The real reason the Right is up in arms?.....

clipped from www.nytimes.com To many, it felt exquisitely right: This is where it began. This is where it must end. The decision got people asking, Does the city want this? Can it possibly bear it? “Let them come to New York,” said Jim Riches, a retired deputy chief of the New York Fire Department, whose son, Jimmy, also a firefighter, died in the attack. “Let them get on trial. Let’s do it the right way, for all the world to see what they’re like. Let’s go. It’s been too long. Let’s get some justice.”

It has nothing to do with the bullshit objections they're throwing at the fan. It's not about Obama appeasing his base. Or war criminals should be tried in military courts. Or how outrageous it would be to bring this animal so close to the sacred ground of 9/11. Or giving Mohammed the same rights as good Americans.

What it is really about is how they are scared shitless that all their dirty little secrets of torture and abuse will finally be confirmed for all the world to see and hear. Period.
