This tragic verdict demonstrates the absolute insanity of the Obama administration's decision to try al Qaeda terrorists in civilian courts.

I am disgusted at the total miscarriage of justice today in Manhattan's federal civilian court.

This is a real issue. Those of us who live in New York... we really shouldn't allow the firefighters, the police officers, the construction workers, the EMS workers to have to wait longer to get the treatment and the care that they deserve…

It might be appropriate to withhold details of his itinerary for security purposes while he's travelling. However, as soon as he returns, the State Department must make full disclosure of everywhere he went and everyone he met.

We are at war with Islamist terrorism.

The problem I have is that the watchlist, when you look at the numbers, has so many problems with it that I think it is not appropriate to go down the road that we are going because a constitutional right is involved.

Four men, all Muslims, all reportedly Americans, busted this evening in connection with an alleged plot to bomb a synagogue in New York City and shoot down war planes based at the Air National Guard Station north of the city.
