Vindicating Guantanamo - WSJ.com: "The Obama Administration did a full spinning reversal with a triple twist yesterday on its plans to prosecute terrorists, announcing that it will now try September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay after all. We were going to applaud the Administration for sticking the national security dismount, but then we saw Attorney General Eric Holder grouse through his press conference and say that he only took this step because Congress made him do it.
'Members of Congress have intervened and imposed restrictions blocking the Administration from bringing any Guantanamo detainees to trial in the United States,' he said yesterday, in spinning twist number one. The Justice Department was prepared to make a 'powerful case against the 9/11 defendants in federal court,' but the politics were causing too many delays on the trial, and it couldn't wait any longer."
This is the man who is protecting us?? Give the terrorists the rights of th every constitution they are trying to destroy and fight against ... ~~ The Munz
