Obama Attorney General Orders Terrorist Trial in New York City

Nov 2009 - Attorney General Eric Holder says he decided to bring the suspects to trial in New York because of the nature of the undisclosed evidence against them, because the 9/11 victims were mostly civilians, and because the attacks took place on U.S. soil.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed ('KSM'), the reputed al Qaeda plotter of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, will be put on trial in federal court in Manhattan, near the site of the World Trade Center Sept. 11th attacks. He is likely to also face outstanding charges in a secret 1996 indictment for his alleged role in the 1994 'Bojinka' plot - described by the 9/11 Commission as "the intended bombing of 12 U.S. commercial jumbo jets over the Pacific during a two-day span."

Four other Guantanamo Bay detainees -- Walid Muhammed Salih Mubarak Bin Attash, Ramzi Bin Al Shibh, Ali Abdul-Aziz Ali, and Mustafa Ahmed Al Hawsawi - will also be tried in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Prosecutors are likely to face defense challenges over KSM's water boarding while he is was in U.S. Custody.

Defense attorneys for KSM, and for other accused 9/11 terror detainees, are sure to put up a legal fight over any detainee confessions allegedly obtained using extreme measures, torture, or interrogations and seek depositions and discovery of sensitive military operations in Bush's War on Terrorism.

The former mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, says putting suspected Sept. 11 terrorists on trial in New York City places residents there at unnecessary risk. Giuliani tells CNN's "State of the Union" that a more appropriate choice would be military tribunals for the terror suspects. He says that option recognizes that the U.S. is at war with Islamic terrorists. Giuliani was mayor of New York when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

Pay attention to Eric Holder’s law firm and Gitmo detainees By Michelle Malkin
 
Eric Holder is a senior partner with Covington & Burling, a prestigious Washington, D.C. law firm, which represents 18 terrorists held at Guantánamo Bay.

They continue to pursue relief in the D.C. Circuit under the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 for all of their clients. On a separate front, they filed amicus briefs and coordinated the amicus effort in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld in which the Supreme Court in the summer of 2006 invalidated President Bush’s military commissions and in which they have obtained favorable rulings that their clients have rights under the Fifth Amendment and the Geneva Conventions.

The fact that Mr. Holder, while Deputy Attorney General, pushed for the release of 16 violent FALN terrorists against the advice of the FBI, the US Attorneys who prosecuted them and the NYPD officers who were maimed by them, suggests that he was perfectly willing to put politics before the national security interests of the country. He is not suited for the job of attorney general, which is central to the issues surrounding the disposition of war on terror detainees.
