U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Feels Vindicated By Abu Ghaith Conviction In NYC

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday he still believes Manhattan is the right place to put the self-professed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks on trial, but he won’t revisit the decision to have his fate decided by a military tribunal instead.

Holder commented on the case against Khalid Sheik Mohammed during a visit to New York to congratulate the trial team that last week won a conviction of Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, who is Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law and was al Qaeda’s spokesman after the 2001 attacks.

The attorney general said it was fitting that Abu Ghaith, “who publicly gloated about the attacks on the World Trade Center, stood trial near where those buildings once stood; before a jury of New Yorkers, and; in full view of many of those who lost loved ones in the attack.”

1. Hey Holder, Manhattan is also the right place to put Wall Street crooks on trial

But we'd settle for a military tribunal for them as well.

Oh, and Cheney and Rumsfeld too.

You can pat yourself on the back when you get them.
