What I don't hear mentioned when it comes to trying Obama's SIL is the possibility of terrorist violence during the trial. No doubt security will be tight and costly, but what happens if some New Yorkers get killed because of the venue?

Laura compares the trial of the blind sheik to this one. A lot of water (and blood) have passed under the bridge since this trial. It is comparing apples to oranges. My greatest concern is the possibility of violence rather than whether the government can conduct a fair trial or not. It would have been far better to try this guy in Gitmo, but Holder and Obama are trying to make a political point rather than being concerned about the safety of American citizens. And the costs will be much greater in NYC.

No doubt about this. But they don’t care. They went to great pains to snatch this guy from Jordan and he’s really nothing, just a pawn to get KSM to NYC. THAT matters more to them than the well-being of the American people, for whom they basically have contempt.

Re Obama and Holder causing terrorist attacks and the resulting death and mutilation of New Yorkers during a terror trial—it might blow up in their traitorous faces kinda like closing the WH tours during kiddies’ spring break.

Could they possibly be that stupid? Then I realized that carnage wreaked on New Yorkers by Obama/Holder could result in violent riots. Bad PR yes. The excuse for martial law YES in spades. I believe they’d use the opportunity and Bloomie and Cuomo would help them.
