Let's Give Terrorists a Podium

My guess is that the only people that will be surprised by this will be the Obama administration and the Obama Justice department.

My Way News - Lawyer: 9/11 defendants want platform for views

Lawyer: 9/11 defendants want platform for views

NEW YORK (AP) - The five men facing trial in the Sept. 11 attacks will plead not guilty so that they can air their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday.

Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for accused terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, said the men would not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but "would explain what happened and why they did it."

The U.S. Justice Department announced earlier this month that Ali and four other men accused of murdering nearly 3,000 people in the deadliest terrorist attack in the U.S. will face a civilian federal trial just blocks from the site of the destroyed World Trade Center.

Ali, also known as Ammar al-Baluchi, is a nephew of professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

Mohammed, Ali and the others will explain "their assessment of American foreign policy," Fenstermaker said.

"Their assessment is negative," he said.

Fenstermaker met with Ali last week at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. He has not spoken with the others but said the men have discussed the trial among themselves.

Its up to the judge to decide what is pertinent to their defense. He can shut down any grand standing. Most judges do

This WILL, as has already been noted, be the BIGGEST MISTAKE any sitting President has EVER made in the history of the United States of America.

If obama were to be impeached and thrown out of office TODAY, it wouldn't be TOO SOON.

Oh yeah... as the WORLD looks on... you moron liberals are going to GIVE the terrorists RIGHTS, which INCLUDES "freedom of speech," and then TAKE THEM AWAY?

You're fucking cracked. These terrorists are going to turn this shit into the biggest circus this country has ever seen, and it's going to take YEARS and MILLIONS of dollars.

So will they allow cameras in the court room?

Circus is right. This trial is being held in order to deflect attention away from the policies that are causing Obama's poll numbers to fall. They want the nation to be talking about torture, Dick Cheney and how terrible the United States has behaved under George Bush. The nation will be encourage to talk about anything other than the current economy, the health care takover, sky high tax increases, the deficit and we should certainly not talk about the people that died on 9/11. You can bet those victims will NOT be the focus of this trial.

Regardless, this is just another BAD political decision on part of the barry camp, and it WILL back fire. We're already seeing it.

so then you have no problem with these "trials" being used a propaganda platforms by terrorists.....no one is afraid of what they are going to say, its already been said by others.....but for you to condone the use of courts as a platform for terrorists to lambast america is one of the most stupid and unamerican positions anyone can take....

the courts are for justice, but to liberals like you, they are great platforms for terrorists to denounce america.....

pathetic

 

[Claudette]

Totally agree Pale Rider.

This is the absolute worst decision ever made by an AG and his boss. This would have been a slam dunk in a Military Tribunal. The dirtbags already said they would plead guilty. But Oh No. The asshole AG has to prove to the world how great our legal system is. What a fucking moron this guy is. He is taking a chance that these dirtbags will be aquitted, then what????? Do these dirtbags walk out of the courtroom so that all those who want this 3 ring circus trial can feel good. Can feel like justice was served ant these assholes got a fair trial??

Big incentive for shooting em on site.

You are still going to get your kangaroo court convictions anyway. Who the fuck do you think their speeches will sway? would you rather someone just take em out back after a secret court hearing and shoot them in the back of the head which is, ironically, the same reason you silly bastards cry about Castro? If anything, letting them speak conveys the stark difference between OUR culture and THEIR culture when it comes to allowing personal expression and defending against accusations. But, hey, if you want to act like they do and silence the opposition right before sending them to death then so be it. You people were never really quick on the uptake anyway.

You assholes had your chance and you fucked it up. If Bush and Cheney hadn't acted like Americans had stooped to the intelligence and honor levels of these dirtbags, we wouldn't even be in this situation. I mean how fucking long does it take to try these supsected terrorists. IF, as you say, these cases were slamdunks, why were they still being detained without convictions when Obama took over? IF they were truly slamdunks, shouldn't they be tried, convicted and dead by now?

Obama is not going to be surprised.

This man is not a proud American. He didn't sit in Wright's church for 20 years because he is proud of this nation and his action speak well to this!

This will not be forgotten in 2012.

Obama can go straight to hell.

As far as the Obama appeasers claiming that a judge will stop grandstanding! These pigs have been granted the same rights as citizens, so they will be permitted to speak, they will be able to state the justification for their actions.

So these Obama appeasers can go to hell right along with him.

I cannot believe that a American President would slap his own people in the face like this. To dig the pain in even deeper for so many.

This man needs to be kicked out of Washington, if not the nation!

Mike

Losing the case will be acceptable as long as Bush is humilated. And everyone knows that embarrassing the former prez will make us a better, stronger, safer country. Unbelievable. They'd rather be right than want what's right. The moral equivalence here is more than pathetic. It's frightening. I'm not sure who they hate more.
