The 9/11 Terrorists

In a military court on December 2008, the 9/11 terrorists admitted committing the crimes charged, bragged about the attacks and proclaimed that they wore the government's charges like a "badge of honor." Congress authorized the military court in 2006. In January 2009, newly sworn-in President Obama acted swiftly to suspend the military trial at Gitmo before that court could pronounce sentence on the admittedly guilty jihadists.

AG Holder tried to make the case that he chose a civilian New York trial as a more likely venue for securing a conviction. This is absurd! By the time Obama came to office, KSM was ready to go before a military commission, plead guilty and be executed. It’s Obama who blocked a process that would have yielded the swiftest and most certain justice.

The president has done more damage in ten months to the CIA’s ability to defend our people than any scheming terrorist could hope to accomplish. Obama’s Justice Department has been said to have “declared war” on the CIA for no apparent reason.
