Terror Threat?

Attorney General Holder announced yesterday that the Guantanamo terrorists' trial will take place "in New York [he paused briefly and then repeated] New York". Am trying to figure out whether that repetition means he thinks we're all too dense or too slow to twig to his allusion to 9/11, or whether he's just doing a Bush-like "bring 'em on" to show the world we're not afraid of any possible retaliatory consequences.
