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.The decision to bring terrorists to New York City is stupid beyond belief. They should not be receiving criminal trials, but military tribunals...followed swiftly by executions.
"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.
America will regret Obama's decision.

I'm sure NEW YORKER and The NYT will approve.
These criminals should be put in a dungeon and left to ROT. They are not worthy of being in any of our U.S. prisons.
