AG on 9/11 Trial Plan: We Need Not Cower in the Face of This Enemy

Look at who this man worked for before Obama brought him into the fold. Covington and Burling who represented and still represents Gitmo detainees.

It will take years to accomplish,cost millions of dollars,perhaps embarrass our intelligence community,take a chance that terrorists around the world will attempt to disrupt proceedings by bombing N.Y. again,and of course on a positive note make George Bush look like a meanie because he roughed up a bunch of throat slashing,throwbacks in dirty night shirts that mean to destroy ANYBODY that does not think like them. I hope this zoo goes horribly wrong and those responsible go on trial in front of a military court and their back ends get sent to Gitmo to live with their friends.

....unless you're a Republican regurgitating the latest talking points.

Ex parte Quirin, 317 U.S. 1 (1942), is a Supreme Court of the United States case that upheld the jurisdiction of a United States military tribunal over the trial of several Operation Pastorius German saboteurs in the United States. Quirin has been cited as a precedent for the trial by military commission of any unlawful combatant against the United States. It was argued July 29 and July 30, 1942 and decided July 31, 1942 with an extended opinion filed October 29, 1942. This decision states: “ …the law of war draws a distinction between the armed forces and the peaceful populations of belligerent nations and also between those who are lawful and unlawful combatants. Lawful combatants are subject to capture and detention as prisoners of war by opposing military forces. Unlawful combatants are likewise subject to capture and detention, but in addition they are subject to trial and punishment by military tribunals for acts which render their belligerency unlawful. The spy who secretly and without uniform passes the military lines of a belligerent in time of war, seeking to gather military information and communicate it to the enemy, or an enemy combatant who without uniform comes secretly through the lines for the purpose of waging war by destruction of life or property, are familiar examples of belligerents who are generally deemed not to be entitled to the status of prisoners of war, but to be offenders against the law of war subject to trial and punishment by military tribunals. ” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_parte_Quirin

He was asked about the mirandizing problem and said he'd have to look into it? What prosecutor takes a case to court without making sure of something so simple? All his non-answers prove that he has no intention to really prosecute KSM et al.; his real intention is to prosecute the Bush Administration and the CIA agents who actually protected us during that time instead of leaking secrets to the press!

I went on http://www.recovery.gov/transparency/pages/home.aspx?State=WA to look at jobs created (or saved .. sic) and noticed most created 0 jobs for millions of grant money. A beauty was Bellevue Community college which managed to create 24 jobs for about $34000 ... Just looking at where the money is going (government etc) and the ridiculous ratios of money to jobs ,,, is a good basis of a program for you ,,,,

Holder: ....awkward pause...."Uhhh uhhh uhhh ehhh ehhh." YOU DUMMY!!! WHAT ARE THE RULES NOW, Eric?. What the deuce did you learn at Columbia Law? And what line do the present and future captured terrorists queue up in now???? And what are we supposed to do now when one of these monsters gets zip-tied on the battlefield by our forces and sits on their knees surrounded by their rpgs, AK-47s, components for IEDs, and Islamist propaganda leaflets before we haul them off to what....YOU and OBAMA's Magical Apology Mystery Tour???? Come prepared to counter your opponent or prepared for your opponent to trump (other verb would be more appropriate) you while you grab your ankles and stroke yourself in your belief that you hold some academic moral high ground. If you can't counter the arguments of a political opponent in your own country, how can you and your minions counter the defense attorneys of KSM et al and hope to win? Sorry, Holder. There are plenty of lawyers who suckle just a bit harder at the Progressive teet that will destroy you in court and either KSM will walk or the rules will be changed....again. Either way you, me, and above all the American people will lose.

Jake, you should splice him saying "We should not cower in the face of this enemy" with the hamster people of Vergon France.

WE Need Not Cower... But We Are a Nation of Whiners.

Contrast the "pacifismkills" posting with "drool." One had research and the other one had nothing but a slogan. This is the main difference between liberals and conservatives.
