Paterson Doesn’t Want Terrorists Tried in New York

On Friday Governor Paterson said he would “cooperate to the full extent” with the federal government’s plan to try five terrorists linked to 9/11 in downtown Manhattan. Today, he’s reversed course.

Paterson is one of a few Democrats to come out against the Obama administration on this issue. But he has lots of people on the other side who agree with him, including Rudy Giuliani, who, we understand, knows a thing or two about 9/11.
