The Justice Department announced that plans had been dropped to transfer Sheikh Mohammed and four other accused conspirators to New York, after protests by local police and politicians about cost and security risks.
Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, said: "The president's primary concern is that the accused perpetrators of that terrible attack on the American people are brought to justice as fairly as possible and as swiftly as possible."
The move will disappoint the president's liberal supporters and human rights groups, who have condemned him for renewing the judicial terror policies of George W Bush. the rest

Holder needs to go. He is a liability to Dems. His inane idea of trying KSM in a civilian court at the expense of at least $800 million dollars and making us more vulnerable to terror attacks, is one for the records. His lawsuit against AZ. for enforcing Fed. Immigratio¬n Law and his failure to prosecute the Black Panthers caught on video tape intimidati¬ng voters only because they are black gives him a trifecta for ignorance. And that is without mentioning the gun running scandal to Mexico.
