these top AQ guys need to be executed before Bush leaves office - because if Hillary or Obama should win - I could see them being let go, "returned" to Pakistan.
GOOD! Now .. when are the hangings!!
Democrats Want Gitmo Prisoners Released on 'Own Recognizance'
Key House Democrats are demanding the Pentagon shut down the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and release the 385 or so remaining terrorist suspects until they can be brought to trial. "It sets us back in the war on terrorism to be maintaining Guantanamo," said Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), who's heading an investigation of the facility for the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. "It will enhance our reputation to close it down and to apply our system of justice to all of these detainees."
Based on observations he conducted during two trips to Guantanamo, Moran said he's recommending Congress cut funding to the detention center. “Holding these men is expensive and unjust,” Moran asserted. “They should be granted bail and allowed to go free until they can be tried in a court of law. Those who cannot afford bail should be released ‘on their own recognizance.’” Accused released “on their own recognizance” sign documents promising not to leave the court’s jurisdiction and to show up for trial.
“Not having to feed, house, and clothe these people will save taxpayers’ money,” Moran said. “Requiring them to stay within the court’s jurisdiction will stimulate the economy by injecting the private sector spending for their upkeep into the U.S. GDP. Let’s say that one or more of these men take the opportunity to plot a terrorist attack, the bomb-making materials will be purchased from U.S. businesses. This will add demand and promote economic growth.”
Moran claims that his plan will help make prosecuting these men easier. “We have to prove they actually did something that was designed to hurt American citizens," Moran said. “By releasing them, yet insisting they stay in America, we will be giving them the opportunity to further incriminate themselves. I call it ‘giving them enough rope to hang themselves.’”
While admitting that releasing these men would seem to pose a risk to the American people, Moran insisted that this could be strategically beneficial. “As Senator Clinton (D-N.Y.) has pointed out, America has lost its ‘victimhood’ status,” Moran said. “Tragic as another attack might be for those killed or injured, it would help the United States regain the sympathy it won on 9-11. The strategic benefits would be incalculable.”
A Bush administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, called Moran’s proposal “pure lunacy.”

And so it begins. Soon news will be filled with the trials ( even though military in nature) and punishments for direct 9-11 actors will be in play.
Many people will think these terrorists have just been caught and will finally start to see that much more progress has been made than their treasured alphabet networks have told them about.
About time! Over four years fretting about these terrorists' rights, they should have been tried and killed years ago...
