Giuliani Opposes Trying Terrorists In NY Civil Court
By Marianna Levyash- Talk Radio News Service
At a phone conference Wednesday, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani opposed trying 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other terrorists in civilian courts.
Giuliani said a more appropriate place for their trial would be miiltary tribunals for the terror suspects.
“There are military commissions that have now been confirmed and created by Congress…there is absolutely no reason to try these people in federal court in New York,” stated Giuliani.
The detainees are currently being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and they would be transferred to a civil court in New York City.
Giuliani also noted that there is “no reason to put people through an intense re-living of what happened with the terrorist.”
Giuliani said that this will be a multi-year process and will continue to create an enormous expense for the city and state government to have these trials.

Obama is again wasting taxpayer money, time and reputation by trying the terrorists in criminal court. Does any body know how to make this man listen to the public?
