America's Terror Trial

On today's program we will speak with World Magazine Editor Mindy Belz about her articles dealing with 9/11 plotters being moved to federal court in New York City - just a few blocks from 'ground zero'.

In her National Security article entitled 'New York's trial' Mindy wrote, 'Attorney General Eric Holder announced the decision on Friday to try the 9/11 plotters in U.S. civil courts rather than military tribunals created by Congress and run by the Department of Defense to try terror detainees at Guantanamo, a naval facility run by the United States in Cuba. 'I have very serious concerns about the wisdom of this decision,' said former assistant Attorney General Paul McNulty, reached by telephone Friday evening. 'I believe bringing KSM in particular and the group as a whole to New York places extremely dangerous circumstances on our legal system and our law enforcement.'

During the program today, we will discuss the ramifications of this decision.
