Confess now, so they may be pardoned by The One (piss be upon him).

After all, He will side with the Muslims, in His own words.

***With the case suddenly at a critical juncture, President-elect Barack Obama may find it more complicated to carry out his pledge to close the detention camp here.***

How freakin convenient! The treasonous Rats have been bitchin and moaning about how they would shut down the “torture factory” but now because of the system they voted on it's now “complicated” to shut it down.

His very confession of the Islamic 911 plot, “shatters” Obama’s argument that Gitmo is not justified.

These guys (KSM and cronies) have something up their sleeves. This isn’t simple jihad-suicide-lust.

Yes, liberal NYTimes HAD to add the word “alleged” (alleged-plotters).

This isn’t aimed to be a “confession.” They’ll use it as a platform.

Yup: circus trials. It's worked in the past, through orchestration of counsel.  After all, social justice would compel us to save them from themselves, wouldn't it? /sarc

For the first time, the Pentagon arranged for relatives of 9/11 victims to travel to Guantánamo to attend the session. A group of them, who spoke to reporters afterward, said they were struck by the extensive rights accorded the accused men. One of the relatives, Hamilton Peterson, said he was offended by the detainees, who he said were sneering and laughing in the courtroom. “They seemed to view these proceedings as a joke,” Mr. Peterson said.

NO!!!! Commute the sentence from death to life at hard labor with pig noses strapped to their faces and pink, frilly underwear. Use every possible means to keep them alive.
THEY WANT TO DIE a MARTYR! No 72 virgins...72 Bubba’s instead.

The problem with that is Obama might pardon them. Execute them before he has a chance.

I know justice is no longer that swift, so they have a good chance of being pardoned on Obi's last days in office.

But will Obama and the liberals make sure they have TV’s and cushy lawyers and more money and rights to go back into terrorism?

It’s part of the NYT culture of fatuous legalism.

KSM has already confessed, over a year ago. Nothing “alleged” about it.
