Family Security Matters » Publications » Exclusive: Decision to Try 9/11 Masterminds in New York a Slap in the Face to All Americans: "In an act that further makes a mockery of the Islamist threat that faces us, the administration has decided that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Gitmo detainees will be sent to New York City to stand trial in a civilian federal court for their role in the 9/11 atrocity. According to Attorney General Eric Holder, prosecutors will seek the death penalty.
No word yet if Lynne Stewart has offered to be on the defense team.
“For over 200 years our nation has relied upon a faithful adherence to the rule of law,” Holder told a news conference at the Justice Department. “Once again, we will ask our legal system in two venues to answer that call.” Yes, but “rule of law” usually applies only to citizens and others who are here legally – not terrorists and other enemy combatants. These men did not break into someone’s house and burgle it. They were part of a plot that killed thousands of Americans in what was an overt act of war against our people and our nation."
