They've Got Cars Big As Bars

The only thing I could find today to write about was the extremely interesting story that the 9/11 self described "Mastermind." He is gonna be trialed in New York. A court announced on friday that Khalid Shaik Mohamed was going to be put on trial in the city.
I know this is a serious serious subject, and I do not wish to make light of it, but the only thing I could think of when I heard of this was Batman: The Dark Knight.
You know the part where, they have to clear all the roads to get Harvey Dent to the prison, and have to clear all the roads, etc.
Well Harvey Dent was only a fake Vigilante, This guy has said he masterminded the unnecessary slaughter of thousands of people. Imagine the Police Escort they would need to get him to the court room?
I wonder if this man is even worth it, however The European Convention on Human Rights tells us: "Innocent until Proven Guilty"
So then I think If this man is Guilty, The road blocks will be worse on the way out. If what this man has admitted is true, this means that for the second time, this man will have brought New York City to a standstill.
Although I think an american prison will be a much better place for him than anywhere else, even if i doubt he will spend all that much time there, as Eric Holder, The US attorney General, is said to be pushing for the death penalty.
Him and four other people accused of being co-conspirators are to be tried just a few blocks from the felled world trade centre. I wonder if they'll pass it.
If they will hang their head, or pause for a minute. Or maybe they'll smirk, look what we did guys??
I remember the day I heard about the 9/11 attack. I hadnt heard anything during the day when my stepdad came home and put the news on. After watching long enough to determine what had happened, I couldn't watch any longer. I went out to my Back Garden and cried for people I didnt know.
So thats my news report today,

MY DAY:

Woke up at 10:45 and got clothes out of washing machine, (am going home tomorrow).
Went to Library, to help Craig start a Blog.
Found awesome website, which I have nearly finished applying for! It is called the university of dreams, and it offers work placements in the city you want it to be in, in the industry which you wish for it to be.
1st Choice: Journalism in Manhattan
2nd Choice: Publishing in Manhattan
Then me and Rhian, attempted to do the prep work for the seminar, which we gave up on, and then made Craig paranoid by having "secret" conversation over facebook!
Then we had seminar, which was boring except for v. funny seminar teacher.
Ooh!
nearly forgot, went out last night with Craig, Ella, Hannah and Jenny. Was good, got a bit drunk hahaha. Dropped my phone on Hannahs foot! SORRY!
Haha watching Matt and his "cool"friends with the beer bong.
Craig wussing out at half 9 - not really he had to go do something, although he was drinking booze when he shouldn't!! TUT TUT TUT!
And Jenny tipped Vimto all over my Skirt!!!! :P was good celebration

Am going home early tomorrow!!! gotta get up v. early, probably earliest I have ventured from bed since my arrival in this beautiful city :D
Tomorrow!
