I see what Bush is trying to do - he is trying to force the hand of the weak players on the so-called "torture" issue, but telling them "OK, I'll serve up the 3 people we have directly responsible for 9/11 - you want to give them right to trial? Go ahead, explain to the american people why they should get that.".
Its a gutsy move, but its not without risks as I posted above. These 3 guys are going to tell their ACLU lawyers about what the CIA did to them (waterboarding), and the MSM is going to only play that part of the story.
This is going to be the flash point for this whole issue now folks - here it is. Buckle up.
Hmmm, interesting theory. A little Texas "hold 'em" poker (pun intended.)
I can see him announcing he'll try these murders in a CLOSED military tribunal...no press, no observers. They'll be appointed military lawyers. The proceeding will be classified in accordance with the evidence used against them.
If found guilty, they'll face a firing squad.
The so-called "moderate" republicans, MSM and all dims will be in full frenzy and the WOT politics will be crystalized for the voting public in November.
If you are right...then it just ups my respect for President Bush because he does what he "believes"...and pursues it.
He believes that these are war criminals, prisoners of war, whatever you want to call them...but NOT to be pampered and treated like American citizens that just did a bad deed.
He is fighing his own party on this...but NOT the people in his party that he cares about, IMHO>
Keep on keeping on President Bush, we need you out there telling the American people what's urgently important to our security.
