Giuliani Criticizes Terror Trials in New York
By JOSEPH BERGER
Rudolph W. Giuliani, mayor of New York at the time of the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks, said on Sunday that the Obama administration’s
decision to try Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-described mastermind
of the attacks, in a civilian court in Manhattan would unnecessarily
cost millions of dollars for security, create legal advantages for the
defense and symbolically deny that the United States is at war with
terrorism.
“It gives an unnecessary advantage to the terrorists and why would you
want to give an advantage to the terrorists, and it poses risks for
New York,” Mr. Giuliani said in an appearance on CNN’s “State of the
Union.” He also interviewed on ABC’s “This Week” and “Fox News
Sunday.”
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced on Friday that the
United States would try Mr. Mohammed in the federal courthouse in
lower Manhattan, just blocks from where the World Trade Center towers
were brought down by the attacks, which killed almost 3,000 people in
New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
