A group of men commit a horrible mass murder. Still others helped in the planning of the murder. Law enforcement apprehends the surviving individuals allegedly involved in this horrible crime. A trial is to take place in the city where this mass murder occurred, which gives the surviving victims and the families of those killed a chance to witness justice for their loved ones. <\/p>\n
Unless of course you live in nowhere-near-the-scene-of-the-crime<\/em>, US; read the Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/strong><\/em> editorial pages, and watch Fox News<\/em>. Then bringing the alleged plotters to justice is far too scary. Such is the reaction of the far right<\/a><\/strong> to the news<\/strong><\/a> that the alleged plotters involved in the 9\/11 attacks will be tried in a court of law and in NYC – the city in which this mass murder took place.<\/p>\n It has come down to pan-criticism. I wonder what the point of that is. My wife always says that this is the throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks approach. I guess that’s right, but it all seems so childish. It reminds me of the kid in grammar school who always said, "Well, you have cooties!" Always. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n

"House Republican Leader John Boehner [Ohio] says the Obama administration is putting "liberal special interests before the safety and security of the American people" in deciding to bring the 9\/11 mastermind to the United States for trial in federal civilian court."<\/div>\n<\/ul>\n\n
"We’re too scared to have real trials in our country" is a level of cowardice unmatched in the world.<\/em><\/sup>
