This article is the only article I have covered on terror. It is about how more than 1000 demonstrators rallied outside Manhattan’s federal courthouse on Saturday. These people were there to protest against the decision to prosecute 5 suspected terrorists from 9/11, in the New York City’s civilian federal court. This group of people consisted of people who had lost loved ones on September 11^th. They were protesting because they thought the terrorists should be tried in a military court. They believe this because they consider these men war criminals, who don’t deserve the rights that the U.S. constitution grants them in a civilian court.

I can understand why these people feel this way. They have lost people that they care about because of these men and so of course they feel angry. I am pretty neutral on the whole thing, but this is because I did not lose anyone I cared about in the attacks. If I had my opinion would probably be different. I hope that for these people sakes the whole thing ends soon so that they can go back to morning their loses in peace.
