The Government has raised the number of detainees at Gitmo that they will be seeking the death penalty for to the enormous and shocking number of seven. The ACLU are quick and ready to defend these warriors!
Backed by a slate of prominent legal figures, including former Attorney General Janet Reno and former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director William Webster, the ACLU has assembled a team of top civilian attorneys to supplement the military defense counsel assigned to represent Guantanamo’s “high-value detainees.” …
The effort significantly adds to the legal forces that over the past seven years have challenged the administration’s plan to run an offshore court that provides defendants fewer rights than civilian trials or courts-martial. The addition of the ACLU in particular, with its large financial resources, is a major shot in the arm for those who oppose the tribunal system.
Exciting stuff! The “shot in the arm” talk from the ACLU is probably an example of their less than sensitive side. Its witty though, I’ll give em that. See-Dubya pretty much covers this as good as it gets. I’m hoping that the reason they call these murdering creeps “high value”, because it is a high value that we make sure they are dead. It is also wonderful that Janet Reno of Waco and Elian Gonzales fame will be on the defense team. I think its just cozy how the ACLU defends the very idiots that want to destroy freedom. Isn’t that keen? I mean, any organization claiming to defend freedom and liberty should be defending the very people trying to destroy it. Right? I mean…that makes sense. Doesn’t it? Clue in…it isn’t freedom the ACLU defends…it is “absolutism.”
Pssssstttt….its called absolutism! Its been the sabotage of many civilizations.
The Barnyard asks:
Wasn’t Ramsey Clark also Bill Clinton’s AG at one point, he who joined Saddam’a defense team? It is pretty clear at this point which side the Democrats and their base are on and it ain’t America’s. Can I question their patriotism now?
Thanks John McCain!
TAKE NO PRISONERS; Kill ‘EM WHERE YOU FIND THEM!
Disgusting how these traitors cannot be disbarred.
That is the most disturbing aspect of McCain's candidacy... his misguided desire to close Club Gitmo. Surely he must be aware that the ACLU will do everything it can to have the terrorists there out on bail as soon as they touch a US prison.
Our only hope is that Bush does the right thing and orders each of the detainees to be executed immediately.
When did Webster run the FBI?
sss
wasn’t he booted the day Vince Foster was done in ?
it doesn’t make any difference now— these things have no chance of starting before 1/20/09, so the delay strategy has already worked.
sorry for previous erroneous post. He retired in 1991.
Yeah, actually only one of the several most disturbing aspects about McCain. But, he's all we got this go round.
About the GITMO prisoner's; one minor complication with releasing them is that their home countries for the most part refuse to accept their return. Sooo, maybe all these ex Secretaries of State, ex Attorney Generals, ACLU executives, etc, etc, should accept two or three in their homes. Of course it's also only fair that these people should be held liable for these terriorists acts while under their custody....
wrong again,FBI 1978-87, then CIA director until 1991.
Don't forget that many of those already released from Club Gitmo go back to being terrorists who will once again do everything they can to kill all of us. That is why Bush needs to do the right thing and execute all of them. It seems that no matter who is the next president, all of these scum will be released in one way or another, and the only way to protect us from them is to kill them all.
No, he is one of three that they have got this go around.
We don't have anyone
Webster was appointed by then Pres . Geo. H. W. Bush during his administration , I believe .
Webster went on to become the Director of the CIA , during Bush 41 .
I got it wrong , Wm Sessions was FBI director who resigned about the time of Vince Foster’s death. Back in the days of Alamo Girl’s files I knew all this stuff cold, but I’ve forgotten more than I would have thought.
Today's democrats and their allies of America's enemies in the ACLU are hell-bent on the destruction of the American republic.
Why on earth is he popping up on an ACLU roster of fools?
