War On Terror: Eric Holder's move to try the 9/11 masterminds in Manhattan makes it official: This administration has reverted to pre-9/11 "crime" fighting.
Amid all the talk during the attorney general's surreal press conference of the "crime" committed eight years ago, the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon wasn't even mentioned.
Lest anyone forget, the military headquarters of the United States was attacked that day along with the Twin Towers.
An entire wedge of the Ring was gutted when the Saudi hijackers slammed American Airlines Flight 77 into it. Nearly 200 military personnel were killed, along with the passengers and crew of the hijacked jet.
The jet was a weapon used to attack the very center of our military. That was not a "crime," as some say. It was an act of war.
And 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, along with the four other al-Qaida terrorist co-conspirators Holder wants to try, are no mere criminals. They are enemy combatants — and should be treated as such.
Yet this administration has adopted the same crime-centered mentality as the last Democratic administration. The one that treated al-Qaida's first World Trade Center bombing as a "crime." And al-Qaida's attack on the U.S. embassies in Africa as a "crime." And even al-Qaida's attack on the USS Cole as a "crime."
All were prosecuted in U.S. courts. A lot of good that did.

On the other hand we can simply ignore the fact the man exists or that there's even a Congress.
Both New York and Virginia have a grievance against these guys. We should demand custody of them so that we can take care of a national problem the federales are incompetent to handle.
I'm sure incoming Governor McDonnell will be more than happy to dispose of these vermin.
Like all of the other foundations of American capitolism that have been bastardized by these criminals, they want to parade and degrade the American justice system as old, white, racist, and unjust to the world so they may push for a world judicial system controlled by the UN.
We need leaders who will rise to these threats on our nation WHERE ARE YOU?
I realize that. This is why it is important that we take the House back in 2010 and win enough seats in the the Senate to minimize their majority in the senate
Impeach President Obama.
The Dems are still going to be blaming Bush the day they all get out of office.
And, where's that scumbag, Schumer? If Bush had tried to try those terrorists in NYC, Schumer would have had at least 15 press conferences by now and gone to the Senate floor by noon trying to introduce a Federal law that would have prevented a trial in NYC, saying that it was putting Ny'ers at risk and it would be terrible to have them go thru another tragady because of what they suffered on 9/11...bla,,,bla,,,bla....
All the Dems will be on the Sunday talk shows reading from the White House same talking points sheets word-for-word : " IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT".
frigging assholes !!!!!!
Everyday, the NY tabloids will be bashing him. The terrorists will try to bomb the courthouse. There will be violent riots around the trial.
People are going to get so incredibly fed up with the forum that this will give islametards and their "kill Americans" talking points. The lawyers will make everybody want to puke.
It's going to go bad in a million ways for this idiot. And it's going to make the common dopes on the fence realize how sick to death of this appeasement crap they really are.
