An Open Letter-Petition to President Obama,
In Response to 9/11 Terror Trials
Dear President Obama,
On behalf of thousands of family members of the 2,996 innocent Americans killed in the World Trade Center towers, The Pentagon building, and United Flight 93 which went down in Shanksville, PA, as well as the families of the thousands of troops killed or wounded in the Afghan and Iraq wars that followed this awful terrorist attack, we would like to…Read the Rest of the Letter

We don’t need to tell you again why this is a bad idea; MAF has been talking about why Guantanamo Bay is a perfectly suitable place to try and detain the terrorists since the beginning of the year when MAF returned from there.
Our delegation spent 3 days touring the camps and found it to be a clean and humane facility, run like clockwork, by a team of dedicated, professional troops. Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, who visited the camps several months after us, came to the same conclusion. Further bolstering GITMO’s position, Obama himself, not long ago, thought the military commissions would be fine.
But despite finding GITMO and the military commissions there to be favorable, Obama is still committed to closing GITMO and trying the terrorists in civilian court, trying to please his left wing base and weak-kneed foreign governments.
Not to be silenced, despite the fact that Obama has completely ignored them in his presidency, 9/11 families, victims of terror, and Gold star families, who lost family members in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, were quick to respond.
9/11 Families and Gold Star Families have
written this petition to President Obama.
Sign now so we can force Obama
to rescind his horrible decision.
The family of journalist Daniel Pearl, who was captured and executed by terrorists, purportedly by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed HIMSELF, expressed that they were dissatisfied with Obama’s decision. They, like all the 9/11 families we have contacted, believe the terrorists should be tried by the military at GITMO, not on sacred U.S. soil with full constitutional rights reserved for Americans.
Innocent Daniel Pearl and his Killer, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
It’s just a slap in the face to anyone who has lost a family member because of this terrorist Jihad. Whether your loved one was on the USS Cole, in one of the trade center towers, aboard Flight 93, in the battlefields of Iraq or Afghanistan, or even one of the unlucky troops who died in the Fort Hood shootings, or any other place where terrorists have struck.
But remember, as we are watching these events unfold, still reeling from the trauma caused by the Fort Hood terrorist, Nadal Hassan, and now having to deal with the news of Obama’s terror trial decision, it’s easy to get mixed up in the news cycle and forget something very important.
American security is at stake. The terrorist will make a New York civilian trial into a circus and a recruiting tool for more terrorists. American intelligence secrets will be discovered. This is a bad decision and hopefully the protest from the American people will make the President keep the terrorists at Gitmo and under the jurisdiction of military tribunals.
We can’t let Obama get away with bringing terrorists to U.S. soil, not without voicing our strong opposition! Help MAF fund efforts to push back against this dangerous idea!
