Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Cheney and founder of the Keep America Safe PAC, claimed on Fox News last night that holding terrorism trials in New York “endangers the United States” and brings the country “back to a pre-9/11 mentality.”
“This demonstrates conclusively that we are going back to a pre-9/11 mentality,” she said.
She also hinted that civilian trials would lead to more terrorist attacks.
“We know where that path leads,” she said. “If an enemy is waging war against you and you just issue indictments, then you can’t prevail in those circumstances.”

Cheney’s PAC is encouraging supporters to attend a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing tomorrow at which Attorney General Eric Holder, who announced the decision to try five 9/11 suspects in New York, will testify.
