Why is this a big deal?

Finally some of the 9/11 plotters are going to face a criminal trial, and some of the right-wing is trowing a hissy fit. WHY?
Most of us can agree these people are accused of a criminal act and therefore should face a trial for it. It is almost like conservatives feel attacks on the U.S are justified, maybe more of them agree with Jerry Falwells comments after 9/11 when he said that the U.S was being punished by god, that we know.
