The concern over terrorists being tried in New York is legitimate. A rational air of caution tells common sense people that terrorists should be put through a military tribunal where classified information about legitimate secrets of state would be protected. Having gone through trials of this nature with other terrorists we know that classified information was given to the accused. Because of lessons learned, this idea of having another trial in our judicial system is a most outrageous idea and this administration should learn from the past. The idea that terrorists or people of the world would be moved in some positive way due to our trying terrorists in open court is again outrageous.
People who want to kill us couldn't care less about a fair trial. To think other countries will somehow think we are a better country because, we are willing to put lives in jeopardy and spend perhaps billions of dollars we don't have simply to say, we are a fair country because we try terrorists in open court, is indeed the height of stupidity. Countries that believe in the rule of law and what this country stands for will continue to back us. Countries that have a negative view of America will continue to have a negative view of us no matter where the trials were held. Get rid of this phony excuse about what others will think and go ahead and admit that this administration is simply paying off a political debt to the ultra left wing of their party when they promote the idea of trying terrorists in this country.
