Yesterday's announcement that five accused 9/11 plotters will finally face civilian trials in downtown Manhattan next year has families of the victims feeling emotions ranging from a desire to see justice finally served in the place where the murders happened, to firm opposition against the "circus" of a trial so close to the former site of the towers.
