A few hundred New Yorkers gathered in a cold and rainy Foley Square in downtown Manhattan on Saturday to protest the Obama administration’s decision to try the suspected Sept. 11 attackers in a civilian federal court in New York. Organized by the 9/11 Never Forget Coalition, speakers ranging from 9/11 survivors and family members to Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa to National Review contributing editor Andrew McCarthy denounced Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to try suspected terrorists as ordinary criminals and provide them the “same rights as American citizens.”
The rally, shown in the video below the jump, was held across the street from the courthouse where Holder wants to try self-described 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others, and less than a mile from the former World Trade Center, where the attacks occurred. It ended with both speakers and the crowd calling for Holder’s resignation.

These people are sadly deluded and myopic in their small minds. I pray for them.
Most NYers support finally bringing these terrorists to trial and finding closure by trying these criminals in a jury of NYers.

If you lost your wife, your husband, a parent or your child in NYC on 9/11, could you find closure with your government protecting the rights of the very people who murdered them in cold blood, and hate all of you that defend their rights as much as the 3,000 they already killed and all Americans? It's not about conservative or liberal…it should insult anyone's intelligence.

excellent video! I am surprised that it was not shown on public TV! after all these people deserve to be heard and their views respected whether you agree with them or not. People who suffered such terrible losses cannot forget and cannot forgive and don't have to agree with Mr. Holder's policy. Please send it to the media and let the discussion begin!
