Friday morning, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the five Guantanamo Bay detainees tied to the 9/11 attacks, including the accused mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be tried in a civilian court in New York City. President Obama commented on the decision, saying that his administration will insist upon "the most exacting demands of justice" when dealing with the accused. According to CNN, the decision has "sparked outrage" as people worry both about the legitimacy of Mohammed and other prisoners' testimonies given allegations that they were tortured and the security demands of holding the trials just a short distance from where the World Trade Towers stood.
