GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba -- Military judges on Wednesday will consider motions by the Obama administration to suspend the Guantanamo war crimes trials for 120 days during a review of the system for prosecuting suspected terrorists.
The motions, filed late Tuesday at the direction of President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, will be heard in the cases of five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks and of Canadian Omar Khadr, who is accused of killing an American soldier with a grenade in Afghanistan in 2002....

...Relatives of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, who were also at the base to observe the hearings, have said they oppose any further delay in the trials of the men charged in the case.

Hey, I’m in the Blue Ridge Mountains of S.W. Virginia and SO glad I’m not near any major city.
In the Daily Mail UK today is an article where one of the 9/11 terrorists declares his glee over the success of the attacks. I hope Obama is feeling good to know the victim’s families will not see justice for their murdered loved ones (oh yeah...and they were Americans by the way Mr. Obama).
His mother was a communist loving person. She was raised in Seattle in one of the most RED areas there. She went to something known as The Little Red Church because all the members of said church were communist. Her high school is far left. Teachers are KNOWN communist. Her mother went too college to learn Russian language. His mother and his leftist grandmother are the ones who raised him. He has been indoctrinated from birth on the socialist and communist way. HE IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE NOW.
Sorry friend. You are hung up on the HOPE wagon. He spouts the HOPE crap, but he is not for hope. HE IS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE. That means, communism. Not God loving, God fearing, change. Communist loving, American freedom and liberty hating. Obama is a Chicago gangland, street thug. Nothing less than. Hope all you might. Your hope is misplaced, and is wasted energy. You need to prepare for what is coming out of this government too the best of your ability. Because that CHANGE is coming. You are just not going to like it. And Obama is not going to change. He is what he is, a Marxist. Raised by Marxist. Too be a Marxist. Plane and simple as that.
If these people have a right to a trial under the Constitution, then they have a right to a “speedy trial” by a jury of their “peers”, (i.e., other terrorists). By delaying these terrorists trials by 120 days, Obama is violating their “constitutional” rights.
That's so "Old School"! Those 9-11 families are so out of touch. 0bama knows that if you just treat terrorists nice they will be our friends.
barf... /sarc
That's going to be a huge problem with this idiot, you can never really know what he's really about as he's always got to play to some group interest.
Though I think most of us here know what he really is, it's easy to get distracted.
Obama making his decisions by erring on the side of America’s enemies from day one.
What saddens me the MOST of all this, is that so many brave men and women over the past 60 years have fought the communists on battle fields around the world too keep this country free and now my fellow Americans have elected a damned communist as our president. Makes me sick to my stomach. Makes me want to just throw up everytime I hear his puking name. I could not even watch the stinking sports on ESPN this morning because all they kept going to was stinking stories about the punk-jerk and his love of sports, yada, yada, yada, I finally turned it off. I was sick of it. I am over sick of the love fest now. There is NO human person that I am going to kiss his ass. There is NO human person on this planet that is going to bring me to my knees. They can kill my body, but they DO NOT OWN MY SOUL!!! Only God and Jesus Christ owns my soul!!! Not a Chicago gangland jerk-punk and his communist pals in the media and in Sodom on the Potomac.
I just posted something similar that we have to remember what this guy is and not get distracted.
All this hope and lets give him a chance and face it he's our President now crap, FEH, not for me.
The man is Marxist to the core as evidenced by he associates and he has willing and able comrade in the Congress, we need to watch these people like hawks.
Why???...I ask you?
Acting out some emotional tantrum?
Does he have a sense of humanitarian indignation, or worse yet, cultural/moral common ground with people who want to kill (they admit this themselves) helpless school children?
We have a regular half-wit in the WH! An intellectually and morally irresponsible jacka$#!!!
Expect more.
Obama doesn’t have to do anything more. I’m already pissed off.
Didn’t Clinton first open up this little “holding area” for refugees from Haiti? A Freeper mentioned this but I wish I had bookmarked that comment! Anyone else know about this??
That is correct RetiredArmy. I saw this FR thread Schumer: Obama won’t lead left-wing government yesterday morning and wanted to comment "don't hold your breath" on it. Looks like it didn't take long for Hussein to take a sharp dive to the loony left agenda.
The 9-11 families are not paramount, the ACLU and Move.on traitors are.
If we’re attacked during the next four years, all the blame goes to 0 and his ilk for his incompetence. Bush kept the nation safe. Let’s see if Obama can do the same. With stupid decisions like this, I doubt it.
would you leave your job right now if you had a philosophical issue with your boss or would you continue to cash your large check and gather material for an eventual best-selling book?
Lets see, it does sound allot like Jan 2001 doesn't it?
• Bird Flu outbreak in China
• Economy is bad, very bad
• Manufacturing struggling to stay afloat
• Unemployment up, layoffs top the news
• New President takes over
Only one thing we are missing, and with this weak-knee rookie in the WH, you can bet planning is in the works to test him - just like Joe Biden said would happen.
Looks like Heaven is displeased with us.
Terrorists will not fear someone who thinks they have Constitutional rights.
