More insanity from the Obama administration: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will stand trial in criminal court in NYC:
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and four others accused in the attacks will be put on criminal trial in New York, Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to announce later Friday.The decision, described by people familiar with the matter, is part of wider announcement planned on how to bring to justice detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay prison. It’s the first set of decisions before a Monday deadline on how to deal with the more than 200 prisoners remaining at the facility, which President Barack Obama has ordered closed.
This man and his gang of terrorists mass murdered thousands of civilians on Sept. 11, 2001. They are not U.S. citizens. Yet the DOJ will put them in front of a judge and jury in NYC, a jury that won’t be composed of their peers. Although Holder seeks the death penalty for these cases, it is still unbelievable that these foreign murderers will actually step foot in an American criminal court.
The fairest thing to do would be a military tribunal. Is it even possible for KSM and his gang to get a fair trial in NYC, if “fair” is what the W.H. and DOJ have in mind? Allowing these terrorists to set foot onto NYC is adding insult to injury and reopening wounds that would only stir up more upsetting emotions.
