Rudy Giuliani objects to bringing Guantanamo terrorist to be tried in New York

“I think this is a very dangerous decision, and an irresponsible one. And one that is absolutely unnecessary, meaning if Khalid Sheikh Mohammed couldn't be tried anywhere else but in New York, then of course, New York would handle it and do it.

New York is already a target for terrorists. We announce that every day and talk about it every day. To add something unnecessary to that makes no sense. And the president has made a, I believe, irresponsible decision.

And finally, this was an act of war. And one of the things I thought we learned from September 11th was that we were in a state of denial before Sept. 11. We — we went through this once before — 1993. We had people — terrorists — attack the World Trade Center. We did not recognize it as an act of war. We tried them in the Southern District of New York. It did no good.

We were attacked in Africa. We were attacked at those embassies in Africa. We were attacked on the USS Cole. And then we had the worst attack in our history, and I hoped and prayed from that day on it would be the last Islamic terrorist attack in our history.”

Yet this is what Rudy said after he testified in the 2006 trial.

"At the same time, I was in awe of our system," the former mayor continued. "It does demonstrate that we can give people a fair trial, that we are exactly what we say we are. We are a nation of law. . . . I think he's going to be a symbol of American justice."

This is what I think: Politicians are allowed to change their minds on subjects, but in this case it is pure hypocrisy on the part of Rudy because he has been masquerading all this time using 9/11 as his mantra, his speeches during the primaries reflected this, to the point that he could not utter a single speech or at times even a sentence before mentioning 9/11 as if that tragic incident and that alone qualified him to be President. I really don’t know where he is going with this but I say to him maybe you should just get back into the business of being a drag queen and not a politician.
