The Obama administration appears to be backing away from the plan to try the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York City.

The White House's revised stance comes amid calls from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and others that the trial should be moved out of Manhattan due to security costs, traffic delays and fears of new attacks.

Accused 9/11 Plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Faces New York Trial

Five Guantanamo Bay detainees with alleged ties to the 9/11 conspiracy, including accused mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be transferred to New York to go on trial in civilian court, Attorney General Eric Holder announced Friday.

I'd like to know exactly where in the Constitution these dirtbags get the same rights as the American citizens that they murdered? They also don't fall under the Geneva Convention treaty because they are non-uniformed soldiers. Therefore, why are we not following history here and continuing with military tribunals? They are swift executioners of justice, pun intended. Just wait until some technicality comes up and this man is acquitted.
