Terrorists Moved to New York

Holder defends decision to try accused 9/11 terrorists in New York

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is where alleged terrorists have been held since the twin towers were struck. The prisoners are now leaving the United States Detention facility to one in Chicago as they wait to go on trial in New York. Attorney General Eric Holder is defending the idea of trying them in civilian court. Many disagree and want a military tribunal to take place instead. He believes that Americans will finally be given justice. The attorney general intends to get the maximum penalty on all five suspects: the death penalty.

Now that the suspects are finally being brought to justice, many people will be crying for blood. Americans are still very sore from the attacks on 9/11. There is no doubt in my mind that all of the terrorists will be executed. There is no way Americans would be satisfied with any other result. This is going to cause a very biased trial to take place. We are trying the men from our standards and they will pay, the American way, for their actions. While I do not agree with the death penalty-- that in itself is a different issue-- I believe that that is the only way that people of the United States would feel that some justice has been done.

I strongly disagree with Jordan Weaver and Tim Lukes who believe it to be a bad thing that the detention center in Cuba is closing.
