Grandstanding GOP: Withhold funds for civilian court terror trials
Of course, they didn’t say a word when Bush did it, but nobody expects anything but pandering and “no” from these losers:
Senators push legislation to pull funding for civilian 9/11 trial
Washington (CNN) — Several senators announced legislation Tuesday that would cut off funding for the federal trial of alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four accused accomplices, saying the five should be tried in a military court.
“We believe we’re at war,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, who stood with a number of senators that included Democrats and Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, an independent.
“The law enforcement model being used by the Obama administration should be rejected,” Graham said. “We’re not fighting a crime, we’re fighting a war.”
Actually, you’re not fighting a war, since none has been declared since 1941, but whatever.

Remember: it’s the UFO aliens who did it in the first place. …and having the trials in NYC was not a good idea, who would’ve thought it was, anyway?

Why not have them in New York?
