I think it's important for NYC to be able to see some justice. This is not going to be a "show" as limbot says. if anything I'd think they would have a hard time finding a jury that didn't know somebody in the towers. But let the legal system handle that and let NY and the USA have it's justice.

Let justice be done! Our nation lost its way in the years following 9/11. Nearly the entire world was with us as we led the attack against Afghanistan. When we misguidedly launched an attack on Iraq before our objectives were met in Afghanistan we started down a path that continues to haunt us today. We began illegal renditions, such as when the CIA illegally kidnapped a suspect from the streets of one of our closest allies. Charges were filed and verdicts handed down against the CIA in that matter. We forgot that our society is based on the rule of law and that we have viewed justice as blind since our country's inception. We have held people, guilty or not, without charge and without due process in a legal gray area. We have tortured and lied. Even our allies mistrust us now and for good reason. We acted outside the norms of international behavior. The Pew Research Institute conducts an annual Global Opinion Survey and we have become the world's least liked developed country simply because of our behavior. I welcome our return to normalcy and the principles our nation was founded on!
