George Bush: Terrorists should be tried in U.S. Courts.

Via Greg Sargent:

With Republicans hammering the Obama administration for trying suspected 9/11 terrorists in a New York court, a Democrat points out that in 2006, George W. Bush seemed to say outright that terrorists should be “tried in courts here in the United States.”

There was no outcry at the time.

Bush's line was: "I believe they ought to be tried in courts here in the United States." Huh. Now, as Markos noted in his recent column in The Hill (titled appropriately, "Conservative Cowards"), Republicans are fretting, trembling and wailing.
