Obama Insults 9/11 Families and Our Troops!

Well it has happened. Islamic terrorist war criminals are going to receive the full American Constitutional rights in a Federal Court (not military or special war crimes tribunal). Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) will be taken from Gitmo to New York City to be tried for what? I haven’t delved into how KSM will be charged so I am guessing he is being prosecuted for multiple homicides. Let’s hope the he is not being prosecuted for conspiracy to commit homicide since KSM was not in any actual homicidal suicide missions that he orchestrated for 9/11. Maybe if KSM is not given a death sentence he can be sentenced to 183 more waterboardings. A sentence to hang out in a Federal Prison with Islamist Chaplains spoon feeding Quranic theo-political garbage is way too good for him.

Brings Terrorist Mastermind to U.S. to Gain More Rights

We can barely control our outrage that Barack Obama has decided to bring the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks on the United States to New York City for a civilian trial where he will get ALL of the rights of American citizens. Four other terrorists are coming with him.

Do you think we should have brought the Nazi war crimes trials to the U.S. so they could have had the full protection of the Bill of Rights? Of course NOT, and it is ridiculous that Obama is now treating these enemy combatants as common criminals.

We have heard from so many of our troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq who are just appalled that this can be happening. We already told you that morale is sagging in Afghanistan as the President refuses the military request for more reinforcements.

It took the horrific attacks of 9/11 for us to realize that we are in a war with Islamic terrorism. This isn’t a case of a criminal gang operating in Chicago. This is a worldwide network that is out to destroy every vestige of freedom we have. It is shocking and appalling that Obama and his left-wing Attorney General, Eric Holder, want to treat these murderous terrorists as common criminals with full constitutional protections.

Help us fight this horrendous decision and keep the terrorists under the jurisdiction of military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay. Please contribute now to this fight:

Last week President Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder, announced his intentions to take up the case of Khalid Sheik Mohammed in federal court in New York City, instead of the military commissions in Guantanamo Bay. Shockingly, this major announcement was made by the Attorney General while the President was dodging responsibility while heading out of town to Asia and practicing his bowing to the Emperor.

Obama’s administration hailed the decision as a triumph, saying these five men will “finally be brought to justice.” As former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said on Sunday, “Obama is soft on terrorism.” He is more concerned about placating liberals and protecting the civil rights of terrorists than he is in protecting American security. It is simply shameful.

Giuliani says Obama is “soft” on terrorism

Al Qaida would love nothing better than a show trial in New York City, where they will milk this for all it is worth. Let us not forget how Adolph Hitler, after the failed 1923 “Beer Hall Putsch” used his trial and subsequent incarceration as a recruiting tool for the Nazi Party in Germany. He wrote “Mein Kampf” while in prison and emerged from that whole ordeal even more powerful than before!

What about the rules of evidence? Our soldiers didn’t read these terrorists their rights when they were picked up in the Middle East. They didn’t dream that they would have to pass a constitutional test with a civilian trial. It is very possible that much of the evidence against these terrorists will not be allowed in federal court. Suppose they are then acquitted? Then what? The Justice Department says that they would never be released into the United States, but they would be deported. Deported? These murderous terrorists should be executed, not deported. Where has good sense gone?

The other big problem is that the defendants in civilian trials are entitled to all of the evidence, which means the terrorists will get to see how American intelligence officials have been able to piece together information on al Qaida. When the blind sheik was tried in New York for the first World Trade Center bombing, he obtained valuable U.S. intelligence. These documents were later found in a safe house raided by the U.S. military. Does it make any sense to allow terrorists to find out our means of tracking them down? This is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

Obama doesn’t seem to be all too worried about it, but Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City Mayor, recalled that after the 1993 bombing of the WTC, the subsequent trial cost “millions and millions of dollars” and he also said “Anyone that tells you this doesn’t create additional security problems isn’t telling you the truth.”

Obama’s decision to bring terrorists to U.S. soil puts American lives at risk by making New York a major target for terrorists again! Make a donation to Move America Forward, and let’s mobilize a national effort to oppose this decision!

Obama does not seem too bothered by the security risks. In fact he seems much more concerned with the welfare an of the terrorists> Why else would he try them in a city crawling with ACLU lawyers, where they will inherit special rights that they would not have if they were being tried in Gitmo?

NY Post Columnist Michael Goldwin says he doesn’t trust Eric Holder,

“We already know about Holder's fishy sense of justice. He OK'd the pardon of fugitive Marc Rich, is now investigating CIA agents who played hardball with terrorists, and wants to give those bloodthirsty maniacs rights they don't deserve.”

Obama and Holder are steering this country towards a strategy of appeasement, which we know will NEVER work. It’s pre-9/11 mentality; it’s the same kind of backwards thinking that led this nation down the path of vulnerability that resulted in 9/11 in the first place.

Make a donation now and put MAF on the warpath to stop Obama from allowing this trial to be brought to New York!
