Another Obama Flip?
This one about 9/11 plotter and Daniel Pearl murderer, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. It seems the president has had a change of heart about if even to try the guy at all.
"The administration asserts that it can hold Mohammed and other al-Qaeda operatives under the laws of war, a principle that has been upheld by the courts when Guantanamo Bay detainees have challenged their detention."
Isn't that what Bush said when challenged by the left and even some Republicans? Once again, it's a matter of if you're a liberal, you never have to say you're sorry.
I can't say I disagree with the president on this one. Personally, I'd like to see the fat bastard burn in hell after a public execution, maybe even on Pay-Per-View. Imagine the buy-rates to that one.
If they never try this guy and he rots in Guantanamo until the day he croaks is fine with me. I'm sure they've gotten all the information they're going to get out of the guy that they're going to, so really, what's the point in keeping him around? To show how lenient and righteous the American justice system is, or to show how feckless it can be with all it's seemingly gaping loopholes? Especially for those who wish to do America harm.
To re-iterate the last point in the story,
"Regardless of whether this decision to do nothing results from political pusillanimity or a temper tantrum over the rejection of their policy on KSM, the result is both hypocritical and useless. We have military commissions for a reason, and had Obama not interfered in the process that had been repeatedly authorized by Congress, KSM’s case would have been adjudicated long ago. Instead, it appears we are on track for wasting four more years instead of just the past two because we have a Chief Executive who can’t bear to have himself proven wrong."
