Former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani weighed in on the Obama administration's decision to bring five 9/11 suspects, including self-proclaimed mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, to be tried in civilian court in New York City.

Such a decision is "dangerous" and "unnecessary," he said on Fox News, and warned that it would make the city even more prone to terrorist attacks.

The U.S. has tried terrorists in civilian court before. He claimed that subsequent attacks -- on American embassies in Africa, on the USS Cole, on the World Trade Center and, yes, on Fort Hood last week -- proved such trials don't work.
