Najibullah Zazi
The Associated Press and Newsday are asking a federal judge to make public a plea agreement between prosecutors and a man who says he was plotting to attack New York subways.
The news organizations argued in court papers that the public has a right to see the documents unless there’s an overriding reason to seal them.
Najibullah Zazi pled guilty earlier this week to terrorism charges and admitted plotting to bomb the New York City subways.

The news organizations are correct. This is no longer a military trial. If we are going to hold terrorism trials in the American courts, the public has the right to know. America is still a democracy. I am curious which Global Treaty might be used to try to undermine this fact.
