    My favorite part of all this is assholes like Peter King saying we shouldn't be trying these people in New York because it makes New York a terrorist target. Uh.... ?

    Also. Where were idiots like him when dudes like Ramseh Yousef were on trial here? Oh, I guess he only reads the memos about terrorists who kill more than 2,000 people at a pop.

    One last point. I can't see how executing these guys is a punishment. If I were them, it'd be exactly what I'm hoping for. Let's see - the next 50 years rotting in solitary confinement in a maximum security federal prison, or a quick martyrdom that takes me to my 72 virgins? Hmmm, tough choice there.

    I'm not necessarily against the death penalty because it's barbaric (though it is), I'm mostly against it because it's just not a very tough punishment against people who clearly don't care about human life to begin with, including their own. #headlines

    This should have happened years ago. Our criminal justice system is one of the many things that sets us apart from the world's many authoritarian, anti-democratic regimes. If indeed we were attacked for our freedom, it's manifested in our willingness to have an open and transparent court system, not our $3 toasters.

    I wonder if that headline is referring to all Muslims..........or just the terrorist ones who were responsible for the 9-11 tragedy?

    @Buttafooco: Since it specifically mentions the 9/11 fiends, I think you already know the answer. No need to try and ruffle feathers.
    If you were kidding, or being sarcastic, I apologize, but when it comes to things like this, some people like to stir the pot and I feel like that's what you were trying to do. #headlines

    @Topheel: if you've accidentally come across any of my posts, you'd realize almost all of them take a sarcastic/humorous slant. In this case, it was purely sarcastic, given the blatant racial undertones of many stories that comes via the NY Post.
    Sometimes our feathers become ruffled as a result of the insecure winds blowing through them. #headlines

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but part of me was waiting for the NYPost response. It was always going to be ridiculous, dramatic & insane. Why do I enjoy that?

    For what it's worth, I'm often disappointed by justice system, but I also believe in it. I can't imagine that Holder & the Obama Admin would have ever made this move unless they felt they could win in a legitimate, legally substantiated way. Call me naive, but there are too many well-educated lawyers in this admin - including Obama - to convince me otherwise.

    Regardless, assuming - which I am - they're fucking guilty & not just raving lunatics who actually want credit for (there are not really words) what happened that day, I want to seem them convicted legitimately & face the consequences. Which hopefully will be getting attacked by other inmates in whatever prison they're put in. Or execution.

    But on point on story, in the next years, I can't wait to see if the NY Post goes all "NYers can face anything" or the "Terrorists shouldn't be brought back to the city they attacked." Personally, I feel & hope they go the former. #headlines

    @marin79: I'm confident that they'll win it. The prosecutors are from before the Obama administration, so we know they're competent.

    Actually, that's a good point. The Freedom Tower? Speaking of targets, it is going to look and sound like George W. Bush's middle finger. I think if my company decided to move into that building, I would start looking for another job.

    The real danger would be if evil-doers rearranged the letters into something patently unAmerican.

    OK, I understood (that people are greedy) when Arkansas and many other states needed homeland security funds to protect their alligator farms and whatnot, but either there is some money involved here that I don't see (demolition crews getting a sweet contract?), or these people are idiots.

    If we can't have giant, shiny, yellow letters spelling out things, then the terrorists have really won.
