Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Afforded American Rights For Killing Americans

Elitist progressive Barack Hussein Obama and Eric Holder are bowing to political correctness and their liberal left base by trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other terrorists in New York City.  They are at the same time putting the people of New York City at jeopardy.  The big bulls-eye is New York City.

Why isn’t Khalid Sheikh Mohammed being tried at a secure military base?  Millions of dollars were spent at Gitmo making secure holding areas and courtrooms.  These men are terrorists.  They should be tried in military tribunals not in an American federal court.

Obama can believe the twin towers were man-made disasters if he wants.  His speeches overseas blame America and our arrogance for what has happened.  Obama will not call any Muslim or Muslim action terrorism.

Is the admissible evidence against Mohammed damning enough to secure a conviction?  The evidentiary requirements protecting an American citizen on trial are far stricter than those which would apply to an enemy combatant before a military tribunal.  We already watched how the twentieth hijacker, Zacarias Moussaoui escaped the death penalty because the evidence the government could use against him in a civilian criminal court was limited by his civil liberties.  As a result, the data from his computer, which had not been seized pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, could not be entered into evidence against him.  Failing such evidence, the feds had to settle for a life sentence.

Much of the evidence against Mohammed was gathered through interrogations before which he may not have been read his Miranda rights and during which he may have been water-boarded, one wonders how much of his statement that he was the mastermind of 9-11 is going to be admissible.  It could be that he will use the very constitution of the very government he seeks to destroy to protect himself from the death penalty or even life in prison.

The decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a civilian court also confronts the Department of Justice with a difficult decision on how much of the evidence against Mohammed should be aired publicly.  Our anti-terror investigations depend on secrecy and the FBI and Homeland Security agents may not relish having their methods publicized in open court.  There is even the possibility that there will be a global backlash in favor of Mohammed as his defense lawyer - paid for by the American taxpayer - will make him appear to be the victim of over-zealous investigators and prosecutors rather than the perpetrator of one of the greatest mass murders in history.

Obama is affording the terrorists exactly what they wanted in the first place a global stage right near New York's theater district.  The very goal of terrorism is to attract world-wide attention and, by trying Mohammed in a civilian court in the middle of New York City, Obama is giving them the stage they want on which to articulate their perceived grievances.

What will happen if Mohammed and/or his confederates are found to be not guilty?  Where will they be released?  Will they walk out of the courtroom free to prowl the streets of New York, their transportation having been paid courtesy of the taxpayers?  Will they be flown to Afghanistan to resume their plots against our government and our people, again at taxpayer expense?

Why is Obama giving the Muslim terrorists what they want?  Why is Obama giving the Muslim terrorists a world-wide stage to denounce America?  Putting American lives at jeopardy.    Elections have consequences.
