Holder: "How can I use the GITMO gang to top what I did for the FALN gang?"

Bloomberg: "Give me your caged, your waterboarded, your terrorist masses yearning to for a show-trial..."

Holder: "Woo-hoo!!!"

Obama: "Uh uh uh Go for it!"

Napalitano: "O ba ma, ..., mm-mm-mmm"

this weasn't a strike against NYC, it was a strike against AMERICA!!!

they hit the Pentagon tooo... any trial should be in DC where they can run the risk of attempts at stopping the trial or revenge after the verdict, NOT NYC.
