WASHINGTON - Pressured by a growing clamor from New York, the Obama administration has decided to move the trial of Sept. 11 terror suspects away from Manhattan, where it had been scheduled to take place just blocks from the site of the twin towers attack.
It appears that this was done for political reasons, yes? I hope that the Administration realizes that it looks like if people push hard enough, the Administration will back down.
Wait.... the fun is just starting. Now we have the infamous "NIMBY"
* coming in to play.
A few of the areas suggested to hold the trial have already gone on record as saying that they don't want it; they don't want their citizen's put at risk or possibly be disrupted by the attention that a trial would bring.
Orange County (upstate NY) is the home of two of the suggested choices and many town and civic leaders from there are already yelling that they don't want the trial in their area.
* NIMBY = Not In My Back Yard
