Lawyer: 9/11 defendants want platform for views

NEW YORK (AP) - The five men facing trial in the Sept. 11 attacks will plead not guilty so that they can air their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday.

Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for accused terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, said the men would not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but "would explain what happened and why they did it."

The U.S. Justice Department announced earlier this month that Ali and four other men accused of murdering nearly 3,000 people in the deadliest terrorist attack in the U.S. will face a civilian federal trial just blocks from the site of the destroyed World Trade Center.

Ali, also known as Ammar al-Baluchi, is a nephew of professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

Mohammed, Ali and the others will explain "their assessment of American foreign policy," Fenstermaker said.

"Their assessment is negative," he said.

Fenstermaker met with Ali last week at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. He has not spoken with the others but said the men have discussed the trial among themselves.

Fenstermaker was first quoted in The New York Times in Sunday's editions.

Critics of Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to try the men in a New York City civilian courthouse have warned that the trial would provide the defendants with a propaganda platform.

Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, said Sunday that while the men may attempt to use the trial to express their views, "we have full confidence in the ability of the courts and in particular the federal judge who may preside over the trial to ensure that the proceeding is conducted appropriately and with minimal disruption, as federal courts have done in the past."

Last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Holder for hours about his decision to send the five 9/11 suspects to New York for trial.

Critics of Holder's decision - mostly Republicans - argued the trial will give Mohammed and his co-defendants a world stage to spout hateful rhetoric. Holder said such concerns are misplaced, and any pronouncements by the suspects would only make them look worse.

"I have every confidence that the nation and the world will see him for the coward that he is," Holder told the committee. "I'm not scared of what Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has to say at trial - and no one else needs to be, either."

The attorney general said he does not believe holding the trial in New York - at a federal courthouse that has seen a number of high-profile terrorism trials in recent decades - will increase the risk of terror attacks there.
 
Someone posted the other day something to the effect that "We're New York and we can handle the trial just fine by ourselves."

How's that working out?
 
And just for those of you who might not be paying attention .....


Obama's choice for Atty Gen, Eric Holder, has a HUGE national security conflict of interest as senior partner with Covington & Burling — the prestigious Washington, D.C. law firm, which represents 17 Yemenis currently held at Gitmo.

You know, Holder is the same guy working for obama who cancelled the military trials in progress to give these terrorists a civil trial, as if they were US citizens, instead of illegal enemy combatants. The same guy who couldn't answer the question if there was precedent for his decision (there was not - it has never been done before in the history of the United States)


Of course, this was a known fact prior to his appointment ... just as others with questionable backgrounds and ideologies were included in the radical administration.

Why shame on Bam-Bam?

This is what he was elected to do.

Ask all who voted for him: Only the truly gifted can take down a superpower! Gush... Slobber.... Swoon.
 
I love how we are reducing these thugs to common criminals as that is exactly what they are.

Can you believe that some people want to consider these jerks Soldiers and try them in the Military?

These asshole WANTED to be tried in Military tribunals so they could pretend that they were soldiers. Holder didn't give them what they wanted.

Why do some of you suggest he do so?

Oh yeah, blind hatered and nothing else to suggest. Just bitch, bitch, bitch. We got it already. You don't like the O man and never will. You may shut the fuck up now. We get it.

The DECIDER has decided. Deal with it.

Our courts send many terrorists to jail for the rest of their lives.

How do those tribunals work out for the US?

Oh, you are trying to claim that was a terrorist attack when nobody else is saying so.

Sorry, your fear needs to clarify the question. Grow a pair of balls and ask again.

Bring them the fuck on. I would RATHER fight those non-existing fuckers over here. It's cheaper, the weather is nicer and there is beer. Quit being suck a fucking pussy and man up. Why do you feel it neccessary to hide under the bed of the Federal Government you chickenshit?

Just fine.

So the terrorists are going to challenge our system in court. So what?
 
"But what about all the cameras..........."

Federal courts don't allow cameras.

"But what about having a platfrom to spout their rhetoric......."

It's called contempt of court and they would watch the rest of the trial from a jail cell.

The real question is what in the fuck are you so scared of?
