	RUSSELL OPPOSES SHANKSVILLE TERROR TRIALS 9-11 Survivor Calls on A-G to Give KSM Case to Military Tribunal   (JOHNSTOWN, PA) – Recent news reports have indicated that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is looking for a location less populated than New York City to conduct the civilian trial for 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. One of the locations reportedly under consideration is Shanksville, Pennsylvania.   Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. William Russell, Republican candidate for the nomination for Representative in the 12th PA Congressional district announced today that he is adamantly opposed to holding a civilian trial for KSM in the 12th district including Shanksville.    “As a survivor of the terrorist attack on the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001, I have personally seen the death and destruction brought on American soil by these evil members of Al Qaeda,” said Russell. “On that fateful day, my wife and young son were also at the Pentagon. I know what it is like to wonder if your family has survived an attack and I do not want any family in America to have to experience that, ever! As a former member of the military, and now as a resident running to be a member of Congress, it is my duty to protect and defend the citizens of this country and especially the 12th district of Pennsylvania.”   Russell also believes that the trial for KSM should not be held in a civilian court, but in a court of military justice. “Every man and woman serving in every branch of the service receives justice in the form of a military tribunal or Court of Military Justice,” said Russell. “Why would our President and Attorney General say it’s good enough for members of the American military but not good enough for terrorists? It’s an insult to brave American who has worn the uniform.”   Russell concluded, “I will do everything in my power to keep the residents of this area from the possibility of living with a target on their backs and to insist that Washington move the trial back to the Courts of Military Justice where it properly belongs.” More information is available at www.russellbrigade.com

Elitist snobs. Sure, send him to PA. We can’t have anything happen in DC or NY. Those hicks clinging to their guns and religion don’t matter.

Hope the jurors don't mind an out house.

I heard the Federal Bldg. in Pittsburgh is in the running.
Planners say the building has a good location on the edge of downtown and would be easier to control from protesters.
The police in the Burgh also have a good reputation for being tough on the unwashed.

How true, placate the jihadi lovers, who cares about the Flight 93 crashsite or the “racist redneck” bumpkins who live nearby.
