9/11 victim: U.S. government 'caters' to terror suspects at Gitmo

GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA — A victim in the 9/11 terror attacks spoke out Thursday against what he views as unfairly sympathetic press coverage about conditions for detainees at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.

“We cater to them. In the court of law, they don’t even rise when the judge walks in. I find that disturbing. I don’t believe they recognize our justice system,” said Jim Jenca, who was injured in the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center in New York. “I couldn’t get this kind of defense if I committed a crime. I’d be in an American jail, [and] I wouldn’t have as much due process as these five defendants have.”
