Louis Pepe is advocating that New York City is no place to try the mastermind of September 11, 2001. Louis Pepe understands that terrorists do not belong in civilian courts, but should be tried in safe, protected, escape-proof military venues.
Louis Pepe knows whereof he speaks, and he is speaking out...
Mr. Pepe nearly paid with his life for mistakes that were made before we understood just how dangerous these men are. We now know, and have known for nearly ten years, that they are lethal. Let's treat them accordingly, and allow the professionals in our military to keep them and try them in a facility that we created for just such people. Otherwise:
Federal prison officials are still naive. They give these terrorists toothbrushes, squirt bottles, items that can be used as weapons. Caught up by political correctness, they let them out of handcuffs to pray, leaving guards unprotected.It's going to happen again — unless the trial gets moved to where it belongs, a military prison.

Rumor has it that Senator Russ Feingold(Democrat)from Wisconsin is trying to get the terrorist trials from New York brought to Wisconsin. Once this gets out in the open, anyone is going to be able to beat him in November.
I think the trial should be in front of a full-session of Congress, the president, the vice president, the cabinet, all the czars, the White House Staff, the top layer of the Justice Department, and the Supreme Court. Then we’ll see what kind of appetite they have for giving these dirtballs full rights.
Good. Madison, Wisconsin, the home of the Progressive Movement would be perfect. Either there or San Francisco, home of Pelosi’s district!
hometoroost: Yikes! And put a bullseye on our entire government? Perhaps not.
I think Gitmo is a fine place for this scumbag and others like him. In fact, he can stay there forever, for all I care. He’s an enemy combatant, not in the uniform of any country, and as such undeserving of any protections of the Geneva conventions.
Let him rot.
