According to NBC News New York<\/a> yesterday, New York City officials were not consulted by the Justice Department before deciding to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others in civilian courts in New York City.  (As an aside, where are they going to find a ‘jury of their peers?’)   Mayor Bloomberg was informed the morning that Attorney General Eric Holder<\/font><\/a> made the announcement.  <\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

\n

“The terror suspects are expected to arrive in New York early next year, at least 45 days after the Justice Department formally notifies Congress of its plans to bring the suspects here.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

New York Police Department Commissioner Ray Kelly<\/a> has stated, ” The fact is we weren’t asked.  And we will make the best of a situation.  We weren’t.”<\/p>\n

Because of the budget crunch that many city and state governments are currently facing, New York City has fewer policemen today that it did on September 11, 2001.  I hope that the federal government will at least increase the security funding for the City during the trial.<\/p>\n
