don't they lose the argument by deciding to use commisions for some and law enforcement civilian courts for others?

so what the heck?

and interrogation? don't they lose that argument , don't they also having a problem with retaining renditions?

2 also have* a problem as they kept rendition

3 Reposted from the Headlines thread with apologies:

AG Holder is in the unenviable position of trying to justify a political decision with a legal argument.  That is largely the reason why he looked like a retard yesterday.

Of course the fact that he is, in fact, a retard helped...

What IS of concern to the administration is how to energize the base of young Obama voters who stayed home in New Jersey and Virginia two weeks ago and get them to turn out to vote and keep Congress in Democrat hands next year.  IMHO they've read the tealeaves and have determined that bringing back the Bush/Cheney bogeyman is the best way to do that and that a high profile "show trial" of KSM and the others is the best way to resurrect said bogeyman.

Justice, Rule of Law, and National Security all be damned- they need to hold on to Congress to hold on to power.  That is all that matters.

They aren't just criminalizing acts of war.  They are criminalizing political disagreements (i.e. Bush administration policy).

 

They know exactly what they fuck they're doing and they're going to do it anyway.

 

Which I predicted. Not cause I'm smart. Cause they are predictable.

 

This post written by the ghost of Alger Hiss.

5 Graham verbally slapped Howard Sprague silly.

6
The fact that Grahamnesty is fully capable of tearing down these shitballs, and yet refuses to do so, is the most disappointing thing about him.

7

Remember the Seinfeld "Two Face" episode?  That's Graham--why can't he be this way all the time?  That train of argument with Holder was simple, focused and easy for a layman to follow.

Brilliant.

Of course, tomorrow, he'll want to cede control of all CO₂ emissions to the UN, but that was brilliant.

8 Isn't it obvious? We've got to put a show trial on to demonstrate how just and fare our system is!

9

While Holder is a fool, we must all realize this problem falls squarely on the shoulders of President Obama. After all, the terrorists are in the custody of the military and subject to military courts no matter what Holder says. The only way for these terrorists to be transferred from the custody of the military to civilian custody is by order of the Commander in Chief.

10 Holder was owned and operated by the Graham Cracker!

11
Thisiswhathappenswhenyouhaveacollegefacultyrunningthegovernment.

12 Away with you, sock.

13 I'm not a lawyer, but I do enough expert witness testimony as part of my job to know that this is very effective cross examination that left him nowhere to hide. Holder's problem is he is trying to sell BS and Graham brought this out in the open for all to see.

Shannon Love at Chicagoboyz website wrote an excellent article regarding the constitutional dangers of this...

It's come to a point where we applaud our representatives for, you know, doing their jobs.

Hooray, Lindsey Graham!

And, later, we'll get all wet when an (R) in Congress says a few nice things about Conservatism.

16 Let's face it. This is the kind of arrogant incompetence that we get when an administration takes power and is never held accountable for their actions. I find myself in a very unusual moral position between seeing this terrorist killed by hook or crook....The way Holder and his master are doing it now where they both are flat out saying that KSM will be executed no matter what. And the other side of the now, unpalatable side of the coin, where I'm thinking that maybe KSM ought to go free so as to keep our justice system in tact and "unchanged" to where all American citizens would be subject to the "new rules" of our justice system that would have to occur to get a guilty conviction. I can only hope that the administrations quest in putting Bush and our intelligence forces on trial (which is obviously a big reason to do this charade)backfire in a severe, unrecoverable way for these Elitist traitors.

17 I'm second to no one in my loathing of Lindsay Graham's style of 'make a deal and get something done' politics but my guess is he's a hell of a lawyer.

As I said in the previous thread, let's not give this douche too much credit. In this case ANY credit is too much.  He helped McLame castrate the Military Commisions act in 2005 and gave the terrorists more "rights" in military court than our own service men have.

He is grandstanding here playing lawyer for the cameras. I will repeat the truth:

Remember what "hearings" are for.  They are there to give the participants more camera exposure and free rhetoric time.

They mean NOTHING. Its the actions you have to watch.

18

Civilian trials are identical to military tribunals and are not allowed.

19

from Huckleberry's article;

They will have to overturn the requirement for Miranda warnings. They will have to overturn the Fifth Amendment protection against self incrimination. They will have to overturn the right to face one’s accusers and to examine all evidence and evidence gathering methods.

Even if the courts throw out his conviction, the government will never allow him to go free, so we will toss out protection against double jeopardy if they try to convict with a military tribunal, and toss out the right of no imprisonment without trial if they don’t.

Our system of justice relies on precedent and equality of procedure. The same rules apply to every civil trail. We can’t say that it’s okay to deny the right against self-incrimination in one person’s trial while saying it’s okay in another. If the courts overturn the rights of one individual accused, it must overturn the rights of all of them.

20 I never cared much for Lindsay Graham but this was poetry. 
Holder looked like an incompetent boob.  This trial will end in disaster.

21

I'd be interested in what the lawyers here have to say about Graham's style of questioning. My guess is they wouldn't want their client on the other side of it.

Graham is neither conducting direct or cross-examination here.  He's doing some cross sprinkled with speeches, kind of like Matlock used to talk directly to the jury while the witness was on the stand.   

22 You could could almost hear the uhhh... as Lindsey would thrust his pelvis up against Eric's backside. Over and over again. Oh the pain!

23 Graham is dead on about this - what happens directly after being taken into custody re:mirandizing and interrogation, specifically any information obtained as a result of said interrogation and its subsequent admissibility in court, is key. IOW's, what Graham is asking Holder, which he doesn't answer (and can't btw and remain AG), is that they will have to Mirandize EVERYONE that is taken into custody either on the battlefield or anywhere else in order to protect the possibility that they may be tried in US courts. Otherwise, any information obtained through interrogation is inadmissible, plain and simple. That's why this policy is so silly and dangerous. Someone else may have said this, but I have a bad feeling that this is going to backfire on Obama badly and that good people will be killed as a result of this policy. Imagine how Obama gets reelected when a few hundred hostages are killed as a result of some sleeper cell "bargaining" for KSM's release while in NYC. Dangerous times folks, dangerous times.

24 "I'd be interested in what the lawyers here have to say about Graham's style of questioning. My guess is they wouldn't want their client on the other side of it."

As a court reporter I have watched the best and the worst of cross-exes. This is the best: superb strategy and dramatic execution with perfectly calibrated emotionalism. Devastating.  Lawyers are dreaming about Lindsey tonight.

25 This is not going to end well.  Yeah, go ahead and say it:  "Ya think?"

26 Obama and Holder are going to end up looking like fools when this "trial" starts.

27 Posted on an earlier thread, and deserving of a repeat:

http://bit.ly/3AsfhK

28 On the other hand, Lindsey will probably turn around and vote to have the case tried in Federal Court.  If there were such a vote, of course.

29 This is not going to end well.  Yeah, go ahead and say it:  "Ya think?"

Trying KSM in NY.  What could possibly go wrong?

30 Lawyers are dreaming about Lindsey tonight. --- Bad imagery

31 Graham is neither conducting direct or cross-examination here.

That's a fair point but he could also easily turn some of those speeches into questions (at least on cross where he could lead a bit).

Also, he knew Holder (also a political animal) would filibuster in answering some of those questions. In a courtroom he could have forced a witness to answer and the effect would have been even more devastating because we all know what those answers are.

32 Imagine how Obama gets reelected when a few hundred hostages are killed as a result of some sleeper cell "bargaining" for KSM's release while in NYC

Hello!

33 Lindsey is great ,  except for that whole bi - polar thing he's got going on .

34
Obama and Holder are going to end up looking like fools when this "trial" starts.

The SRM will be in full damage-control spin and coverage mode for these c*cksuckers.  It's inevitable.  And they'll lead with "it's BOOOOSH'S fault!" meme.

35

They aren't just criminalizing acts of war.  They are criminalizing political disagreements (i.e. Bush administration policy).  They know exactly what they fuck they're doing and they're going to do it anyway.

Yeah, I agree with you on this.  Too bad they didn't think about this situation logically - even "politically" logically.  This KSM trial will backfire on them - badly.  In fact, I think the Wookie should start real estate shopping in Chicago while her hubby figures out where to build the presidential library, such as it will be.

You can be damn sure "fly-over" country will not be pleased with this show trial and even blue area, like NYC won't like it either, seeing as they were Ground Zero for KSM's attacks.

It won't be long before Republican/conservative pundits and politicans start hammering at this decision, including what should be so blatantly obvious: KSM's plan also involved an attack on the Pentagon - not a civilian target like the WTCs.  This was an act of war and KSM was not a citizen, or even an USPER.  KSM was caught in a foreign land.

If anything screams for military trial, it's this.

And when the civilian trial starts fucking this cat, Obama is going to be left holding the tail.  Good-bye.  Hope you enjoyed your four years.  You Democrats in Congress?  Hope you enjoy solid blue electorates, or you'll be out on your ass as well.

Our economy is starting to look like Japan in the 1990s (no economic growth, savings rate growing, consumer spending down, easy credit from banks) and in a couple of years, Washington will look like 1994 with a Republican takeover in Congress.

36 Again, I don't see how this case doesn't get thrown out on a pretrial motion. Which is good in that KSM and his flacks won't get access to discovery, but bad in that he likely goes free while his case gets appealed up the ladder. Best case scenario, the Supremes rule (5-4, natch) that the case never should have gone to civillian court, and remand it back to the military.

37 KSM trial =epic fail

unless of course they get the venue changed....

to Chicago

{shudder}

38 Lindsey Graham is great at fileting the incompetent candidates that he's about to wholeheartedly endorse.

39

Actually, unfortuneately Holder was correct.  Miranda is only about questioning.  Once someone is in custody and before that person is questioned, that person must be read the Miranda rights.  The right to an attorney is only available to someone who is being questioned or in a legal proceeding.  I arrest people frequently and never Mirandize them unless I am going to question them.  No questioning, no Miranda. 

At a person's initial appearance, the Magistrate instructs the defendant on their rights, but by that time, at least at the federal level, they have already either been assigned an attorney or have their own.

However, Osama will have to be questioned for his intelligence value, not for any prosecution, and it appears that Lindsey Gramnesty missed that.

40

I'll grudingly give kudos to Lindsay for his performance yesterday.

Next on his docket:

- Cap'n'Trade AGW bill: National economic suicide for an issue that is a hoax. Might as well just burning the money in a giant hole.

- Comprehensive Immigration Reform: Republican suicide in order to sound compassionate. Might as well just purge 10% of Republican voters from the rolls.

41

Soon our men and women in uniform will be required to carry around "Miranda cards" (of the type I'm told some police carry that has the warnings printed on it) with them on the battlefield.  "We've done away with rifle qualifications so y'all can spend more time practicing your Miranda warnings."

I keep hoping one day someone will jump out and yell "Gotcha!" and this will all be a joke and we'll go back to acting like a society that gives a damn about preserving our civilization, but it looks like we'll have to wait three more years to end this joke.

42 Obama and Holder are trying a little parlor magic here. They want everyone to focus on what happens to KSM. The real threat is what happens to our ability to defend ourselves and conduct "contingency operations" during the trials of the other little fish.

43 Can someone photoshop a Miranda warning onto a JDAM or Hellfire, please?

44 Where in the hell are they going to find a jury of KSM's peers?  Will there be any Jews on the jury?  I doubt it.

45

 Graham;...has an enemy combatant been tried in a civilian court in US.

Holder's answer? well i dunno I'll have to look into that?

really? really? But we're going to do it, even  though i admit i'm ignorant?

 

46

27 Obama and Holder are going to end up looking like fools when this "trial" starts.

Does it really matter? The people that voted for Obama will not care. Hell the guy could seriously use the Constitution as a rolling paper for a huge joint and they would applaud.

47 @aggiebc:  In three more years, we won't remember this day.

48

For a while the Army had "stress cards" that they carried around in basic.  If the mean old Drill got in your face and upset you, you could play your Stress Card and get a timeout.  Un-fucking-believable.  You probably aren't too far off, lord knows there's too many JAG officers running around.

49 Who wants to be on that jury? Imagine spending the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, waiting for the psycho Islamic murdering prick who thinks that he'll finally get laid (by goats, but that's what they are into) if he kills juror from the KSM trial.

50 Graham;...has an enemy combatant been tried in a civilian court in US.

Wait a minute, Holder is the AG.  Wouldn't you expect that the AG would have researched this little nugget before making a decision?

51

_{WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE OVER THE PRESIDENT'S 'VERDICT FIRST, TRIAL SECOND' PRONOUNCEMENTS?}

How does the defense not move for dismissal on day one of the trial? How does the government prove there is no bias when the President of the United States announces not only the verdict but the sentence before the trial?

The Constitution is in danger, my friends.

52 Hey PJ do court reporters make good money?

53 Hey Eric, How did that barbed cock of satan feel? That was just a taste of what your future holds.

54 Again, I don't see how this case doesn't get thrown out on a pretrial motion. Which is good in that KSM and his flacks won't get access to discovery. Joe, I don't see anything good about this being the nutjob now has "our" rights. I'm not a lawyer but does this not scream...precedent? How can we give someone our rights and then deny them a great portion of those rights to get the outcome we want and expect it not to change the rules for everyone, which it should. We are witnessing the first steps of replacing our justice system with a Kangaroo court, so these politicians can consistently get the outcomes they want when they put us on trial.Wonderful.

55
Does it really matter? The people that voted for Obama will not care.

You know what, I was sitting next to a brother on the PnR this morning, and he was talking to someone on the phone about this.  His exact words were "do it just like the Chinese, shoot them in the back of the head and charge them for the bullet."  I was stunned.  This KSM thing is going to bite them in the ass, it has already started to do so.

56 How did Stedman get to be AG?????

57

I'm sorry but Holder may be the dumbest cocksucker in this whole cocksucking administration.  The Affimrative Action dimwit actually said the following:

"Here's the crap Holder is trying to sell that Graham won't let him get away with...Holder says, 'we don't need to question bin Laden because we have so much evidence already so we won't question him for a statement, therefor Miranda doesn't apply'."

A fucking 3rd grader should be smarter than that.  Of course Bin Laden would be questioned.  It doesn't  A FUCKING GENIUS to figure this FACT out.

We catch Obama and we don't ask him who, what, where and when??  We just catch him for his past crimes against the U.S. and don't ask him any questions?

Who the FUCK does HOLDER think he's fooling? 

Oh.  The MSM.

58 Who wants to be in the jury pool?

I assure you a Fatwah awaits you and your family.  Such wonderful incentives.

59 I sure have had my problems with Graham in the past, but this was an epic smackdown.  Monumental ownage.

60 Well spoken, #55, Drider.  So, how close are we to a constitutional precipice?

61 Racist cracker.

62 Graham;...has an enemy combatant been tried in a civilian court in US. -- I don't think Graham asked that question without knowing the answer, and Holder knows the answer as well.

63 Look, dammit!  I'm a former military and federal prosecutor.  Anybody who has connections to Graham or Kyl get them to sponsor legislation immediately to strip the federal courts of jurisdiction to hear and determine these terror trials.  The Constitution vests Congress with the sole power to determine the subject matter jurisdiction (that is, the power) of the federal courts.  They can giveth and taketh away.  This move would have good results no matter the outcome:  1.  it would get the Dems on record as voting for or against a SKM trial in Manhattan; and 2.  it just might pass--putting Obama in a box.  So, peeps, let's get on this.  My US rep's are Schumer, Gillibrand and a lib congressman.  I got nuthin'.  Tried to contact Graham's orefice but they told me I wasn't a consituent so they kind of blew me off.

64 So the President orders a change of venue and then pronounces the defendant guilty.  WTF?

65 The right to an attorney is only available to someone who is being questioned or in a legal proceeding.

Federale,

You as a federal officer can't just arrest someone and throw them in a cell indefinitely and not provide them with access to counsel as long as you don't ask them a question.

If that were the rule, people could be arrested, thrown in a cell and held there indefinitely so long as no one asked them a question.

However, Osama will have to be questioned for his intelligence value, not for any prosecution, and it appears that Lindsey Gramnesty missed that.

Is anyone sure that a court won't say, 'wait, you guys held him for 5 years and are just bringing him to court now?" The administration will say, that was different and the clock starts...now.

There's no basis in law for that. A court could very well argue that KSM was denied his 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial. There's only one remedy for that.

Also, the question is about going forward with lesser known terrorists. OBL and KSM are known commodiites but what about the next #3 guy in AQ or just a foot soldier.

As a battlefield commander, what do you do with them to preserve the options that Obama says he wants? It's great the Holder says there's a protocol for deciding what track to go down, but what happens in those first few minutes could impact that decision which will be made months/years later.

66 Has anyone speculated on the political impact of this show trial in NY. Could it cost the Dems a Governor and Senator?

67 And here I was thinking Alberto Gonzalez was our first affirmative action Attorney General.

68 Thanks, Slade.  Good point.  Good idea.

69 Well, if they've got full Constitutional rights, even non-citizens outside the US, don't we need a court order before we listen to enemy communications, even on the battlefield?

This silly political decision is Pandora's Box, and, once it's opened, everything falls apart (or it will once lawyers begin pushing those precedents to their limits).

71 This prosecuting stuff is an inexact science. It doesn't matter anyway because I'm holding a jobs fair next month.

72 Anybody who has connections to Graham or Kyl get them to sponsor legislation immediately to strip the federal courts of jurisdiction to hear and determine these terror trials.

Slade,

They did that with the Military Commissions Act and the Courts took the case anyway.

That inconvenient part of the Constitution is a dead letter because the judges say so. So shut up, the law (like the science) is settled.

73 Yeah, nickless, once we go down this path, how do we back-up and set things straight?  Am I wrong to envision a crisis worse than our worse nightmare?  This whole thing pus us and or military in complete peril.

74 51 I agree - Graham should have nailed him on that response alone. Interestingly, Graham kind of went easy on him, he could have nailed him so hard that Holder disappeared under the table sucking his thumb and assuming a fetal position, but he must have felt pity for him.

75 Your Honor. I'm just a simple hyperchicken from a backwood asteroid, but if it pleases the court....

76 Hey, the jury system seemed to work out well for me, at least the first time.  The second, not so much.  But I did get away with double murder.

77

Who wants to be in the jury pool?


 I imagine if selected for the jury there will be a handsome little book deal at the end.

78 Solid questioning.  Pandering to the cameras is just like pandering to a jury so I won't fault him for that.  He does a good job.

79 Any cop or first year law student KNOWS you have to administer Miranda in any custodial interrogation. Anything obtained from a custodial interrogation where Miranda has NOT been administered is FRUIT OF THE POISON TREE and will not be admitted in a court of law in the U.S. As a matter of fact, any evidence obtained as a result of any illegal activity as deemed so by case law that has been set as precient by SCOTUS is fruit of the poison tree and will also be excluded unless the State can show that the information would be obtained regardless of the illegal activity from which they got it. See a problem here with federal Courts and Combatants? Seems Holder does not. Was he an affirmative action product? I am getting more skeptical of any benificiary of AA. BO and Holder have proven that AA lets idots get degrees they cannot even begin to live up to!

80 What juror would write a book?  You would have to hide for the rest of your life.

I wanna give a shot out to Chuck Schummer! Thanks Chuck for all your hard work on my healthcare bill. Now this news today of KSM's aquital is shocking to us all. We need to retry him in a military tribunal.

84

He walked her [Sotomayor ] down a path where there was absolutely no doubt she was incompetent and lying. Unfortunately at that point Graham's political instincts overrode his legal training and he let her off the hook.

So we should hope that Sen. Graham isn't on the jury.

86 Does anyone practice in NYC and have a reference to a summary of current bench, and the judges likely to get this trial.

87 Obama and Holder know exactly what they are doing. Putting these animals in civilian court is basically a huge middle finger to Bush/Cheney and the War on Terror. A bone tossed to the leftist anti-America base of the democrat party. While I don't doubt that Obama and Holder are affirmative action punks, these fuckers are smart enough in this instance to know exactly what they are doing. Fuck them. They should be in prison.

88 I give Graham a "D".  I would have said that Holder was incompetent if he didn't already know whether to Mirandize Bin Laden if captured tomorrow.  I would have asked for Holder's resignation.

89
#81

you pretty much become a potential target by being selected,might as well make something from the deal

90 I thought it was quite telling when Holder responded that HE makes the juridicional decisions, not KSM......a simple school yard turf war. These people are as trailer trash as can be.

91 #89 +1 You have to wonder though if the Republicans are holding off with that kind of language in a public forum so as not to let the rest of the world know that our senators are actually shitting themselves knowing just how incompetent and therefore dangerous Obama and Holder are.

92 Well considering Graham will vote to legalize anyone in this country illegally KSM will become a citizen soon anyway so this entire conversation will become moot.

93

 Graham;...has an enemy combatant been tried in a civilian court in US.

Holder's answer? well i dunno I'll have to look into that?

really? really? But we're going to do it, even  though i admit i'm ignorant?

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on t.v., but Lindsay absolutely eviscerates Holder who is like a deer in headlights.  Good on him.  I've always thought that Graham was best when he's dealing with judiciary issues (ie. the Alito confirmation, Sotomeyer, and now this). 

As Andrew McCarthy said this a.m. on the Laura Ingraham show, every lawyer bases decisions on precedent.  Supposedly, Holder had done a lot of "careful consideration and research" before he made this decision to try KSM et al in civillian court.  Yet as McCarthy pointed out, he couldn't justify this decision with any precedent as Graham so eloquently pointed out.  McCarthy said no lawyer would ever do something like this without precedent in just an every day courtroom, and the fact that you have The Attorney General of the United States (who's suppose to be an expert in the law) doing this proves it is purely political.  Both he and Laura agreed that this decision is going to bite the Obama administration in the butt when the U.S. ends up being the one on trial, not KSM. 

This you-tube vid should be front page news, but unfortunately, I don't see that happening.

 

94 If your job is killing or tyrannizing innocent people (abortionists, terrorists, Communist dictators) Obama is the best friend you ever had in the White House.

95 Graham's cross-examination was decent although his target was easy pickens.' Personally, I wish the voters of South Carolina would make Lindsey an assistant prosecutor in a South Carolina country somewhere. He'd do a decent job at that.

96 county, not country

#89

I wonder how much of the evidence Holder says we have against bin laden would be allowed in a civilian court.

98

Where in the hell are they going to find a jury of KSM's peers? ...

Shouldn't be too hard, Afghanistan, Pakistan, The West Bank, etc.

As far as sitting on that jury, those people are going to get old and perhaps lose their livelihood.  This trial is going to be interminably long.  I can't even imagine how much that is going to cost NYC--to be on high alert with all that security for years.  Not only that, but would anyone choose to go to NYC as a tourist with all that going on?  Unbelievable.

99 How does the defense not move for dismissal on day one of the trial?

Undoubtedly they will.  I'll say the chances of it being granted are around 50:50. 

100

Running, It was simply stunning , how ignorant He is shown to be!

i actully gasped at it.

.

101 I'm not a lawyer, but I do enough expert witness testimony as part of my job to know that this is very effective cross examination that left him nowhere to hide. Holder's problem is he is trying to sell BS and Graham brought this out in the open for all to see.

And it's notable that our fucking AG was too stupid to see it coming. Now, it helps to have the facts and law on your side (Holder has neither) but a decent lawyer should have seen the angles.

Yikes. Every day the question goes from "are they stupid or evil?" to "are they even more stupid and evil than I thought they were yesterday?"

102

I'm starting to wonder if this will happen, or if it will be like the closing of Gitmo, postponed while they--hey, look over here, something shiny!

Whose cooperation do they need? New York doesn't want this circus, there are some really rocky legal issues that could derail it...I really wonder.

103

Where in the hell are they going to find a jury of KSM's peers?

The Columbia University faculty.

104

Graham voted to confirm Holder. Now he gets to look all prosecutorial genius by questioning the idiot he voted for in the first place. Holder worked for the lawfirm in D.C. who reps a bunch of detainees. Graham and the rest of the rhinos who voted for him are reaping the whirlwind now. Congratulations to Graham, and now, watch as Bush and Cheney and half the CIA are gutted in front of inquiring minds. Yeah, he's a real fucking genius, alright.

105 running i know Schumer asked for 75 million for security costs.

106 Show trials tend to come back and bite you.

Naaa. It'll be jury of unemployed and retirees with nothing else to do. Anyone else in the pool will be smart enough to get themselves disqualified during Voir dire.

108

106 running i know Schumer asked for 75 million for security costs.

The trial of KSM is about one three letter word, J-O-B-S.

109 Apparently, Obama's only problem with al Qaeda is that they aren't unionized.

110

How fucking stupid are some of you people.

If these people are being tried in Civilian court, they are by law afforded ALL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.  If they are afforded all Constitutional Rights, they HAVE to be Mirandized.  IT IS HAS BEEN DECIDED BY THE SUPREME COURT.   These men would have NO IDEA what their RIGHTS are or were, because we have never made such a MORONIC decision before.  There was never a reason to MIRANDIZE on the battle field 

ERGO and here is the big finish.

If they were no Mirandized, their RIGHT WERE VIOLATED.  They were not informed of their right to SILENCE nor their RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY. Whether they were interrogated or NOT, we are REQUIRED to tell them what RIGHTS THEY HAVE.

 

We did not.

They walk. 

It's as simple as that.  Holder is a fucking moron.

111 Mikeyslaw, I've always been curious about who  was paying the bills? pro bono ACLU? how  would I find out?

I was wondering about the peer thing,can he insist on muslims sitting on the jury or the exclusion of women?

114

Question.

Does anyone know if in fact the military has indeed tried any terrorists in their custody?

Yes, I know they are sitting on them to gain info, but has there been any trials or tribunals?

I'm not aware of any.

Which could be part of the problem.

115

Shit!  Just when I was going to declare myself the duly elected official of one (or several (more votes the better don't you know)) of the ghost congressional districts where all of the jobs were both created and saved, the good and awesomely competent bastards running the website go and purge the database of all of the fictional districts.

I could have been a contender!

116 From now on Holder will only answer pre chosen questions.  Lindsey knew the rule "don't ask a question you don't know the answer too".  The O and his peeps will never let this happen again.

117 Obama and Holder thoroughly beclowned themselves yesterday. Will it matter? Probably not.

118 Does anyone know if in fact the military has indeed tried any terrorists in their custody? KSM already plead guilty at his.

Countdown to when Holder or Obama says something condescending about how the military couldn't handle it...

120 Obama and Holder know exactly what they are doing.

Actually, I believe they're completely clueless.  They THINK they know what they're doing, but clearly they've not thought through all the different angles.

Suppose the judge, recognizing the Obamunists game plan for what it is and how dangerous it will be, is a tad irked they want to use his court for said political spectacle?

Suppose that judge were to simply grant the defense's first motion to dismiss citing chapter and verse of whatever applicable statutes led him to the conclusion. 

The Obamunists believe that's not going to happen.

If you get an older judge nearing retirement, who doesn't give a shit about political pressure or their career anymore, anything can happen.

121

While Holder is a fool, we must all realize this problem falls squarely on the shoulders of President Obama. After all, the terrorists are in the custody of the military and subject to military courts no matter what Holder says. The only way for these terrorists to be transferred from the custody of the military to civilian custody is by order of the Commander in Chief.

Dear Ken,

Nothing falls squarely in the shoulders of Obama. The buck stops everywhere else.

Countdown to when Holder or Obama says something condescending about how the military couldn't handle it...

They've already played the 'Bush and the military took 8 years to try them' card.  Except that cocksucker Holder worked at the firm that represented the Gitmo terrorists, and their motions were the ones holding up the trials.  Cocksuckers.

123 As problematic is the failure of the Senate to probe how Holder had any say in this whatsoever. As an enemy combatant sequestered on a military base, KSM was under military jurisdiction. He was beyond the Justice Department.  Only Obama as head of both Justice and the Military could have made the executive order to transfer custody. Thus Obam'a disclaimer that this was entirely Holder's decision is disingenuous to the extreme. But I have no doubt Holder begged for the chance to put the CIA and our military on trial, promising Obama huge PR rewards and MSM coverage of past Republican practices, all in front of a selected liberal judge. This mono fixation on Bush is ideological in nature, revealing a true hatred of all things conservative.

124 And for the record, the argument that Graham was making did not require an attorney, just a literate adult who is has read the Constitution and has perhaps watched a few TV crime shows. There were lay people yesterday screaming about this decision all over, including myself.

125

On Laura's show, she also played the clip of Holder when someone at yesterday's hearing confronted him with McCarthy's opinon, that the right venue to try KSM et al. is in military tribunals not in civillian courts.  Holder said something like "Well, that's easy to say in order to score political points on tv and radio shows, but this is not the time for ptolemics.  The American way is to have jury trials, blah, blah, blah."  McCarthy said something like "Well, is the American way putting terrorists in prison (which I did) or is it defending them and getting them pardons (which Holder did)."

126 The military tried German spies during WW2 and hung them.

127

Drew:

 

I believe what the courts did vis a vis the subject matter jurisdiction clauses of the Military Commissions Act was determine on an ad hoc basis that federal habeas petitions would continue to be heard in the courts as this is an ancient writ later codified by law to be a unique tool in the courts.  The federal courts did not rule that Congress lacked the power to strip the courts of SMJ on the issue of trials proper.  Even our SCOTUS would probably rule that no district judge could overrule Congress' declaration that no trials would occur.

128 Holder may not be stupid, but he sure looks like his knowledge of American History and Law is lacking.

129 "I worry about you Eric -- you may fold under questioning!  Ya stutterin' prick, ya."

130

On US soil.

131

I posted this video on my facebook page last night for all my libtard friends to see with the following headline "Holder admits that he will stage a show trial by testifying that even if KSM is acquitted or gets off on a technicality he will still be detained as an enemy combatant.  Rather than demonstrating the strength of our judicial system (as is claimed) this trial will undermine the very foundations of it" 

The legal implications that follow from Holder's testimony make the ham fisted handling of this issue by the Bush administration look deft and masterful by comparison. I cannot see how anyone but the most radical leftist can watch this clip and not be deeply disturbed.

132 Swinging to the right before the next election, Grahamnesty?  FAIL

133

Actually, I believe they're completely clueless.  They THINK they know what they're doing, but clearly they've not thought through all the different angles.

I've worked with people like that. They plugged in an alarm clock once so now they are a fully qualified electrician. They built a treehouse for their kid so now they are a capenter. The fixed a clogged a drain with Drano so now they are a plumber.

They THINK they know what they're doing. After all, how hard could it be? It takes a heavy dose of immaturity to think that way.

134

Did KSM actually kill anybody himself? Aha! Neither did Charles Manson. So, in order to get the best perspective on the KSM trial, we should hear from the prosecutor in the Manson trial.

What have you to say about all this, Vincent Bugliosi?

135

They've already played the 'Bush and the military took 8 years to try them' card.  Except that cocksucker Holder worked at the firm that represented the Gitmo terrorists, and their motions were the ones holding up the trials.  Cocksuckers.

Dang, you are so right, I admire your perspicacity.  Yesterday, Andrew McCarthy said that Holder's firm defended 18 of those scumbags so he should really recuse himself from this whole thing.  He also said that those defense lawyers filed so many motions and delays that only 3 of the terrorists have been tried in military tribunals.  So for Holder to decry the glacial pace of "justice" because of the Bush administration and tout that the Obama administration is moving things forward after only 8 months is completely disingenuous, at best.  Oh and the thing you are the most right about is how you ended your comment.  You are such a wordsmith--heh!

136

Drew:

One mo' thing: whereas certain federal district judges read the Military Commissions Act as not divesting them of subject matter jurisdiction to hear habeas petitions, that proceeding is initiated by the filing of a defense petition; it gets before the court that way.  If Congress were to act now and decisively in stripping the federal courts of the power to even hear KSM trials, it would bind the EXECUTIVE too.  It would be illegal for Holder and his cronies to even initiate a federal grand jury proceeding to obtain the indictment in the first instance.  Even Holder wouldn't do this patently illegal maneuver.

137

#135  What have you to say about all this, Vincent Bugliosi?

These days, he's probably agree with Administration on KSM.  I remember Bugliosi wrote a book (can't recall the title off-hand) where he said that basically the Supreme Court botched Bush vs. Gore and selected Bush as the President.

If there's two things that Leftism can kill quickly in one's mind, it's ethics and logic.

138 There are a lot of knocks on Eric Holder but no one really thinks he's a stupid man.

I do. I can't think of a single "smart" thing Holder has ever said or done, while I can can uickly come up with a number of really stupid things he's proudly backed and said.

Why do people seem so quick to ascribe intelligence to people who demonstrate none, just because they have wormed their way into high positions or been able to gain acceptance into "elite" institutions? I find this perplexing.

Maybe people have just formed some sort of respect for the intellect of people who do stupid things and then look like fools when they fail to justify them in public? I don't get it. I just don't get it.

139 Graham is good. Too bad he's not on our side.

140 Didn't KSM personally behead Daniel Pearl? Yes, I think he admitted that one on video.

141
Starting to think the best thing for the country would be if the court lets KSM walk on day one.  Rather see that than the leftist trash destroy CIA and our military by putting them on trial instead in this kangaroo court.  Not to mention the backlash against Wee Wee and AG cocksucker.

142  running i know Schumer asked for 75 million for security costs.

The trial of KSM is about one three letter word, J-O-B-S.

Yup, NYC is going broke, but let's just raise the taxes on the rich to pay for the KSM trial.  If I lived in NYC and made any kind of money, I'd get the heck out of Dodge.  Did you see that some big boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and that Philippino dude (I'm blanking on his name) will not take place in either NY or NJ because of....wait for it....the high tax rates!  Heh!

143

Didn't KSM personally behead Daniel Pearl? Yes, I think he admitted that one on video.

Yes, he did.  The Pearl family came out right away and denounced this decision.

144 As far as technique, Graham nailed it.  Keep giving the witness rope, let the witness hang himself and then give a gentle nudge to help the swing. 

Damn it I said something nice about Graham, I have to go wash in bleach now.

Did KSM actually kill anybody himself?

Daniel Pearl.

Ptolemics?   Yes indeedie RunningRn, Ptolemics are exactly what we get from the great Imperial Edifice  with their "bad news dump" each Friday afternoon.

The Great Ptolemy tells us what we need (and are allowed) to know.  In the meantime, the unwashed populace will continue to have the Great Ptolemy  dump "bad news"  all over us for the next three years.

On a happier note, it was good to see that Senator Graham has not entirely forgotten his prosecutorial chops.  He still knows how to ask a question.  But he disappears all too often into the great Senatorial fog of compromise and good fellowship.  Still, an occasional  glimmer of intelligence on the part of any Senator is good to see.

148
Mr.Pink

The Nuremburg Trials were a military tribunal as were the trials of the Lincoln co-conspirators.

149

Why do people seem so quick to ascribe intelligence to people who demonstrate none, just because they have wormed their way into high positions or been able to gain acceptance into "elite" institutions? I find this perplexing.

I hate to sound all conspiratorial and racist, but I really do believe both Holder and Obama are two of affirmative action's finest examples.

150 Well, if they've got full Constitutional rights, even non-citizens outside the US, don't we need a court order before we listen to enemy communications, even on the battlefield?

The lefties were arguing just that over the "domestic wiretapping". The calls originated overseas, ended overseas, yet passed through telecom equipment in the US -- lefties say warrants are needed.

Meanwhile, of course, they say that NO WARRANT is needed to search a shipping container coming into a port. Which is correct, yet incompatible with their stance on communications.

151 On Sen. Graham's first point, of "has there been a time in history...", wouldn't John Walker Lindh qualify for this?  I know it's the same war, but this was an American picked up as an enemy combatant, but then tried in court for his crimes.

152 I have commented on this issue before, and for my efforts, I have received attack philosophy.

Quite simply, you cannot illegally kidnap people, hold them for years, deny them the right to a speedy trial and due process. Maybe water board them a few times and find out what they ate at Jack In the Box the night before. Then claim that the information you glean, largely unsubstantiated and uncorroborated, was worth whatever torture you applied-thus justifying it.

And like Graham says, what we have done at Gitmo, would get tossed out of civilian court so fast it would embarrass the government beyond measure. That's why Obama is at a stalemate. You can't try them, look stupid when forced to release them. You can't simply release them and look careless and arrogant, and you can't hold them indefinitely without trial. Nobody even wants the miscreants.

Gitmo is a fucking disaster. It is one of the purest and most asinine ventures I can think of since the Japanese civilian internment camps. I cannot wait to see what the government eventually does because no matter what they do, they are fucked. And as they say, if you know it is unavoidable you might as well sit back and enjoy it. 

153 27 Obama and Holder are going to end up looking like fools when this "trial" starts.

Posted by: GarandFan at November 19, 2009 10:54 AM (ZQBnQ)

They don't care. Their intention is to make a mockery of our system and make the US look foolish. Anything that removes trust and dignity from American institutions is right in line with their intentions.

This junta is organized towards nothing but destroying our system. If they have to look like idiots in the process (which is just par for the course for them, anyway) then so be it. These people are political suicide bombers who are looking to take our system down with them.

154 I heard that Subway is introducing a new ham sandwhich.  They're naming it "The Holder."

155 They THINK they know what they're doing. After all, how hard could it be? It takes a heavy dose of immaturity to think that way.

Lots of smart people assume that simply being smart is enough. A nuclear physicist assumes that his skills are prefectly sufficient to, e.g., fix the wiring in his house. Later, when the EMTs pronounce him dead from massive electrical-shock trauma, it's too late to realize that smarts aren't everything. Skill and experience must exist alongside raw IQ. In fact, raw IQ is much less valuable than people think it is in most cases: it's like saying that any Joe Schmoe can win the Indy 500 if only he's driving the fastest car.

The Democrats have had a fetish for "intellectuals" going back for over a hundred years. They absolute love getting "experts" to sign on to whatever wild-eyed idea they have at any given time. How could it be a bad idea? Smart people support it! Their disdain for average folks is part and parcel of this fetish for "intellectualism" -- just look at the abuse they heaped on W. and Palin, and how much of it was directed at the (perceived) lack of intelligence. Yet when we witness at the hapless stumblings of Obama and his brain-trust...silence follows. How could this happen? They're smart!

Well, it turns out that what you need is not abstract intelligence so much as competence. Plenty of Hahvahd PhD's can't even change a tire or fix a leaky toilet; and the value of these abilities spikes in direct proportion to how badly you need them at any given time. The world can get along without brainy astrophysicists for a good long while; it wouldn't last long without good plumbers.

156 Under Article I, Section 8[11] of the Constitution, only Congress is authorized: "To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water."   If the Miranda rights were ordered by the administration without congressional authorization, are they unconstitutional?

A big loophole already and the trial hasn't even started

"For one thing, capturing Osama bin Laden — we've had enough on him, we don't need to interrogate him," Leahy added.

Then there is the senior senator from Vermont.  Wow.

158 If I'm an AF JAG and I am asked to okay a kill shot on bin Laden, I wonder why I would after hearing Holder's scuffling around. It sounds to me like the JAG would be executing a suspect, not erasing a terrorist.

159

 Does anyone know if in fact the military has indeed tried any terrorists in their custody? KSM already plead guilty at his.

Really? What trial? Because if that happened, why wasn't he sentenced to death or life imprisonment? Thus negating this whole sham in NY.

Must have been something I missed.

160 Here is my take on it. The outcome of the trial has been preordained by The One, so Constitutional Rights will be bestowed upon KSM, then promptly compromised. That precedent having been set, so shall it be for all of us.

161 I hate to sound all conspiratorial and racist, but I really do believe both Holder and Obama are two of affirmative action's finest examples.

Nothing conspiratorial or racist about it. You merely speak the truth. Affirmative action kills and these two are perfect examples of how.

I cannot wait to see what the government eventually does because no matter what they do, they are fucked. And as they say, if you know it is unavoidable you might as well sit back and enjoy it. 

You really are dumber than a box of rocks.  As a child of parents who were both interned, you have no sense of history.  The civilians who were interned were never guilty of any crimes against America.  The guys in gitmo were.  So right away your premise is flawed.  The fact these terrorists have only had 3 military tribunals so far is because of liberal asswipe defense attorneys who have delayed prosecutions.  If you think these show trials are going to accomplish anything but put the U.S. and the Bush administration on trial, you are sadly mistaken.  I feel sorry for you because you really are stuck on stupid.  You are a clueless F-tard.

163 HH:
Question.

Does anyone know if in fact the military has indeed tried any terrorists in their custody?

Yes, I know they are sitting on them to gain info, but has there been any trials or tribunals?

I'm not aware of any.

You've been living under a rock or depending on the MSM. Every person held at Gitmo has had at least one hearing to determine whether there's cause to hold them. Many have been released because the tribunal did not believe there was enough information.

Some of those released have since been killed on the battlefield, which suggests the tribunals erred on the side of innocence.

164 I've yet to see a single glimmer of intellect from the president.  There is literally no evidence to support ascribing a high or even moderate level of intelligence to Obama.

165 slade,

Section II of Stevens' Hamdan opinion.

The MCA of 05 specifically pulled jurisdiction.

Stevens got around it by saying it didn't explicitly cover cases in the courts so it was irrelevant. Of course that let the court rule, wreck havoc and then it was immediately applied to any other detainee, regardless if they were in the system or not.

166 Quite simply, you cannot illegally kidnap Americans people, hold them for years, deny them the right to a speedy trial and due process.

Fixed that for you.

We can do whatever the fuck we want with enemy combatants taken on the field of battle, up to and including summary execution. Your bleating about what's "illegal" or not obscures the fact that the Geneva Accords do not carry the weight of law, and do not burden the US as to our actions in the field. We choose to abide by the Accords; we are not bound to.

American citizens have the right to due process in civilian courts, not enemy aliens.

You, sir, are a credulous douchebag. A feckless chump, a gulllible pigeon ripe for the plucking. Someday, you may find yourself at the mercy of these Jihadi swine; I hope you can explain your theories of crime and punishment, and enjoy the sound of their laughter as they cut your fucking throat.

Are you following the argumetn at all?  These enemy combatants should be subject to military tribunals as they are ENEMY COMBATANTS.  Got it?

You should watch the Steven Crowder video on Gitmo so you can educate yourself a little.  And quit insulting boxes of rocks.  You really pissed me off.

179 Starting to think the best thing for the country would be if the court lets KSM walk on day one.

That's the conclusion I've come to.  It thwarts Obama/Holder's dis-ingeniousness about what the trial is really about and allows the civil process to maintain the fig leaf of "blind justice" necessary to maintain general civil order in the country.  People need to have some (minimal) faith that the civil courts aren't completely corrupt and bowing to political pressure.

I'd rather see KSM beat this set of charges than see the Obamunists corrupt the whole civil legal system for their ideological carnival.

Its not like KSM walks out the door, since there's a gazillion other charges he could be tried on, but it would be a major black eye for the Obamunists.

180

As a lawyer, I found Graham's questioning effective, but honestly, I thought he went fairly easy on him.  When Holder responded to his question about when he would Mirandize Bin Laden by saying "it depends," I would have asked Holder:

"Mr. Attorney General, we could be capturing Bin Laden as we speak.  Do you mean to tell me that the only direction that has been given to people who may take him into custody about how to deal with the issue of custodial interrogation is 'IT DEPENDS'???"

This is genuinely frightening stuff.

181

Patterico, who got it from Greenwald, which may just be the Chaos that someone's been predicting 'round here:

[Holder:] Courts and commissions are both essential tools in our fight against terrorism . . . On the same day I sent these five defendants to federal court, I referred five others to be tried in military commissions. I am a prosecutor, and as a prosecutor, my top priority was simply to select the venue where the government will have the greatest opportunity to present the strongest case with the best law. . . . At the end of the day, it was clear to me that the venue in which we are most likely to obtain justice for the American people is a federal court.

In other words, "I looked myopically at the issue of best venue and didn't notice the political, legal, or logistical issues."

182 Yeah, nickless, once we go down this path, how do we back-up and set things straight?  Am I wrong to envision a crisis worse than our worse nightmare?  This whole thing pus us and or military in complete peril.

Yes, it's something you missed -- and your ignorance renders its existence null and void.

The trial -- before a military tribunal as established by Congress -- began and then was shut down by -- I believe -- order of Obama.

186 I'd be interested in what the lawyers here have to say about Graham's style of questioning. My guess is they wouldn't want their client on the other side of it. I'm not really a lawyer, but I play on TV. But before I can answer that question, I need to spend a night at a Holiday Inn Express.

Spot on.  This disconnect is the central theme of this administration.  If you have never been challenged, and have only ever been told how brilliant you are for doing any little thing, even if  only at a mediocre level, then this is what you get.  You could see the self-esteem leaking out of Holder in real time.  Reminded me of the Wicked Witch melting.

I am not saying that.  I'm saying that these men were picked up on the battlefield engaging illegally.  A lot of these people were released, and what you have left now are the worst of the worst.  If you would like, why don't you adopt some of those innocent detainees and have them go live with you and your family.  Really, you are unbelievable.  I will waste no more words or time on you.

192 Bill Bennett applauded Graham this morning, referencing his former service as a military attorney in the Air Force.

There is simply no basis in law for Obama and Holder's theory here. It's simply a political decision divorced from law.

Bennett bets that Holder will be forced to reconsider this political decision.

Pat Buchanan bets that otherwise, Obama becomes a lame duck now.

193 Additionally, terrorists are not signatories to Geneva.  We have no responsibility to honor Geneva with regards to terrorists even if we continue to honor them towards other signatories.

Actually, even if they WERE signatories, by targeting civilians, failing to wear distinctive insignia (hiding as civilians), committing false surrender and many, many other acts, they're not protected by the Geneva Conventions.

We're actually doing damage to the Geneva Conventions by giving these animals room and board -- we're rewarding war crimes with a status equivalent to a burglar, while a fundamental premise of the GCs is that sides that commit war crimes as a matter of policy are no longer protected and may (arguably SHOULD) be executed upon capture.

194

So let me get this straight, Rob Crawford. KSM was held by the military, never came to trial, because of Obama and Congress, and is now going to see justice in NYC?

202

Now officers in the field will not know how to best question captives.  Do they use standards based on military law, or civil law? 

Whichever one they choose, they might retroactively be subject to punishment of some kind if the captive ends up in the opposite legal system. 

The result?  Paralysis on the ground, and likely more dead American soldiers when important intelligence is not uncovered.

203 Is it customary to have a stammering, clueless fuck as the US Attorney General?

Posted by: t-bird at November 19, 2009 12:19 PM (FcR7P)

That requirement was traditionally for the SecState. The cancer of extreme stupidity has metastasized and now infects all positions of the executive branch. Thanks, Affirmative Action.

204 Hey, look on the bright side, maybe this will get Miranda overturned.

205

Holy hell.  I agree with Pat Buchanan.

I feel dirty.

Jesus, go get yourself scrubbed down with a stiff brush

206 If Lindsey Graham were to burst into flames, I wouldn't waste the time to piss on him.

207

So let me get this straight, Rob Crawford. KSM was held by the military, never came to trial, because of Obama and Congress, and is now going to see justice in NYC?

Care to site something to that proposition?

I dispute the proposition that he's going to "see justice in NYC". Proper application of the law would have given him justice long ago -- determine he's a member of al'Qaeda and execute him on those grounds alone.

Anyway, from 2007, reports of KSMs combatant status review. The current news has swamped stories about the more recent tribunal, and I'm having trouble locating them, but they're out there.

208 Holder is on the other side!

209 I remember Bugliosi wrote a book (can't recall the title off-hand) where he said that basically the Supreme Court botched Bush vs. Gore and selected Bush as the President.

I thought it was Alan Dershowitz who wrote the book you're describing. He, at least, has some cred in constitutional law. Bugliosi, not so much.

210 Please tell us why and what you would do with captured terror suspects and illegal combatants. Specifics, please.

Summary battlefield executions per the Geneva Conventions.  I'm OK with that.

211 Dammit, why does formatting only work about half the time?!

212 Holder is on the other side!

Yep.

He either did pro bono work to defend jihadis or took jihadi cash for it.

213

I don't think that Holder is stupid.

I know he is.

214 I wonder how many enemy combatants with be shot trying to escape now.

215
Because the italics are cocksuckers.

We shoulda bombed them instead of the Nips.

216 Holy hell. I agree with Pat Buchanan. I feel dirty. Jesus, go get yourself scrubbed down with a stiff brush --- I still have some DS2 around here, if you feel you still need it.

217 IMHO they've read the tealeaves and have determined that bringing back the Bush/Cheney bogeyman is the best way to do that and that a high profile "show trial" of KSM and the others is the best way to resurrect said bogeyman.

Justice, Rule of Law, and National Security all be damned- they need to hold on to Congress to hold on to power.  That is all that matters.

Posted by: Nighthawk at November 19, 2009 10:38 AM (OtQXp)

This is quite a damning assessment, not even of Holder and Obama, but of the voters they are trying to reach.

They are going to pervert the rule of law and bring show trials to the US to make the ignorant and easily misled believe that we are pursing the WoT in a just manner. And keep in mind, once the government is allowed to proceed in such a fashion it might not be quite so easy to put the genie back in the bottle.

As Churchill noted of the NAZI leadership, we'd be better off legally and morally just shooting captured jihadis.

218 ""This mono fixation on Bush is ideological in nature, revealing a true hatred of all things conservative American""



There you go.

219 Now officers in the field will not know how to best question captives.

Ummm...sharp NCOs will make sure no "captives" make it to officers if we get to that point.  Shot trying to escape, blew himself up with a grenade when we had him surrounded, took poison, etc, etc.

220 Rush just played a 2006 clip of Obama supporting the military tribunal for KSM.

Wonder if he mentioned  to Holder that he was for tribunals before he was against them...?

221 "I'm sorry Mrs. Leahy..there was no way for us to know that OBL had all the details on the plot to assassinate your late husband. We just didn't think it appropriate to ask him, since our standing in the World was at stake".  - Eric Holder, 2010

222
Ummm...sharp NCOs will make sure no "captives" make it to officers if we get to that point.  Shot trying to escape, blew himself up with a grenade when we had him surrounded, took poison, etc, etc.

Which will result in a shocking expose in the NYT, Congressional hearings, and show trials that end in the sharp NCOs being sentenced to death for war crimes.

223
He either did pro bono work to defend jihadis or took jihadi cash for it.

Holder may not be very bright, but like any lawyer he's cunning as hell when it comes to getting paid.  Now he's going to grandstand and pander to the leftist trash with this show trial, bashing the U.S. at every opportunity.  He'll be set for life on the book and lecture tour or with a big lefty firm.

224 I hope we incorporate a complex three day class on this mess into the service NCO academies and allow our future small unit leaders draw their own conclusions.

225 Our only hope is the IRS. Nobody fucks with them. Commit some terrorist act, receive all the rights and privileges of US citizenship, be welcomed into the US, etc. I'm sure nobody has any problem with that. But if you committed or conspired to commit 'man-made disaster' for some promise of compensation and you didn't report it on your 1040, you are toast. Not even God-bama can save you.

226

As Churchill noted of the NAZI leadership, we'd be better off legally and morally just shooting captured jihadis.

But for the loss of intelligence information I think that would be the best approach.

227 2006 clip of Obama supporting the military tribunal for KSM

I've yet to see an Obama position with anything longer than a 6 month expiration date.

228

And what is this mountain of evidence against bin Laden??

Who is there to testify against him?

The only real evidence we have is hearsay.  We have no direct witnesses, we have no eyewitnesses, we have no physical evidence that ties him to the attacks.  We have enough evidence for history and commonsense, we already know for a fact that bin Laden was in charge, but court trials are NOT about facts, they are about legally admissible evidence.  And most of the evidence against him -- whether obtained by enhanced methods or not -- is not admissible under current court rules.

229

Bennett bets that Holder will be forced to reconsider this political decision.

And call it delays, working out the details, copy and past from the closing Gitmo claims.

230 Pat Leahy must be dumb, right?  You know, a stupid person.  An idiot.  A person of very low intelligence.  Because if Sarah Palin said something 1/100th as that prick Leahy did about OBL, surely she would be called stupid for it. 

231 Which will result in a shocking expose in the NYT...

Headline: "NYT reporter tragically killed during crossfire in firefight with terrorists"

232 Lindsey Graham is a dick.

233

Leahy is an ass.  No wonder Cheney told him what he could do to himself.

234 And what is this mountain of evidence against bin Laden?

His own jihadi propaganda video where he admitted ordering 9/11 might be fairly compelling. 

235 There are a lot of knocks on Eric Holder but no one really thinks he's a stupid man. Misguided? Sure. Diagnosably retarded? No.--DrewM.

Stupid is as stupid does, and stupid sticks to Holder's decision from the inside out.

I ask how, from his entire professional career, has Eric Holder proven he is a brilliant lawyer?  

Fred Thompson just said that Holder has not proven himself worthy of being the Attorney General of the United States.

One sad and simple fact that we must face: POTUS Obama does not have the will or the determination to do what it takes to win. Obama is unwilling and/or unable to make the case required in order to win in Afghanistan. Obama has already chosen; America has already lost in Afghanistan. --Thompson

Pull out because corruption is discovered in Afghanistan? In Iraq?
HOW ABOUT IN CONGRESS AND
IN THE OVAL OFFICE AND
IN THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE?

236

Andrew McCarthy thinks these guys are going to live to regret this decision when they get shellacked by public opinion.  He was wondering who is advising them to do this.  Laura said "Bill Ayers."

Posted by: runningrn at November 19, 2009 12:11 PM (qP2BK) 

Hey, I'm, sorry Obama is not righting anymore books right now, so I've got the time.

237 No Rob, it has to happen at the smallest unit level - prior to all communications and reports. At best the press and legal beagles would have the tainted accomplice testimony of one weasel.

238

As I posted on earlier thread:

The number one question for Holder and especially Teh Ø:

If the civil court system is so great at 'getting terrorists'  WHY is fuggin BILL AYERS out there saying 'GUILTY AS HELL, FREE AS A BIRD????????'

239

I remember Bugliosi wrote a book (can't recall the title off-hand) where he said that basically the Supreme Court botched Bush vs. Gore and selected Bush as the President.

The one you're thinking of is The Betrayal of America: How the Supreme Court Undermined the Constitution and Chose Our President.

The one I'm thinking of is The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder.

240 Detention Policy:  Shoot suspect 4 times in spine.  Interrogate after waking from coma.

241 I hope we incorporate a complex three day class on this mess into the service NCO academies and allow our future small unit leaders draw their own conclusions.

Sure, and the underlying message will be this:

You're screwed. No matter what you do, you're screwed. If the guy surrenders, the left back at home is going to drag him into court to testify against YOU, because you didn't bandage every scrape and bruise on the cocksucker. They're going to want to know why the guy showed up at POW processing dehydrated -- never mind that your own troops were running low on water for themselves, they're gonna demand to know why he wasn't in peak physical condition within minutes of capture.

If they guy ends up dead, they're going to declare you a cold-blooded murderer. They're going to point to close-cropped photos of his body and declare the lack of a visible firearm -- which had already been policed for everyone's safety  -- as proof he was a civilian. They're going to demand to know how you applied the rules of engagement, second by second, and if there's the least bit of inconsistency or missing information, well, they may not get a court martial to convict you, but you can kiss the possibility of a military career goodbye. And just wait until you return to civilian life; the Code Pinkers and ANSWER and their ilk are going to be camped out on your front yard, demanding you be dragged into Federal Court -- or the International Criminal Court -- and "held to account".

242 Now if the military has to read Miranda right to captured enemy combatants does that push the limits of the Posse Comitatus Act?

The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress.

243

138

Bugliosi is craphouse rat crazy.  He wrote a book called "The prosecution of GWB for murder".  The premise was that Bush should be convicted of murder for starting the Iraq war. 

The sheer insanity of the book's premise kept all the networks (even MSNBC so far as I know) from granting Bugliosi an interview to promote the book.

 

244

The military began the hearings last Friday to determine whether the 14 should be declared "enemy combatants" who can be held indefinitely and prosecuted by military tribunals.

If the 14 are declared enemy combatants, as expected, the military would then draft and file charges against them. The detainees would be tried under the new military commissions law signed by Bush in October.

This is from the link R.C. gave me. This was 2yrs ago. So WHY IN HELL weren't these guys nailed then?

Is the military so slow?

Jesus, how long did the Nuremburg Trials take?

Anyhow, thanks Rob.

 

245 Rob, small hole + body + det pack. Report nothing. Commit nothing to paper. Inconclusive contact, no KIA accounted for, etc to maintain ammo accountability. The only guys I trust to resolve this problem work for a living.

246 No Rob, it has to happen at the smallest unit level - prior to all communications and reports. At best the press and legal beagles would have the tainted accomplice testimony of one weasel.

Which is enough to convince a sizable minority of the public that are soldiers are -- to a man -- war criminals, borderline insane, and a danger to themselves and others.

A milblogger recently had a story about a school board thug ragging on a serviceman for his PTS. The serviceman disagreed with the school board over the uniform policy at his kids' school; the school board thug decided the proper response was to declare the serviceman a lunatic, make accusations about what soldiers to do captives, etc.

247 Given the arc of cases since 9/11 is anyone 100% sure (hell, 50% sure) that a court won't throw out a conviction or even a bar a trial on any number of 6th Amendment grounds?

Are you kidding? These civilian trials are designed to fail. Then Obama can say, "see what Bush did?"

248
Want some good news?

A Republican 47-year old mother of two beat the long-time incumbent Democrat mayor of the city of Lynn, Massachusetts. Judith Flanagan Kennedy won by 27 votes.

Incumbents are taking a lot of losses up here in Massachusetts, which is kinda rare. But it shows how people want real change, the kind of change Sarah Palin was talking about in her recent interviews.

Hopefully we can get rid of Deval Patrick next year.

249 Leahy is an idiot. We don't interrogate terrorists to get confessions - we do it to get intelligence.

250
There are a lot of knocks on Eric Holder but no one really thinks he's a stupid man.

He's wrong about everything. Still think a man who's wrong about everything is smart? Drew, who do you think is smarter, Sarah Palin or Eric Holder?

251

This is from the link R.C. gave me. This was 2yrs ago. So WHY IN HELL weren't these guys nailed then?

Is the military so slow?

If you had been paying attention, you'd realize it took so long because every time they had a system ready to go, defense cocksuckers like Holder would run to a federal court with another reason to delay the trials.

The goal was to run out the clock so that the next president could find a politic way to pardon the war criminals they were representing.

To quote the immortal Sideshow Bob: "You can't keep the Democrats out of the White House forever; and when they get in, I'm back on the street! With all of my criminal buddies!"

252

That is great news.  I live close to Lynn, but hadn't paid attention to race there.

Together we can get rid of Cadlillac Deval!

Go Baker, Go.  We need Cahill to disappear or agree to be Baker's Lt. Governor for a guaranteed slam dunk.

253 Rob, having that minority cross the street to street to stay away from "crazy" veterans and service members might be a good thing. Remember hippy's smell. The real problem is that insane hippy sitting on an elected school board.

254 Right now his approach is, "we'll review and make a decision later". Well, the US civilian court system doesn't work that way. All the protections that come with it start the second you are in custody, not when the executive feels like it. Excellent DrewM. This needs to be shouted from the rooftops. And lawyers like Holder will use this exact thing to try to claim the government has violated their 'rights'.

Leftie tards will just say it is all Bush's fault. If he hadn't started a Neocon war for oil we wouldn't have these complexities to deal with.

And I bet a critic I deal with on my blog will add that Obama isn't a real liberal anyway, people should have voted for Nader.

So it is never liberals faults. QED

262

On Topic.

Our firm won a SJC appeal for a client whose statements made after a crime scene had been secured were ruled inadmissible. 

Under this new policy of granting rights to combatants, how will military personnel be able to determine when the battle field is secured?  Is it ever? 

263

The truly amazing part of the Graham/Holder exchange was the stark contrast between the concrete "yes or no" question by Graham versus the nebulous and weakness of the "it depends" answers by Holder.

264 Graham is my senator and every time I decide to vote against him he pulls a stunt like this! Vote for him...vote against him....

He is my Senator as well, unfortunately. I voted against him as I told him in the last letter I sent him after he supported the terrorists in 2005.

As I said in the earlier posts you can not go by grandstanding rhetoric in these damn hearings.  Hearings are worthless and designed only to get the Senator in front of a TV camera.  Wahtch what he does, not what he says.

And asshole Graham, well he gets a two-fer here. Fox is putting him on for some more coverage now.

Why is it that Fox puts two or three squishy RINOs and 4 or 5 communist Dems on for every conservative. Yeah, fair and balanced that.

Either they give OBL and KSM the same rights as Bernie Madoff or they don't. If they don't, they set precedent for other defendants to have their constitutional rights ignored. And good luck picking a jury.  Anyone know what the Arab word is for the practice of pretending to be something they aren't so they can fool an enemy? 

You know, the 9/11 killers also hit Washington D.C. Why don't they have the trial there?

319 GALLUP POLLING BS UPDATE:

Exactly how much is the Obama Administration paying Gallup to keep his Approval Rating at 50% or higher?

For about the tenth time, Obama's Rating on Gallup has plummeted to 50% only to hit an brick wall.  Then, after 3 days or so, he rallies back up between 4 and 6 points and the process begins again.

3 days ago, Obama's rating on Gallup fell 3 points in one day to 50%.  Anyone who follows polling knows that when you fall that far in one day on a 3 day moving average poll, you typically get some over-blow and drop another point or two the next day.

Nope, Gallup has had Obama right at 50% for 3 days now after falling 3 points in one day.  Statistically a challenge to say the least.  The fact that this exact same scenario has occurred numerous times gives on a serious, 'hmmmm' moment.

I expect Gallup is taking money from the WH to pull this off simply because no one else will pay them for their services after coming in 17th in 2008 as to accuracy (a dismal showing for an 'independent' pollster).  Of course, this is only my opinion so take it for what it's worth.

320

I don't like those lazy bastids.

On the bright side of things, they are leaning to the right.

Well, ya know, just sayiing.

321 Anyone notice why the Leftist hate Sarah?

Because she is a hard working, smart, babe.  Who was not programed by the left.
They sure hate her because they want the first female president to be a far left lesbo.  Like Hilary.

322 This is an example of what happens when you remove a member from the groupthink 'yes-men chorus' and expose him to a dose of reality.  Now, if we can get a long line of "hard, pipe-hittin' ni**as" to go medieval on the rest of the bunch, we might stand a decent chance of putting the levers of  government back in the hands of rational adults, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.

323 Anyone know what the Arab word is for the practice of pretending to be something they aren't so they can fool an enemy? taqqiya

324 Sure is comforting to have a bunch of new-age, metrosexual wimps and pansies running the show here in America, ain't it?

329
There, is that better?

not really

330

Those that are arguing whether this decision to try KSM in New York falls on Obama's shoulders rather than Holder's are overlooking one detail. The real blame falls on the shoulders of the 52% that voted for the most radical, left wing President in the history of the country. The MFM tried mightily to camoflauge that information, but it was there and 52% couldn't be bothered to pay attention. Although I'll bet you that those same motherfuckers could tell you in painstaking detail all about the contestants on American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.

Preserving your freedom is Hard Work. Being fucking stupid makes it harder.

Will KSM be taken to NY by one of the Biden limo drivers?

332 I hate people who change font color!

333 I hate people who change font color!

That's actually quite ghey looking.

334

I'll ask again, and hope that some Republicans in the Senate ask too.  How will this tactic of Obama's improve our image in the world with respect to the rule of law?  (No, I do not accept that it needs improvement, but just hypothetically...)

1. Will it be because the President of the United States declares a defendant guilty before trial, and promises the citizens of the United States that he will be put to death?

2. Or is it because the President of the United States declares that the trial's outcome is of no consquence, and that the defendant will remain incarcerated, presumably forever, even if acquitted?

The political and media chorus that accused George W. Bush of destroying the Constitution for exercising powers specifically granted him, and confirmed by the Congress, is suddenly struck silent and averts its eyes!

This is what happens when you elect thugs.  They (duh) behave like thugs and everyone who supports them becomes a participant in thuggery!  This is how nations degenerate from the rule of law, to the rule of powerful men.  It is starting to happen before our eyes.

The Democrat Party must be quarantined until it can be reformed and purged of the criminal class that now infests it.  That should be the mission of every honest American the next time and every time they cast their vote until the deed is done.  At this point our nation is in such grave peril that I would not vote for a Democrat for dogcatcher if she was my Mother!

335 Yeah, I'd much rather see Rudy in Washington D.C. than in Albany.

He'd be a fine senator.


BS, his RINO gun grabbin ass needs to stay in NY.

My theory is that they're afraid of her. Not because she's a strong woman or any of that nonsense, but because she was ruthless toward corrupt politicians in Alaska. Some people are genuinely scared, and they ought to be.

342 For about the tenth time, Obama's Rating on Gallup has plummeted to 50% only to hit an brick wall.  Then, after 3 days or so, he rallies back up between 4 and 6 points and the process begins again.

Well we must keep in mind that a significant chunk of folks in this country that fancy themselves as "independents" voted for Toonces. These are generally people who couldn't make a meaningful decision to save their lives. They wake up each day astride the political fence, lick their index finger and thrust it defiantly into the air to see which way the wind is blowing that day.

343 Here's the other problem I have with O and the penis-Holder's statements of verdict first, trial second.  What's to stop Iran from doing the same to those idiot hikers they captured and calling it moral/judicial equivalency. "We're just doing what your doing".  And they would be correct.

Well, the only exception I take to what you said is that they are entitled to be Mirandized whether or not they are interrogated. That is not supported by case law. They are only entitled to the profelactic of Miranda if they are subject to custodial interrogation. Detaining them alone does not trigger it.

Monica Crowley on Fox the other night said it best, IMO. She said that Sarah represents an existential threat to all things liberal and as such, must be destroyed.

I think she nailed it. Sarah is anti-matter to the leftard's matter.

Anybody who has connections to Graham or Kyl get them to sponsor legislation immediately to strip the federal courts of jurisdiction to hear and determine these terror trials. 

Unless my memory fails me, Congress already passed such a law. Getting the courts to pay attention to it is the problem.

They need somebody to hate. And with Bush retiring they needed a new witch to burn.

Yeah, I saw the reason. But still...why make the kid strip?

356 I love italic sausage

357 Can't you all see?  This is win, win, win for me.  If KSM gets the death penalty then I take credit for killing a disaster-causing man (my least favorite option).  If he walks, then I take credit from my brethren Muslims who will undoubtedly thank me for making America into pussytown.  If another terrorist attack occurs while the trial is underway then I blame Bush.

358

No way dude, I totally am. My pet Chewy told me.

359

If President Bush had made a comment that a defendant would be convicted and put to death regardless of the trial, countless American lives would have been lost..............trampled to death by the stampede of ACLU lawyers rushing to the microphones and TV cameras to denounce him. I guess we should be grateful that it was a Democrat that said that.

Hey, that would make a good new statistic for these fuckers. The number of American lives saved or not killed...............

360 #194-
"Actually, even if they WERE signatories, by targeting civilians, failing to wear distinctive insignia (hiding as civilians), committing false surrender and many, many other acts, they're not protected by the Geneva Conventions.

We're actually doing damage to the Geneva Conventions by giving these animals room and board -- we're rewarding war crimes with a status equivalent to a burglar, while a fundamental premise of the GCs is that sides that commit war crimes as a matter of policy are no longer protected and may (arguably SHOULD) be executed upon capture."

I have been saying that forever. What these liberal douche nozzles don't understand, is by demanding terrorists have Geneva convention rights they are directly responsible for civilian deaths caused by terrorists. The moment they hide among civilians, the moment the fight in civilian clothes they should be marked for extermination as the Geneva convention allows.Anything else is completely rewarding war crimes and just endangers civilians in the future. The left wants the Geneva convention applied to these scumbags? Cool, 2 bullets in the fucking forehead as the geneva convention allows, and no frigging US constitutional protections.

361 After KSM is acquitted, will it be time to burn DC to the ground?

362 I was looking up for a pictures of Nagasaki for a post listing it in the comments as future democratic polling places to show what the dumb-ass leftist are going to end up with since the prime objects AlQ wants to hit our democratic controlled cities.  Just to make them wake up and prevent it.
What do I find?  Far left blogs blaming the military for killing civilians when they did not have to.  After all, Japan just bombed Navy targets at Pearl, not civilians.  No mention of how many US soldiers and marines would have died if we had to invade Japan.  No mention of the mass murder of civilians in places they invaded.  Nothing to see here.  Move along.

363 Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) says Obama is "bowing down" to Republicans. He said he is "getting tired of saving Obama's can in the White House."

364

359, 358, 354

Ok, which one of the three Obama's is the real one? They all have such nice pant creases, I can't tell.

365 Graham's good at cross-examination. A lot of lawyers are. And lawyers make lousy witnesses, as Holder showed. Drew's definitely onto something re equal protection. Once, as in the KSM (and presumably UBL) trial, the USA puts an enemy combatant captured overseas on trial in US District Court, w/ fully panoply of constitutional rights attending, its ability to put any other enemy combatant captured overseas on trial in any less burdensome a forum (ie, military commissions) is compromised. The courts may eventually square this circle somehow, but right noww I d can't see how. If it was all enemey combatants caught overseas in commissions and anybody caught in US in federal district court, the Constitutional issues would be much less challenging. Hell, the government's been arguing for 5 years that the full panoply of constitutional rights don't apply to these guys, but has with this decision all at once undermined that argument. There's still an argument, I suppose, that the rights KSM et al benefit from in federal district court are negative (ie, checks on what the court can do to anyone who apperas before it) rather than positive (inherent to KSM et al as, i don't know, maybe human beings), but that's a very, very shaky distinction. All this likely won't effect the KSM trial too much, but it will significantly effect other enemy combatants captured overseas who are facing military commissions. Why don't they get what KSM gets? Seriously, it's tough to come up w/ a good faith answer to that. I don't envy the miliatry prosecutors at GTMO who are going to have to answer that question, or the military judges who are going to have to rule on it. I'd call this an unintended consequence if I didn't think Holder knew exactly what he was doing to the military tribunal system when he decided to send KSM to NYC. He effectively destroyed it. And he knows he did.

366 "Obama is "bowing down" to Republicans"

I thought he was bowing down to the Japanese.

367

FDR had the captured German saboteurs questioned, then executed.  The courts tried to butt in, and were told to stuff it.  That seems like ample precedent to me, and Obama would gain about 20 points in popularity if he'd man up and do the same. 

As Reagan said, there's no end to the good that can be accomplished as long as you don't care about who gets the credit. Alas, our current president would rather be liked than respected.  He's learning the hard way that weakness is always despised.

 

 

368 This the best venue for him to be tried in. It is symbolic of what he has done and the price he willl pay for his crime. It is the best of our justice system. This is just further shrieking from you right wing wingnuts.

369 Ok, which one of the three Obama's is the real one? They all have such nice pant creases, I can't tell.

373 A new thread Ace was doing some math, but he left a red tag open somewhere - so those of you bitching about color and italics might want to wait on the porch for a while.

374 It is nice to talk to intelligent people some days.  At least some of us are not complete dumb asses who think they are smart, but have no common sense.
Case in point:  Why do so called intelligent people leave their car keys in the lock after they open the drunk?  How many times do they close the trunk and get the keys stuck in the trunk?  It is very common.  I can't make this stupid stuff up.  It is mind boggling.

375 Re#88 Dave

"Obama and Holder know exactly what they are doing.
Putting these animals in civilian court is basically a huge middle finger to Bush/Cheney and the War on Terror. A bone tossed to the leftist anti-America base of the democrat party.
While I don't doubt that Obama and Holder are affirmative action punks, these fuckers are smart enough in this instance to know exactly what they are doing"

I'm pretty sure that The One thinks he knows what he is doing, after all he won.
But I'm not so sure whether he really understands the implications of what he has done.  Whatever victory he thinks he has in moving KSM's trial to NY, the fact is that the very notion of putting POW's into Federal court is now being tested.
They now have to deliver.
Failing to get a convection is a guilty verdict against Obama and the idea that military prisoners can be dealt with inside a civilian legal system.  Does Holder really understand the damage that this trial can do to America's intelligence activities?
I'm beginning to think that he doesn't.

As much as I hate to say it: This trial has to happen.
America and the rest of the world needs to know whether this can work or not.

376 Perhaps the most relevant part of the exchange between Holder and Graham is the exposure of the Administration's hidden agenda. In the process of being backed into a corner when trying to defend the 9/11 trial court and venue, Holder shows his cards; this  circus created by the Administration is an attempt to send a message to the world-(we are a fair, just, and foolish nation). 

Mr. Obama, Mr. Holder, there is evil in this world---protect the American people from it.

377 Exactly how much is the Obama Administration paying Gallup to keep his Approval Rating at 50% or higher?

Its really amazing what one line of code can do isn't it?

if (Approval < 0.5) Approval = 0.5;

I should be a pollster knocking down the phat cash.

378

Times like this are when I have to remind myself that my own knee-jerk desire to "run the RINOs out" might be throwing some babies out with the bathwater.

As much as Graham and McCain drive me nuts on issues like immigration and Sotomayor, both he and Maverick are fairly dependable on national security issues (with the obvious exceptions of amnesty and "torture").  In my more lucid and thoughtful moments (OK - when I'm sober) I have to recognize that even a RINO is most often better than an actual Democrat. 

Props to Graham - he gets 1 "free knife in my back" card for this one.

 

 

379 After KSM is acquitted, will it be time to burn DC to the ground?

Actually, in an odd sort of way, a KSM acquittal would be a good thing in the macro "arc of national history" POV.  It would starkly demonstrate to the public in no uncertain terms the absolute bankruptcy and ineffectiveness of the Obamunist approach to handling terrorists.

Sometime it pays to "lose" a particular battle to win a wider war.

380

As much as Graham and McCain drive me nuts on issues like immigration and Sotomayor, both he and Maverick are fairly dependable on national security issues (with the obvious exceptions of amnesty and "torture"). 

 

Nope. They have the opposite problem to the Dems. The Dems want to treat the WoT as purely a law enforcement issue. McCain and Graham want to treat it as purely a foreign war with a nation state and to treat the captured terrorists as POW's. The problems we are seeing now with KSM are due in  large part to McCain and Graham. Andy McCarthy has frequently pointed out that the extraordianry legal protectons the terrorists enjoy is due to those two men.

381 36  Too bad they didn't think about this situation logically - even "politically" logically.  This KSM trial will backfire on them - badly.  In fact, I think the Wookie should start real estate shopping in Chicago while her hubby figures out where to build the presidential library, such as it will be.

Hear, hear!

But, McShame and Grahamnesty converge with the left on "torture". They like to call minor emotional trauma, "torture", for whatever reason. Horror movie directors need to watch out.

384 .................then were the NYC trials off German U-boat commanders who sank civilian merchant ships, and the LA trials of Samari pilots who flew planes into navy ships and Japaneses troops who executed civilians in the Philippines and all over.

What?.............Never mind.  Wrong war.  Cause to the leftists, this aint a war.

385 As much as I hate to say it: This trial has to happen. America and the rest of the world needs to know whether this can work or not. --------------------------------------------------------------- So the World needs to see the USA make a total joke of their justice system? Sorry Ray, if the World needs to see this then to Hell with them. Terrorists/enemy combatants should exist for one reason and one reason only. To be the catalyst for new interrogation techniques and for keeping executioners in business.

386 I wonder if Holder/Obama are actually going to go through with this now.

If its apparent to every third party observer that KSM might be acquitted, you'd think that some of the career Justice Department lawyers on the ground in charge of getting a prosecution here will quickly come to that conclusion too.

388 Yes, it's amazing how Graham always manages to do something kick-ass like this riiiight after he's been running around doing his Mini-McCain-Mavrick-Rino bullshit. Also, per Dennis Miller: Eric Holder="Stedman"

389

If Obama or Holder was arrested held and not given their Miranda Rights nor the services of a lawyer.

What would happen to the charges?

 

A They would be dropped for violations of the defendants civil rights

B)They would be dropped for violations of the defendants civil rights.

C)They would be dropped for violations of the defendants civil rights.

"There is simply no basis in law for Obama and Holder's theory here. It's simply a political decision divorced from law. "

Mr. Pink, reporters make good money, if they work really, really hard. It's hard also to get a full time gig with benefits. Pretty good job tho!

Bugliosi was an incredible prosecutor and defense lawyer back in the day. Somewhere along the line he bought into the left wing loon side of things. Books advocating: prosecute Bush for the Iraq war, Bush stole the election, another book about how Clinton's impeachment was a debacle, etc.

Not sure what happened. He gave an interview about the Manson murders a few months ago and seemed on track, but somewhere some of the wheels fell off.

There are a lot of knocks on Eric Holder but no one really thinks he's a stupid man. Misguided? Sure. Diagnosably retarded? No

I don't think that KSM's acquittal or non-acquittal really figures into Obama/Holders plans. Their eyes on fixed on other targets.

397

How is it he can be such an extreme moderate faggot, mewling platitudes and generalities in that faggy little Carolina drawl of his and then turn around and completely eviscerate Holder?

He does this from time to time. Just when you think he's a total pussy Democrat shill he'll actually act like the loyal opposition to shore up his Republican bonafides. Then promptly piss it all away again by acting like McCain Jr.

I still don't trust the little twerp. He won't get on any Sunday Morning shows making an utter fool out of high ranking Democrats.

We can all expect to see this little wussy get mavericky in the near future.

398

And to point 3 by Ace- Holder tries to get off the hot seat and gather himself by talking about an OBL capture scenario and avoid the kernel of the question. So, they'll yip yap all day about OBL to avoid having to actually explain anything.

Sort of like:

Me (to my cat): Why is the cabinet door open?

Cat: See, the door has hinges and when you pull on the door the hinges allow the door to swing out so that you can get what you need from the cabinet.

Me: I know about hinges you stupid cat. Why is the frikken door open?

Cat: I think you'll agree with me when I say that the hinges are in excellent working condition or else the door would not have been able to swing out for ease of access. But more to the point I think you are driving at is that hinges sometimes do not work properly and need to be replaced. Luckily for us, these are some safe, stout, reliable hinges and they should continue to work flawlessly for years to come.

The standard of intellect we expect from our leader has fallen so low that if they can just figure out how to staunch the spittle and drool that flows from their lips long enough to get a fully formed question out that actually makes some sense we all act like they are Thomas Jefferson.  They are not.  They are idiots and dangerous ones at that.  Graham is like the guy at the retard halfway house who can tie his own shoes.  He is a genius compared only to his peers.  He looks perfectly normal only why doing his one trick and then reverts to form when he sticks his wiener in the light socket to see if it will glow.

And Leahy?  That he can say what he did without fear of being called on it can only be attributable to the fact that our press corp has been wholly compromised by the enemy and needs to be put down to the last man.
