SCOTUS Offers Terrorists 'O.J. Treatment'

Five members of the US Supreme Court just sided with known terrorists currently detained at Gitmo in Cuba. In doing so, they not only provided “aid and comfort” to enemies of our state, but offered Constitutional Rights written solely to protect the rights of innocent legal US citizens to known terrorists, and placed every American life in mortal danger in that process.

Our silence is our consent. We have been far too tolerant for far too long. We can no longer afford to be silent in our dissent my friends…

Here is the entire text of an email I just fired off to my two US Senators. Might I suggest that you copy and paste it into an email or letter to your senators as well, immediately!

It is unfortunate that most people have no idea how very, very dangerous some of the detainees really are. There are a handful who have had extensive counterintelligence training and contacts in addition to traditional “terrorist” training. Connected, smart intelligence operatives are far, far more dangerous than someone who simply knows how to build and place bombs. Most voters have no idea of the difference or the threat these committed killers represent.

If I remember correctly, I think it was Jefferson who first had to deal with the issue of irregular combatants, (with the Barbary Pirates) despite his deep humanistic idealism. This is one area where the responsibilities of the Executive to protect the people have always deviated from the Judicial.

Religious freedom in prison has allowed many of these prisoners to build themselves up spiritually and mentally. Their comittment and abilities have actually improved in the spartan, focused environment of jail. Releasing them in-mass, with their community intact, is virtually guaranteed to put anti-terror efforts back 10 years and result in lots of dead people.

The most dangerous ones will disappear into Europe for a few years, before revitalizing the financial, recruiting and counterintelligence capabilities of AQ. Then, we will see a different, more virulent form of AQ with an even deeper desire and ability to kill.
