Barack Obama Doesn't Care About American Security, To Try Terrorists In N.Y. Civil Court

NYTimes.com:

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-described mastermind of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and four other men accused in the plot will be prosecuted in federal court in New York City, the United States attorney general announced Friday.

But the administration will prosecute another set of high-profile detainees now being held at the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba — Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who is accused of planning the 2000 bombing of the Navy destroyer Cole in Yemen, and four other detainees — before a military commission.

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said he would seek the death penalty against the five defendants if they are found guilty in federal court.

He announced those decisions in a news conference Friday at the Department of Justice. The arrangements would mean that civilian prosecutors would handle those detainees accused of the 2001 terrorist attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, northern Virginia and Pennsylvania, while the 2000 attack against the Cole would remain within the military system.

Another example of what happens when you let liberals steer the wheel. They're more concerned about what the ACLU thinks instead of worrying about the security of Americans. Unbelievable too that A.G. Holder would be so insensitive to the families and friends of the victims of 9/11 to have these murderous scum shipped off for trials right in their backyard. God forbid one of these terrorists goes free on some sort of "technicality" then Barry's ass will really be on the line.
