CNSNews.com - Tens of Thousands Sign Petition Urging Holder to Move KSM Trial from New York: "Update: As of Monday morning, January 11, the petition has garnered more than 60,000 signatures, including those of conservative author Ann Coulter and former New York Gov. George Pataki (R), the petition's organizers said.
(CNSNews.com) – More than 60,000 people (new number), including members of Congress and three former presidential candidates, have signed a petition calling on Attorney General Eric Holder to move the trial of Khalid Shiekh Mohammed (or KSM) from New York City to a military tribunal.
The petition, launched Jan. 6 and sponsored by the conservative publications Human Events and RedState.com, calls on Holder to move the trials of Mohammed and four other al Qaeda terrorists from federal court in New York and return them to the military tribunal system.
Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, had previously indicated he wanted to plead guilty before a military tribunal. Since being transferred to civilian court, his lawyer has said Mohammed will plead not guilty. The petition says that there is “no reason” to try Mohammed and his four co-conspirators in federal court."
