Tough-guy John Bolton, hiding under his bed

Glenn Greenwald writes Tough-guy John Bolton, hiding under his bed.

"John Bolton and his comrades love to run around accusing anyone who doesn't want to wage more wars of being an 'appeaser' and 'surrendering' to Terrorists, but Bolton's cry here is the ultimate, definitive surrender:  I'm too scared of the Terrorists to go about my normal life.  I'm too petrified even to have my family in the same city as a terrorist trial.  We can't adhere to our normal political system because the Terrorists will kill us all."

"All over the world, countries have put terrorists on trial in their largest and most important cities -- London, Madrid, Mumbai, Denpasar (the capital of Bali)."

I really don't understand why people should be afraid of having a trial in NYC, they have them all the time. They've tried terrorists there before. Yes I know this is just the GOP talking point of the moment, but why is anyone buying this one? What do they think the terrorists will do? Bomb a court house? Ok, is that worse than 9/11? Nuke the city during the trial? They already think that (and it's not going to happen). And remember it took al Qaeda years to plan 9/11 (and their attempts failed until they got the help of German terrorists).
