Hundreds of protestors rallied Saturday against the plan to give the alleged mastermind of 9/11 and four others a civilian trial in New York City.
“They are war criminals,” one of the speakers, firefighter and US marines veteran Peter Regan, said to cheers. “The terrorists should be tried in a military court.”
The crowd huddled under umbrellas in chilly rain outside New York’s federal courthouse where Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 suspects are due to be tried after being transferred from the controversial US prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The courthouse is a few blocks from Ground Zero, site of the former World Trade Center, which was destroyed on September 11, 2001 when hijacked airplanes slammed into the Twin Towers and into the Pentagon outside Washington, killing nearly 3,000 people.
The rally was organized by the 9/11 Never Forget Coalition, which argues that those responsible for 9/11 do not deserve the legal rights of US citizens.
……Many at the rally said they worried that bringing (Khalid Sheik) Mohammed, commonly referred to as KSM, to public trial would give the Al Qaeda figure and his co-accused a platform to make militant speeches.
“Holder is giving a megaphone to the terrorists to spout their hatred of this country,” said Sue Vaccaro, an elderly, elegantly dressed woman. “Do the terrorists give all these rights to our people when they cut their heads off?”

Kudos to these folks for not letting this idiotic move by Obama and Holder to go unchallenged.
Expect the protests to grow in size and volume when KSM is paraded in front of the civilian court.
Before the Khalid Shaikh Mohammed Circus comes to town attracting freak shows and illusionists to the midway, I thought the following information would be of interest:
Todd Beamer’s memorial service was held on 09/16/01 at the Princeton Alliance Church in Plainsboro, New Jersey. Todd Beamer’s wife, Lisa Beamer, a grieving mother of two and four months pregnant with her third child, registers TODDBEAMER.ORG four days later on 09/20/01, incorporates The Todd M. Beamer Memorial Foundation eight days later on 9/24/01 and then applies for the trademark “Let’s Roll” ten days later on 9/26/01. Instead of acting like a wife and mother who should be experiencing untold grief and loss her behavior turns a catastrophic personal tragedy into a cold and calculating cheap publicity stunt. But then, the U S Government’s 9/11 propaganda machine needed heroes as well as villains paraded through the media to support endless wars that murder indigenous people for control of their natural resources.
The most pivotal image of the events of 9/11 was what the Associated Press published as the photograph of United flight 175 frozen in time as it approached World Trade Center Two and credited to a Carmen Taylor. However, there appears to be a discrepancy in an early image of her and ones that followed. Real jet planes filled with fuel explode and break apart upon impact. They DO NOT mysteriously enter steel and concrete buildings like a hot knife into soft butter without a spark or bent wing tip. The following link elaborates:

Emmanuel,
Put down the Kool Aid and stop frequenting the “troofer sites”.
Information of interest that would be helpful to you:
“Troofer”: An individual belonging to a group known as the 9/11 “Truthers”; a managerie of wack-job conspiracy theorists who believe that either the government had specific warnings of the impending attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, or worse, that it was behind the attacks.
Scientists, architects, and engineers, including those who built the World Trade Center, have spoken up to debunk these crazy-assed theories and the loonies who embrace them.
The buildings did not “implode”, they collapsed under the weakening of the structures resulting from the jet-fuel-based inferno. Those planes were chock full of flammable material which in turn, caused massive fires to spread throughout the buildings.
Popular Mechanics published a comprehensive, detailed, investigative analysis which dissects all of the myths and idiotic claims surrounding the attacks and the subsequent damage.
Just one of the points covered:
Secondly, anyone who spews shit like “the U S Government’s 9/11 propaganda machine needed heroes as well as villains paraded through the media to support endless wars that murder indigenous people for control of their natural resources”, is clueless and just plain fucking stupid. Before you link to a site that calls itself “progressiveindependent”, make sure you extract your head from your ass.
By the way, those protesters are raising hell for a good reason. KSM and every other muslim jihadist fuckstick we capture should be tried before a miltary tribunal, not a civilian court.
