Susan Hirsch, Professor at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University, assesses the importance of Ahmed Ghailani's transfer from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay to New York City to stand trial for his role in the 1998 bombing of the U.S. embassy in Tanzania. Hirsch expresses relief at a return to traditional justice proceedings, both as a victim (her husband was killed in the attack) and as an American citizen. Interview conducted by the Associated Press on June 9th, 2009.
