Detainees Say They Planned Sept. 11
NY Times ^ | March 9, 2009 | WILLIAM GLABERSON

Posted on 03/09/2009 7:56:02 PM PDT by Sergeant Tim

The five detainees at Guantánamo Bay charged with planning the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have filed a document with the military commission at the United States naval base there expressing pride at their accomplishment and accepting full responsibility for the killing of nearly 3,000 people.

...

In their filing, the men describe the planning of the Sept. 11 attacks and the killing of Americans as a model of Islamic action, and say the American government’s accusations cause them no shame, according to the excerpts read by the government official.

“To us,” the official continued reading, “they are not accusations. To us they are a badge of honor, which we carry with honor.”

Execute them!

And then toss their bodies into a pit of swine.

When do we get to shove this up the ass of the BDS folks on the left who say 9-11 was an inside job?

(Meanwhile ignoring the culpability of certain Congresscritters in contributing to the present economic crisis...)

Cheers!

IMO...
The five detainees at Guantánamo Bay realize how good they have it at Gitmo. When Gitmo goes, so do they to less accommodating facilities.

Marinate them in pig blood first, and then execute them. That way they lose the honor they think they have.

The government of the United States had complete freedom of action with regard to these individuals from 2001-2007.

If they survived that, they will certainly survive Obama.

That's not the point. Under the Bush administration these individuals were kept locked up. Obama, on the other hand, has promised to close Guantanamo and give these terrorists their day in court. There's a decent chance these individuals will end up free. Bush takes some criticism but he did keep the USA safe from terrorist attacks after 9/11 and through his last day in office.

I doubt they’d survive one day in general population. Maybe two hours?

WHEN are we going to off these MFs???

Could we just fly them home to Saudi Arabia - and release them from about 30,000 feet?

My sentiments exactly.
Alternately, use them for dog food.
