Our tax dollars should be used to defeat terrorist, not defend them… Senator elect Scott Brown
The teleprompter president was a competent community organizer but the job of president is way above his pay grade. Everything Obama touches reeks of disaster, from the clowns he has appointed to team Obama, to the economy to national security. This can not be better demonstrated than team Obama’s imbecilic decision to prosecute Khalid Sheik Mohammad (KSM) and four other terrorist in civil court in New York City. What could prompt such an idiotic move?
Let’s forget for a minute that these terrorist were already being prosecuted in military tribunals, had pled guilty and KSM requested martyrdom by execution. Forget that when KSM was captured in Pakistan he demanded an attorney and to be taken to New York City. Compound the stupidity by Attorney General Eric Holder claiming that he consulted with his wife and brother and not his bungling messiah. Doesn’t that just exude confidence? Team Obama and liberals continue to attempt to justify this idiocy.
One claim is the U.S. is a country of laws and prosecution of the terrorist should follow the Geneva Convention and U.S. Constitution. This is so bogus it’s laughable. The terrorist are not signers of the Geneva Convention and are not subject to its terms. Foreign Islamic terrorist captured on the battlefield are not American citizens and not afforded protections of the U.S. Constitution.
Holder and Obama the claim a public trial will repair or improve the international reputation of the U.S., especially with Muslim nations. The claim of the truly ignorant! The nations that don’t like the U.S. will not change because of some phony show trial. Consider that during Senate hearings a few senators pointed out how the rules of evidence and procedure in civil criminal trials, and the capricious nature of juries could result in acquittals. Holder’s response was that failure is not an option and even if acquitted the terrorist would not be released. That’s incredible! Right out of the annals of dictatorial regimes Holder and Obama announced the outcome. Just like with the participants in the “Valkrie” plot, terrorist will be tried, convicted and punished; but not before KSM and the other terrorist make a three ringed spectacle of the trial allowing the world to see through this charade. Typical liberal brilliance!
Think not? Terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz’s attorney has announced they will not deny their role but “would explain why they did it.” Or take Team Obama’s move of the trial of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, of 1998 US Embassy bombings fame, from military tribunals to the U.S. District Court. His civilian attorneys have filed motions seeking to dismiss charges for lack of a speedy trial. A liberal activist judge could dismiss the charges on technicalities. Will team Obama refuse to release him from custody creating more Habeas Corpus motions and millions more dollars for defense lawyers?
Another Holder and team Obama screw up was the move of the jurisdiction of the Christmas Day Bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, from military jurisdiction to the civil criminal justice systems hours after he was taken into custody. Instead of interrogating him to gather information about the new terrorist networks in Yemen, they gave him his Miranda rights and he “lawyered up”; thus preventing the gathering of valuable intelligence that will protect American lives.
Of course the man-boy claims this not his fault. Team Obama blame President Bush for not prosecuting the terrorist. But the inconvenient truth is an army of trial attorneys, including Holder’s law firm, filed endless motions and other delaying tactics to block prosecutions and make it impossible to put the terrorist on trial.
In fact, team Obama’s and his liberal enablers attempted justifications and rationalization for public trials in civil courts is just deflection. They continue to steer the debate away from what I believe is the real reason for civil trials. It’s about money. Defense lawyers will charge the taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars to defend foreign enemy combatants in civil courts. Not only is it unconstitutional and foolish, it is more of Obama’s Chicago style corruption. The trial lawyers contributed millions to Obama and liberal democrats and expect quid pro quo. This is pay back. Also, Holder was a senior partner for Covington & Burling law firm and was instrumental in legal defense work for many terrorist at Guantanamo. Does the term conflict of interest seem appropriate here?
The U.S. Constitution, Art. III, defines treason as… adhering to our enemies or giving them aid or comfort. Is Obama and Holder committing treason or just “acting stupidly”? Is Obama and Holder selling out our national security for the benefit of their trial lawyer sponsors, or are they just inept and clueless?
