Barack Obama and Eric Holder are going to have the trial in New York because it will be a big news event from the time the trial starts until it finishes after the 2010 elections!

What are the reasons for this decisions? Well I would suggest it will distract people from discussing the huge unemployment numbers and take the public's attention away from the next big push for Cap & Trade which will probably take place under the cover of the trials!Not to mention the fact that Obama can refresh his BLAME GAME on George Bush for all the ills of society. Bush and Cheney and the whole Republican administration along with the CIA will be on trial and all the CIA sources and intelligence collection methods will be revealed to the world to the detriment of agents all over the world who are risking their lives every day to protect us! And also there are the 2010 elections for congress.  I'm sure the democrats will have their ads with republican canidates linking them to George Bush at the same time these trials are going on attempting to vilify the republican administration!

These trials will endanger the people of New York and the rest of the country and serve a big propaganda opportunity for the terrorist!

These terrorist should have been tried in military tribunals already and summarly executed by the military!

The politically correct people in this country are once again endangering our nation by coddling these terrorist and using them for political purposes! Obama has proven his inability to lead this nation and his willingness to use any tactic to further his political agenda! He proved he was a good campaigner but he has proven he absolutely is not a LEADER! With all the wreckless spending and adding to the defecit and endless government programs and regulations and red tape, one can only assume this is meant to destroy our country! That's the best JOB Obama and the democrats have done since 2008!

    If that's the best contribution you can make, please return to the briar patch. This is a serious issue with potentially distrous consequences. It is a totally stupid move on the part of the administration. "

    Because Obama just wants to peeve the nazis over at Fox News... "

    " To A jury of peers

    Obama has said that some Gitmo residents will be tried in civilian court, some in military court, and some just held indefinitely with no trial.

    That should make the liberals who whine about our disregard for the constitution during interrogations happy. Guess the reason they aren’t whining about this is because, even they, no longer believe anything Obama says. "

    A Jury of Peers wrote on Nov 19, 2009 11:42 PM:

    " Since these terrorists will be tried as all Americans are tried will they be given the right to a Jury of their Peers? That means at minimum a jury of American Muslems. These trials should prove very interesting. Each of these terrorists will be alive at least 12 more years after their trials just so their attorneys can run the gauntlet of appeals for each of them. This will cost millions of tax payer dollars. This will open the door for all Guantanimo Bay terrorists as they request their day on trial in New York City. "

    " If this man were convicted by a military court, and sentenced to death, there would be an automatic appeal to the president. The president would either concur or commute the sentence to life. Obama won’t execute a Moslem. If the civilian court sentences him to death Obama’s hands are clean. Kinda like Caesar when Christ was crucified. "

    Because this administration is absolutely clueless!! "

    " I believe in America and I believe in its judicial system. When these terrorists are found guilty and sentenced, it will finally bring some closure to 9/11. We will live with it forever, but an important part of it will be finished. "

    " Some one should re-inact 16 minutes. (not really, don't send the FEDs after me!)This is not a good idea. There are too many people that could end up on their juries and aquit them. Yet our soldiers get life in prison for killing psycho murderers. I just think its horrible that these monsters have rights that they do not deserve. I say punish them all. Slowly and painfully. "

    " Maybe they should be tried in NYC because that's where the crime occurred?

    Wow. Just wow. "

    Interesting wrote on Nov 19, 2009 6:58 AM:

    " These admitted terrorist should not get a trial. They've confessed to the crime and in doing so, deserve a plea deal. Isn't that what happens to every criminal that confesses? The trial's are canceled and they start their punishment.

    So...why in the world are they even trying these admitted terrorists? Move on to the sentencing phase and send them somewhere nice...like Angola, or to that Sheriff Joe out there in Arizona. He'll take good care of them.

    This will turn into a media circus...just like everything else "political". An embarrassment and failure. "

    " The same person that surrounded AMERICAN men, women, and children with TANKS and eventually caused the burning to death of these AMERICAN citizens at WACO, is now going to give a TERRORIST who is responsible for the deaths of THOUSANDS of AMERICAN CITIZENS the same rights as AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!! Erick Holder was in charge of the slaughter at WACO!!! I thought he would just burn Sheikh Mohammed at the stake!!! "

    " If these terrorists are tried as common criminals in New York there is a very good possibility they will walk as free men. Our entire judicial system will be on trial and let's face it, the way criminals walk free these days I certainly wouldn't want to see the fiasco that could take place. I am interested in how they will get around the Miranda Rights Waiver and water boarding questioning methods. Maybe the trial will be useful in that cops may be able to start using some of the techniques used on these terrorists here in America. "

    Outraged wrote on Nov 18, 2009 5:41 PM:

    " Erick Holder was before a senate panel and was asked by senator Lindsay Graham if Bin Laden were captured today if he would be entitled to be given "Miranda Rights"? Holder replied "It all depends"! He later said this issue was a red herring!
    If Bin Laden were captured and not given his Miranda Rights and later tried in a U S court the evidence against him could be thrown out!!!
    This P C BUSINESS is killing us!!!! "

    " Just let one person of the same faith as the terrorist get on a jury and see what happens. A hung jury and a major embarrasment to our country. "

    " Bringing these evil men to justice is NOT "meant to destroy our country". It is meant to bring these men to justice! I am no fan of Obama, but I'm not going to interpret every action by the Obama administration as proof that America is going to wrack and ruin. "

    " Our judicial system is one of the best in the world and I would stack it up against any country out there. There are, however, procedural nuances (some say tricks) that could let Khalid Sheikh Mohammed off the hook. That would be a travesty of justice. Still, I wouldn't go to court without a slam dunk of a case, and I don't think the AG would either. "

    " Exactly when do you suggest that we bring these terrorists to justice? Never? How long did the Bush administration have these people? They could have been tried (in military tribunals even) long before now. I'm sure the evidence against them didn't suddenly become much stronger once Bush left office and Holder became Attorney General. It is long past time to bring these terrorists to justice and have some closure. In the words of Senator Patrick Leahy, we will not run and cower, we will bring these men to justice. "
