Holder moves trials of 9-11 suspects to New York

typical of the democrat party as it is currently led. Terrorism is a law enforcement issue and terrorists are somehow magically imbued with Constitutional protections.

Yeah, makes perfect sense. :crazy:

Let's return to the policy of treating acts of terrorism against our nation as law enforcement issues, the very policy which so intimidated AlQuaeda that they dreamed up the 9/11 attack.

That'll show 'em! :whistling:

Holder is probably the biggest disgrace in this admininstration, besides Obama himself.

I'm seeing a growing chance that these guys walk. Lot's of evidence will be insubmissable. There will be charges of prosecutorial misconduct while at Gitmo.

I just don't see the upside of this move - the military tribunals are constitutional.

Well, Obama's approval numbers dropped slightly when he announced back in March that he was going to just let everybody in Gitmo walk, so instead, he's going to release them via the justice system. Ain't life grand in the good ol' USS of A?

Massive fail. Anyone wondering how much this trial will cost. Think the Tim Mcvey defense cost you and I about 8 or so million. What a mally falfin waste.

Maybe because it is in NYC they won't get the fair trial they aren't entitled to.

There are so many problems with it isn't funny. How anyone, much less an administration could come to the conclusion this would be in America's best interest is beyond me.

I am beginning to believe this is less about justice for 9/11 families/punishment for those responsible, and more about trying to embarrass the previous administration and put them on trial.

This is definitely an element. Maybe embarrass isn't the right word but they do want to expose the previous admin tactics. Both the terrorists and the previous regime will be on trial.

I disagree with this. I just think that what the administration sees as being in the country's best interest is radically different from what many Americans see as the country's best interest.

For example, I bet this administration honestly believes that almost any policy that could elevate the opinion of America abroad is a good move for America. However, I would also wager that many could care less about America's image abroad, within reason.

agree. same with exposing the previous admin. I'm sure Holder & Co. think it's good for us to put ourselves on trial and to continually go after the CIA. Of course I disagree.

We're definitely seeing world opinion (especially the ME) being placed well ahead of what's best for America and Americans.

That is my point. This administration does not care what most Americans think. It is very sad that BHO thinks that he has to apologize to the world.

I really think this is their "Olive Branch" to the rest of the world and the peace nicks in this country to make up for the attrocities Bush had commited by having "Gitmo" and the Tribunals. VB is right... due to the nature of this whole deal, these guys probably will walk (especially if the ACLU steps up to be their defenders) due to the evidence and how it works in an actual court of law.

So two things at play here in my eyes: 1. The Dems really do see all of this as a law enforcement issue and not a military one. and 2. Having the rest of the world think highly of us is so important to this camp that letting 4 terrorists go who are just criminals in their eyes anyway, is but a small price to pay to gain back world credibility.

I'm really not trying to be crass... That's just how I see it.

I read your point to say "the best interest of America" not the "interests/opinions of America." I think the administration believes they are doing what is best for the country. Their approach could be dead wrong, but I don't think they do it to cause harm to America.

It will be a ridiculous shame if the CIA's efforts are dragged into civilian courts. They need to back off that dog, IMO. Also, going after Bush does nothing at this point. Are all politicians 3 year-olds?

I disagree. I believe that this administration is doing what they think is best for them to stay in power. Damn the "best interest" of this country.

That's essentially the problem. We have a "representative" government, we are not little children that need a "wiser" government deciding what's best for us.

Maybe some need to realize that it's high time that we reminded our elected officials that it is "government of the people, by the people and for the people" by voting these arrogant nannies out.

You are corrrect, people are starting to figure that out. But it is about appeasement to the muslim countries, and saying that these terrorist criminals, can be tried under the rights that free Americans are, no matter what they did.

Its a sick, slap in the face to any one that was connected to 9/11. And most of them are sounding off about it. But who really cares about them.
