By all means....let's lock up KSM(Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11) and his terrorist comrades in the relatively posh surroundings of a NYC jail...not that Guantanamo was a 4 by 4 hot box by any stretch of the imagination. The prisoners there probably have better cable than most of us here in America.
That seems appropriate doesn't it for the murderers of 3000 innocent Americans? If their surviving loved ones and fellow citizens were polled for their opinion they would likely respond that being chained in their underwear on a cold concrete floor with the obligatory hole for personal evacuation would still be too luxurious for those fanatical killers!
Accomodating the architects and participants of the deadliest day recorded on this country's soil, is the an unbelievably inhuman affront to the memory of those who perished when the WTC fell. What else would you call allowing these villainous murderers who wish to destroy this nation to have their day in court in the very city they ripped asunder? From the courtroom in New York City, they will have a forum for their Jihadist ravings and extreme ideologies.
But let's make sure these poor little terrorists receive the full constitutional right to a trial by jury and an attorney-in spite of the glaring fact that none of them are American citizens. It's a pathetic statement on our own government that it doesn't seem to matter to the Idiot General over at the Department of Injustice and Political Correctness that the 9/11 victims were trying to exercise their constitutional rights to go to work every day without being blown away!
All is well, however.....The ACLU is foresquare behind Eric Holder. That should take a load off the mind, eh? They have certainly never been politically correct! Executive Director Anthony D. Romero said this about the decision: "The transfer of cases to federal court is a huge victory for restoring due process and the rule of law, as well as repairing America’s international standing, an essential part of ensuring our national security. We can now finally achieve the real and reliable justice that Americans deserve. It would have been an enormous blow to American values if we had tried these defendants in a process riddled with legal problems."
Excuse me...where has Romero been hiding this last year as the government ignored the Constitution at every opportunity? The rule of law indeed.......Obama's administration has done everything but banish those words from being spoken! We do need to get back to the rule of law but we won't be finding it in any American court system if the President and his 'council' have their way.
You insipid morons at the ACLU need to remove your heads from locations' further south' and realize that America's security is not affected by our international standing. Obama's attempt to hand-hold with Iran and North Korea has proven futile and will continue to do so. Our security depends upon our strength-it depends upon our standing up for our nation and its citizens in spite of what other countries may think of us! It is never unethical or unjust to try to preserve at all costs your country and the principles upon which it was founded.
Liberals may hate this, but self-preservation is as natural and necessary to countries as it is to individuals! The selflessness that liberals love to preach about is all well and good but if your eyes are closed to the realities of the world then you are liable to help someone who doensn't have your best interests at heart!
As far as the federal courts providing a more real and reliable justice, the only people who deserve such guarantees are American citizens-whether they be innocent or guilty. The perpetrators of 9/11 deserve nothing under our laws. Our laws were not designed to protect the likes of them. They only deserve the swift judgment of a military tribunal. They did not take down the World Trade Center because they were schizophrenic or simply having a bad day They don't even have the slight but invariably thin defense of Ft. Hood assailant, Maj. Nasan that he was stressed from his job. The evil men who used planes as weapons on that horrific day are at war with us! They are war criminals! No amount of chastizing ourselves on the world stage in an attempt to assuage some misplaced guilt is going to change that fact.
If we do try them in the federal courts of NYC, just a few blocks from Lower Manhattan where the horrors of September 2009 occurred, nothing said or discovered in those proceedings will deter radical Islamic Muslims from continuing their jihad on America. Another thought that Al-Queda might take another opportunity to reek havoc on NYC with an attack on the courthouse is one too frightening to entertain. Eric Holder may discover firsthand the serious ramifications of turning the long-overdue trial of KSM and friends into a political show for the world.
Political correctness is a pandemic as profound in its consequences as a viral influenza. The United States government is dumping the germ of this disease on every situation they can. The lingering effects of the PC illness will weaken our constitutional system to the point of ineffectualness and cripple our liberties. Oh, that there were a vaccine for this awful plague! But maybe there is........if Americans face this deadly disease of political correctness with old fashioned common sense and continually demand that their government officials see its dangers, maybe they can keep this dreadful scourge at bay!
