Fox News contributor and NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin offers his opinion that the rethinking of holding terrorists trials in NY is the product of a Tea Party. Well maybe; maybe not. Could it be the issues plus another insult to Ny that turned the tide? If so, it may be less of a tea party moment and more of a kool-aid response. Consider:
1) $200 million dollars was way too costly, even for New Yorkers.
2) Disruption of daily life, perhaps for weeks if not years, considering appeals.
3) Chronic discourse whether a civil trial vs. military tribunal is the better forum.
4) The questionable 'showcasing our justice system' reinforcing NY as a perpetual target.
5) The insult of choosing a NY site without contact or approval of the police commissioner or Mayor Bloomberg.
