Muddy (Jury) Pool

Attorney General Eric Holder announced Friday that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other suspects in the Sept. 11 attacks are to be transferred from Guantanamo Bay to New York for prosecution.

Can New Yorkers, sitting in a court building that endured a rain of twin towers debris, be impartial and provide a fair trial in this terrorism case?
