The White House ordered the Justice Department to consider other places to try the 9/11 terror suspects after a wave of opposition to holding the trial in lower Manhattan.
The White House took the action hours after Mayor Bloomberg called Attorney General Eric Holder to say he would "prefer that they did it elsewhere."
"It would be an inconvenience at the least, and probably that's too mild a word for people that live in the neighborhood and businesses in the neighborhood," Bloomberg told reporters.
"There are places that would be less expensive for the taxpayers and less disruptive for New York City."

Bloomberg probably told him to get lost.
How about Abu Ghraib? I hear Lynndie England is available. :lol:I know three cities that would be perfect for the trial - Boston, San Francisco, or Seattle
"There are places that would be less expensive for the taxpayers and less disruptive for New York City."
I agree with that. There's nothing wrong with bringing terrorists to justice. There's nothing wrong with being practical about it either.
Practicality would indicate that we should have tried him in a military tribunal, in Guantanamo Bay. Everything to conduct the tribunal is already in place. The logistical problem is already solved and we wouldn't be having this political clap-trap.
Too bad, but the righties had ample opportunity to try these guys while they still controlled the White House. But no, they were more interested in torture and indefinite detention.
They had their chance, but blew it.

Every day, a click to the right occurs concerning Gitmo.
The issues are obvious 1) Security 2) Cost 3) Facilitation and Transportation 4) Communication, meaning every level of government...Federal, State, and Local must coordinate. Every level of government has it's own security, cost, communication, and facilitation concerns. The endeavor becomes colossal and overwhelming, the good Mayor of New York realizing that the day the decision was made no doubt.
May I ask a question, Barack?
Which one of the concerns above doesn't Gitmo provide the perfect solution?
Every day...more and more will come to realize what a stroke of genius Gitmo truly is.
Trying them in Manhattan next to their "work" might be the dumbest governmental decision in known history. Makes you wonder where their true allegiances lie, because no mildly educated adult could blunder this so badly.
That's right, give him a fair trail before shooting him.Who cares! I don't care where they get tried, just as long as there's a trial.
