Ranking Republican on House Intel. Committee Calls NYC 9/11 Trial Decision ‘Ideology Run Wild’
By PoliJAM | November 16, 2009
Asked on Face the Nation what he thought about Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York, just blocks from ground zero, Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) told host Bob Scheiffer that the decision was based on “ideology run wild.”
“This is ideology run wild. We’re going to go back into New York City, the scene of the tragedy on 9/11. We’re now going to rip that wound wide open and it’s going to stay open for, what, two, three, four years as we go through the circus of a trial in New York City?”
Hoekstra, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said that the 9/11 mastermind and his co-conspirators will try to do everything that they can to turn the trial into a “circus,” and will use the forum “as a platform to push their ideology.”
