WE HEAR GITMO'S AVAILABLE:

White House may move terror trials out of Manhattan (KASIE HUNT & HARRY SIEGEL | 1/28/10, Politico)

The apparent shift came after New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an independent who had been a vocal advocate of holding the trial in the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan, reversed his position on Wednesday.

“It would be great if the federal government could find a site that didn't cost a billion dollars, which using downtown will," Bloomberg told reporters.

Bloomberg’s comments opened the floodgates, as other New York Democrats all but lined up Thursday to register their objections to holding the trails in lower Manhattan.

Boy, the UR can be rolled by anybody.
