One more abomination by Obamanation! Why are these creatures giving the Muslim terrorists who have admitted being guilty of the 9/11 attacks being given the status of American citizens and being tried for their crimes in civilian courts? The following article has a very plausible answer to this question.
Holder’s Hidden Agenda, cont’d . . . [Andy McCarthy]
This summer, I theorized that Attorney General Eric Holder — and his boss — had a hidden agenda in ordering a re-investigation of the CIA for six-year-old alleged interrogation excesses that had already been scrutinized by non-partisan DOJ prosecutors who had found no basis for prosecution. The continuing investigations of Bush-era counterterrorism policies (i.e., the policies that kept us safe from more domestic terror attacks), coupled with the Holder Justice Department’s obsession to disclose classified national-defense information from that period, enable Holder to give the hard Left the “reckoning” that he and Obama promised during the 2008 campaign. It would be too politically explosive for Obama/Holder to do the dirty work of charging Bush administration officials; but as new revelations from investigations and declassifications are churned out, Leftist lawyers use them to urge European and international tribunals to bring “torture” and “war crimes” indictments. Thus, administration cooperation gives Obama’s base the reckoning it demands but Obama gets to deny responsibility for any actual prosecutions.
Today’s announcement that KSM and other top al-Qaeda terrorists will be transferred to Manhattan federal court for civilian trials neatly fits this hidden agenda. Nothing results in more disclosures of government intelligence than civilian trials. They are a banquet of information, not just at the discovery stage but in the trial process itself, where witnesses — intelligence sources — must expose themselves and their secrets.
If these Muslim terrorist thugs were given the military war crimes trial as is appropriate our entire national defense security system would not be destroyed. With the information that will be released in a civilian trial the United States will be open to more and greater terrorist attacks from President Obama’s friends and brothers.
Remember the bow to a Muslim iman? The state dinner for Muslims in the White House? The apologies for America’s ignorance? The ditching of the United State’s only allie in the Middle East Israel? And our President declaring to the world that “the United States is a Muslim Nation”? The cut in military spending and the liberals call for up to $150 billion more? Obama’s dithering on sending more troops to Afghanistan as the generals have re1quested while American troops continue to die and morale is at an all time low? The crass and insulting five minutes of “shout outs” and other high fiving before announcing in an off hand way that 13 soldiers had been killed and 30 other wounded at Fort Hood? Remember his never once calling the killings at Fort Hood what they actually are: a massacre by a Muslim jihadist killer who had been taught by the Islam holy book the Koran that killing non-Muslims would insure him a place in paradise? Remember how President Obama will not call a spade a spade and neither will the main stream media?
I believe all the evidence one needs to prove where our President’s loyalty is has been presented. All he has to do now is cause the total dismemberment of our Central Intelligence Agency and the outing of those loyal Americans who have and are placing their lives on the line to infiltrate and learn of terrorist plots before they happen and thus keeping Americans safe.
A civilian trial for these Islamic killers whether they are found guilty or not simply won’t matter because either way Obamanation will have fulfilled it’s agenda and still managed to fool the fools into believing their hands are clean. BB

When the Clinton administration prosecuted the blind cleric, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, and nine co-defendants in federal court in New York for their roles in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, much less was known about al-Qaeda and the risks of using ordinary criminal process for terror suspects. Part of the legacy of that trial was the disclosure of information to the lawyers for the defendants that wound up promptly in the hands of al-Qaeda members who eventually would plan and execute the next attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The information, which revealed some of what our government knew about international terrorism and how we knew it, helped shield some of the terror enterprise’s deadly planning from those trying earnestly to monitor and stop terrorism. No one will ever know how to apportion responsibility, but there should be no doubt that this was one of many contributing factors to the loss of nearly 3,000 innocent lives in the horrific attacks of 9/11.

In the string of amazing decisions made during the first year of the Obama administration, nothing seems more like sheer insanity than the decision to try foreign terrorists, who have committed acts of war against the United States, in federal court, as if they were American citizens accused of crimes.
Terrorists are not even entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention, much less the Constitution of the United States. Terrorists have never observed, nor even claimed to have observed, the Geneva Convention, nor are they among those covered by it.
Statement by Former Attorney General Ed Meese on New York Terror Trials » The Foundry
Congress overwhelmingly reaffirmed their commitment to military commissions in 2006, which have historically been the way that we respond to acts of war. To abandon our two centuries of tradition and to substitute some new civilian procedure as a response to such attacks endangers the security of our country and our national interest.
It was a tragic mistake to decide to abandon the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay, which was designed physically and legally to handle these types of cases. It is a further tragic mistake to now bring the detained war combatants into the United States and to employ civilian criminal procedures which were never intended for this type of situation.
The U.S. Constitution protects American citizens and visitors from the moment they are suspected of criminal wrongdoing through a potential trial. These same protections are not, have never, and should not be granted to enemy combatants in war, since it is clear that regardless of the outcome of the trial, these detainees will likely remain in the custody of the United States.”
