Nearly two weeks after the Obama administration announced its intention to prosecute professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and his fellow defendants in civilian court, family members of the terrorist attack’s victims remain sharply divided on the issue.
On Dec. 5, a group including Sept. 11 victims and family members plans to hold a rally protesting the administration’s decision. The rally is being joined by a “tea party” movement affiliate, a sign that the conservative protest network is expanding its scope of issues.
The rally is scheduled in Foley Square, the Lower Manhattan site of the federal courthouse chosen to hold the trials of the purported Sept. 11 conspirators.
The 9/11 Never Forget Coalition, the group organizing the rally, said an online petition to stop the trials has already garnered 120,000 signers, and a letter signed by 300 Sept. 11 families protesting the decision has been sent to President Obama and other top administration officials.

I don’t know why but every time I see Eric Holder’s face the same tune runs through my mind. Michael Jackson’s….. ‘Ben’.
It’s all part and parcel of the Obama hatred of the USA and working to dismantle any and all things that they can before they are dragged out of office by a huge vote. This is an attempt to tar DicK Cheney (Cheney/Palin on the next Republican Ticket, it’s a major winner) and Pres. Bush with anything they can and at the same time reveal to all the secrets that the US has on Obama’s buddies in the middle east.
Not bloody neat.
