What could go wrong?
For years, the Bush administration opposed trying terrorists in civilian courts. They said that liberal judges could create havoc with these trials and turn them into farces.
The left said, the terrorists could be tried in civilian courts. What could go wrong?
Well, today, we just found out.
The government was ready to try terrorist Ahmed Ghallani for his role in the 1998 African Embassy bombings. Suddenly, on the morning the trial was supposed to begin, Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that the government could not use its star witness against Ghallani.
Ghallani was on the receiving end of “enhanced interrogation techniques.” In other words, he was water boarded. Good for him. I doubt the 224 people killed in those attack or their families would really care whether this terrorist received “enhanced interrogation.”
Judge Kaplan is… wait for it. Drum roll please. Judge Kaplan is a Clinton appointee. I know that comes as a shock to everyone that a liberal president would appoint a liberal judge. And when a liberal judge has the chance to hurt America, guess what. He does not hesitate.
The dumbest lawyer in America, Attorney General Eric Holder said he remains confident terrorists can be prosecuted in civilian courts. As Dr. Phil would say, how’s that working out for you?
Since the first terrorists were captured after 9/11 and put in Guantanamo, liberal lawyers have lined up to help the terrorists. Their help has not simply been limited to trying to make sure they got a “fair trial,” but to help them identify (and endanger) CIA operatives, expose classified information that helps the enemy and generally give aid and comfort to those who want to attack America.
Ghallani is not an American citizen. He does not deserve the protections of the United States Constitution. He deserves to rot in a cell some where for the rest of his miserable life. But, if the liberals have their way that will never happen.
The media reported that when Judge Kaplan announced his decision, Ghallani smiled.
I bet he did.

I've long ago stopped being shocked by the traitors. Let's just get them out of power.

Every Democrat now sitting in Congress should be removed - through election or impeachment . They are the party of the STATE - to be achieved through taxes, spending on institutions of control over peoples' lives, and finally the destruction of the constitution. Any like minded individual should never be voted into office.

The judge in the case, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, said that even if he is found not guilty he will likely remain in detention.
"His status as an 'enemy combatant' probably would permit his detention as something akin to a prisoner of war until hostilities between the United States and al-Qaeda and the Taliban end even if he were found not guilty in this case," he wrote in his decision.
All accused have a right to a fair trial. Its Un American to suggest otherwise.

Another liberal troll visiting us. He is not an american citizen. He should be tried in a military tribunal, not in a civilian court. And of course, you are unamerican for calling someone unamerican for expressing an opinion.

Everyone has a right to face his accusers, any country, any where. Its a human right. It s inhumane to suggest otherwise.
I prefer to treat these prisoners as criminals.

Terrorists are not criminals. They are also not American citizens. At least this one is not. Give him his tribunal, then shoot him.

Fighting in a war for your country is a legitimate action, but acts of terrorism are crimes. Dont legitimize these islamic nuts as warriors for a cause. Modern warfare is conducted against the armed forces of nations not the citizen population.
They killed innocent civilians.
They are criminals.

What did I say that is not conservative?
Is there an official party line now?
You are not defending conservative values
but just against anything this administration does.
You want the terrorist to go free when the war is over, exchange prisoners and start nation building??
