Obama Blunders with 9/11 Terrorist Trials
Not Learned from History – Being “Soft” on Terrorism
SACRAMENTO, CA – Move America Forward today joined with New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and criticized President Obama for being soft on terrorism and repeating the mistakes of the previous administrations by treating the 9/11 terrorists as criminals rather than enemy combatants that are waging a war against our country.
“We can barely control our outrage that Barack Obama has decided to bring the mastermind and four other terrorist accomplices of the 9/11 attacks on the United States to New York City for a civilian trial where they will get ALL of the rights of American citizens,” said Shawn Callahan, Executive Director.
“It took the horrific attacks of 9/11 for us to realize that we are in a war with Islamic terrorism. This isn’t a case of a criminal gang operating in Chicago. This is a worldwide network that is out to destroy every vestige of freedom we have. It is shocking and appalling that Obama and his left-wing Attorney General, Eric Holder, want to treat these murderous terrorists as common criminals with full constitutional protections.
“Do you think we should have brought the Nazi war crimes trials to the U.S. so they could have had the full protection of the Bill of Rights? Of course NOT, and it is ridiculous that Obama is now treating these enemy combatants as common criminals. He is more concerned about placating liberals and protecting the civil rights of terrorists than he is in protecting American security. It is simply shameful.”
There are a number of procedural concerns. The rules of search and seizure and chain of evidence do not translate to enemies captured on the battlefield in the Middle East. It is very possible that much of the evidence against these terrorists will not be allowed in court. Defendants in civilian trials are entitled to all of the evidence, which means the terrorists will get to see how American intelligence officials have been able to piece together information on al Qaida. It does not make any sense to allow terrorists to find out our means of tracking them down.
Obama doesn’t seem to be all too worried about it, but Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City Mayor, recalled that after the 1993 bombing of the WTC, the subsequent trial cost “millions and millions of dollars” and he also said “Anyone that tells you this doesn’t create additional security problems isn’t telling you the truth.”
“Obama’s decision to bring terrorists to U.S. soil puts American lives at risk by making New York a major target for terrorists again!” asserted Callahan.
