Those accused of masterminding the September 11th attacks are returning to Manhattan.

Americans have demanded justice be served to those responsible for the 9/11 attacks and Friday marks the first step in making that happen.

Speaking out on the issue today was Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

In a press release McConnell stated his stance on the matter saying, "There are needless risks from this decision, classified information can be inadvertently leaked as it was in the first World Trade Center trial; our cities will face enormous security problems; and our communities will be potential targets for attack."

Despite an overwhelming bipartisan senate vote earlier this year to keep Guantanamo detainees out of the United States, Friday's action opposed the Lieberman-Graham amendment that sought to bar the 9/11 plotters from being brought to the U.S. for civilian trial.
