9/11 Trial in/out of downtown Manhattan

To an Attorney General sitting in his office in D.C., the best place to have the trial of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed(one of the creators of the 9/11 attacks) would be Manhattan. Right where his plan came into action. This would be the place where justice would be served well. But to many residents in and around the area, a big "I don't think so," flashed across their minds, faces and tweets. The downtown area is already riddled with construction for the past 9 years. Does anyone also need to be reminded that New York City is also the most populated city in this country? Everyone and everything is already on top of each other. Everyday is a hectic one here. This was how the "Welcome to New York" bump/shove/push was created. If the biggest trial for the United States is held by City Hall, downtown Manhattan, who knows what more havoc it can provoke. It will be more frustrating, more expensive, more dangerous and definitely more trouble than wanted for. Yes, justice needs to prevail and it actually would be great if it can happen where the crime was made. But in this case, it doesn't make sense. Of all the places we have in this nation, Mr. Attorney General Eric Holder, does it really have to happen here?
