Paterson Rips White House For NYC 9/11 Trial

New York Governor Says Trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 4 Others In New York 'A Decision I Would Not Have Made'

Gov. David Paterson openly criticized the White House on Monday, saying he thought it was a terrible idea to move alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other suspected terrorists to New York for trial.

"This is not a decision that I would have made. I think terrorism isn't just attack, it's anxiety and I think you feel the anxiety and frustration of New Yorkers who took the bullet for the rest of the country," he said.

Paterson's comments break with Democrats, who generally support the President's decision.

"Our country was attacked on its own soil on September 11, 2001 and New York was very much the epicenter of that attack. Over 2,700 lives were lost," he said. "It's very painful. We're still having trouble getting over it. We still have been unable to rebuild that site and having those terrorists so close to the attack is gonna be an encumbrance on all New Yorkers."

Paterson also said that the White House warned him six months ago this very situation would happen. He said while he disagrees with the decision, he will do everything in his power to make sure that the state's Department of Homeland Security will keep New Yorkers as safe as possible.

0Bama knows all about causing New Yorkers anxiety and fear.  I'm sure they still remember the fly-by just to get some pictures of the Statue of Liberty with "Air-Farce One".

I wonder if the White House has bothered to figure out the cost of bringing these animals to NYC - housing them, the trial costs, security, etc.....

All paid for by our tax dollars.

It wasn't enough that they came over here and killed thousands of our fellow countrymen....we now get to pay for them to have the right to a fair trial for killing us.....

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

I agree with Paterson.  As a former New Yorker, I can certainly sympathize with the anxiety and angst New Yorkers must feel towards this.

It wouldn't surprise me to see this stunt by the Obamessiah cost one or two House Dems from NY their seats next year.  It also wouldn't surprise me to see this stunt cost Obama New York in 2012.  Not likely, but it wouldn't surprise me.
