The Obama administration on Friday gave up on its plan to try the Sept. 11 plotters in Lower Manhattan, bowing to almost unanimous pressure from New York officials and business leaders to move the terrorism trial elsewhere.
The reversal on whether to try the alleged 9/11 terrorists blocks from the former World Trade Center site seemed to come suddenly this week, after Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg abandoned his strong support for the plan and said the cost and disruption would be too great.
[...]
Mr. Bloomberg’s remarks on Wednesday set off a stampede of New York City officials, most of them Democrats well-disposed toward President Obama, who suddenly declared that a civilian trial for the 9/11 suspects was a great idea — as long as it didn’t happen in their city.
The argument being made is that it would cost a gazillion dollars to set up security in Lower Manhattan and that the disruption to the city would be untenable. I don’t know. I’m thinking that now that they’ve got the trial moved out of the city, the scaredy-cats will get it moved out of the state and eventually out of the country. Another moral victory for the terrorists.

If we cannot defend our way of life,our moral structure,our values to the world, how can we look in anybody’s eye and tell them that we believe in them.
Shame to us in not believing in the justice system of America if we don’t try them here. Crimes were perpetrated not only against americans. It was a world event and the world is looking for leadership. Leadership that is defeated by fear.

At this point, I just want them to charge & try these people. I’m tired of everything being a Republican vs Democrat issue. I was OK with the trials being held here in New York. If they can’t do it here, get it done somewhere. I see no alternative from the left except, “keep Gitmo open.” How far we have fallen.

What a future we got ?
They should just hold the trials in a high security prison, the security is already there and most of them already have court rooms..
I agree with Jovial, shame on us in not believing in the justice system.
