“We don't give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give 'em plenty of publicity.” Will Rogers

On Friday of the 43rd week of our 44th President’s Administration Senior Obama political hack and US Attorney General, Eric Holder, made a remarkable but predictable announcement on behalf of our Bower to Foreign Monarchs-in-Chief. To the utter delight of the ACLU; the blame America first crowd; Usama Bin Laden; the liberal media elite; and boneheaded so called progressives in Congress and absolute outrage of 90% plus of the family members of 9/11 victims; New York City first responders; 2/3rds of We the People; and any fellow citizen with half a brain and a lick of sense our Nation’s AG proclaimed openly and without shame that the 5 principal conspirators responsible for the cowardly terrorist attacks on 9/11 would be tried as common criminals in a US Federal Courthouse in downtown Manhattan.

Holding court for these 5 self proclaimed enemy combatants Islamic Jihadist, so called Holy Warriors, in our civil Criminal Justice system grants these murderous barbarians the same rights and protections usually reserved for us taxpayers. Giving fanatic Islamic religious zealots who committed the most deadly act of war on American soil since Pearl Harbor the same legal standing as some lowlife who knocked off the corner liquor store or a no count white trash yahoo that stole his neighbors goat is not only stupid but absolutely absurd.

We can say a lot of things about the “Yes we can break the national bank, keep our real agenda hidden, and keep the folks in the dark as long as we damn well please” gang including they’re:

1. Arrogant – They know best, just ask them
2. Elitist – As the day is long
3. Liars- Only when their lips are moving
4. Political hacks – No doubt about it
5. Secular progressives – As God as our witness
6. Liberal leftwing extremist – Got that right
7. Endless campaigners – 2,4,6,8, We want a Socialist Nanny State
8. Socialist – Unabashed true believers
9. Communist – If not yet listing badly in that direction
10. Stupid – Not a chance, and that’s what makes this bunch so dangerous and this seemingly boneheaded decision so disconcerting.

One would think bringing these cowardly fanatics to justice would be the President’s and AG Holder’s first priority. Sadly, SOP for this group is to divert and deceive, while they push a hidden agenda that usually can’t pass the “the Sunshine Test” when exposed to the public.

AG/Political hack Holder’s justification for the decision to hold these trials in Federal Court as opposed to a Military Commission includes his opinion that the 9/11 attack was both a crime and an act of war. Secondly, he stated without any hint of a smile, the chances for a successful prosecution/conviction are much greater in Federal Court.

With all due respect to Senior Political hack Holder – that dog just won’t hunt; we may have been born at night, but it wasn’t last night; and that’s the biggest load of camel dung we’ve heard since the President’s last speech on Socialized Medicine.

As for 9/11 being a crime a quick review of the history of American jurist prudence reveals not even one previous offense that could be considered comparable in magnitude, loss of life, destruction, or financial devastation. Serial killers and mass murderers Gary Ridgway; The Green River Killer, Albert Fish; and Coral Eugene Watts don’t even come within shouting distance. All 3 thought to have killed around 100 folks are a far cry from the 3,000 massacred on 9/11.

The 5 defendants terrorist credentials and participation in a paramilitary groups the likes of al Qaeda don’t exactly seem to have a lot in common with the carjackers, drug dealers and gang bangers currently clogging up our criminal justice system either. Following is a brief description of their charges and terrorist activities as compiled by Fox News:

· Khalid Sheikh Mohammad admitted to interrogators that he thought up the attacks -- he allegedly proposed the concept to Usama bin Laden as early as 1996, obtained funding for the attacks from bin Laden, oversaw the operation and trained the hijackers in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
· Bin Attash, a Yemeni, allegedly ran an Al Qaeda training camp in Logar, Afghanistan, where two of the 19 hijackers were trained. Bin Attash is believed to have been bin Laden's bodyguard. Authorities say bin Laden selected him as a hijacker, but he was prevented from participating when he was briefly detained in Yemen in early 2001.
· Binalshibh, a Yemeni, allegedly helped find flight schools for the hijackers, helped them enter the United States and assisted with financing the operation. He allegedly was selected to be a hijacker and made a "martyr video" in preparation for the operation, but was unable to get a U.S. visa. He also is believed to be a lead operative for a foiled plot to crash aircraft into London's Heathrow Airport.
· Ali allegedly helped nine of the hijackers travel to the United States and sent them $120,000 for expenses and flight training. He is believed to have served as a key lieutenant to Mohammed in Pakistan. He was born in Pakistan and raised in Kuwait.
· Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi, a Saudi, allegedly helped the hijackers with money, western clothing, traveler's checks and credit cards. Al-Hawsawi testified in the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, saying he had seen Moussaoui at an al-Qaida guesthouse in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in early 2001, but was never introduced to him or conducted operations with him

Political hack Holder’s ludicrous claim his chances for a conviction are almost guaranteed in Federal Court also demands further scrutiny. Actually, 2 letters sums up the risk of a civil trial – can anybody say OJ!!!

All it takes is 1 Islamic Jihadist sympathizer slipping through the jury selection process, a cranky activist judge having a bad year or some deft legal maneuvering by a smart ass ACLU lawyer resulting in Omar walking because of an obscure technicality. An acquittal for any of these madmen probably doesn’t mean they’ll walk, as we do have other legal means to keep Akbar and his merry band of rug makers in custody, but it will hand the enemy a victory that could have been easily averted with some badly needed Presidential leadership.

Only problem, our Terrorist Appeaser-in-Chief and his senior Political hack AG Holder, don’t give a happy by damn about KSM and his 4 terrorist cohorts. Their one and only purpose for arranging this show trial in the media capital of the world is to embarrass W and hopefully trump up some criminal charges against a few Bushys for future prosecution.

This entire charade is nothing more than another pathetic attempt by the Obama White House to criminalize the policies of the W Administration. A tactic frequently employed by corrupt Democrat Chicago politicians and third world banana republic Despots.

President Obama’s decision to conduct trials in Federal Court in New York for the 5 Islamic Jihadist enemy combatants 9/ 11 conspirators is unforgivable. His willingness to place politics ahead of national security; expose millions of New Yorkers to increased risk of terrorist attacks; and granting cowardly Muslim terrorist the same legal standing as US citizens is unprecedented and in direct conflict with the Oath of Office he swore to uphold 43 short weeks ago.

Mr. President, it’s high time for you to get over your bad case of the W Paranoid Schizophrenia; focus your full and undivided attention on prosecuting our global war on terrorism; stop the dithering over the Afghanistan policy; and put an immediate halt to granting Islamic Jihadist cowards the same legal standing as United States citizens.
