*New York is the right place for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s trial.*
9/11 is imprinted on New York’s consciousness. As the place where the
spectacular attacks on the world trade centre took place it can be seen as
both the best and the worst place to hold Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s trial. It
has huge symbolic meaning, but there is less chance of a fair trial in a
city that has lost so many people in the attacks. There may have been
dislike at the possibility of a military trial but such a trial would be
less likely to be swayed by public opinion and the inevitable media blitz.
So is New York the right place?

Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without
such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of
Brahman. They who work selfishly for results are miserable. --"Bhagavad
Gita."
