11/13/09: Holder Announces "Second Half of the Terror Attack"
Attorney General Eric Holder has a history of helping terrorists - just ask the FALN. In fact, Holder was a partner in the law firm Covington & Burling LLP - a firm that represents 17 terrorists being held in Guantanamo Bay. Given his soft spot for America's enemies and the financial windfall that is sure to benefit his buddies at Covington & Burling during a show trial, this should come as no surprise:
President Obama has made his most outrageous move to date. Attorney General Eric Holder made the announcement this morning that some admitted terrorists including the self declared mastermind of the 9-11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be brought to New York City for trial.
Yes, you are reading this correctly. Our president is bringing terrorists, confessed terrorists, from Guantanamo Bay to New York where they will be tried near what used to be the shadow of the twin towers.
They will have lawyers that will use every means possible to get these terrorists acquitted on technicalities. All it will take is one liberal judge and KSM or one of the others could go free. Think about that. Can you imagine?

The Wall Street Journal agrees:
Attorney General Eric Holder, who dropped this legal bomb on New York yesterday, called his decision to move their trial on war crimes from a military courtroom at Guantanamo Bay to American soil "the toughest" he has had to make. Other words come to mind. For starters, intellectually and morally confused, dangerous and political to a fault.

Right on, right on, right on!
Terrorists also love a big stage, and none come bigger than New York. Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker, made his civilian trial a spectacle. Not even the best judge can entirely stop KSM and others from doing the same. And Mr. Holder has invited grave and needless security risks by tempting jihadists the world over to strike Manhattan while the trial is in session.
