Obama advisers say bin Laden can appeal to U.S. courts

Is this serious? Kerry and Clarke are pleased by this? I hope it happens. Bring him back. Let the American people see the liberal establishment bending over backwards to protect OBL. Let the ACLU spend millions defending him. If there is any hope for this country the majority of decent Americans will be outraged. If not......goodbye “greatest nation on earth”, hello “third world”.

Why don’t these guys just slap on a turban and take up the cause of jihad while they’re at it??

Good f’n grief...

[Michael.SF.]

No. Note the key words:

"If he were to be brought back,”

The decision applies only to those brought back to US controlled territory or land (5 libs on SCOTUS ruled that Club Gitmo qualifies). If instead US forces captured him and detained him at a POW camp controlled by another country, then Habeas Corpus would not be applicable.

Go the next step...Headline: “Obama pardons Usama”.

RUSH: This guy Obama is dangerous, because he's an idiot. I mean, really. They talk about how brilliant this guy is, that he went to Harvard and so forth. I did some checking. This guy never wrote anything at Harvard Law. He just had a law review. He never wrote anything -- probably on purpose, not to create a paper trail. Number two, he might not have been capable of it, for all I know. But I mean the things this guy says, the people he hangs around with, the associates he chooses to become part of his administration. Hell, he just went to somebody out there. He just hired somebody to be one of his big advisors on something who ended up quoting Winnie the Pooh! I'm not kidding. He quoted Winnie the Pooh in terms of foreign policy, how we have to behave. I'll find this. I've got four stacks here. Ah. Here it is today. It's Richard Danzig.

"Richard Danzig, who served as Navy secretary under President Clinton is tipped to become national security advisor in an Obama White House." By the way, I thought Obama was about all this change. He's getting a bunch of retreads from the Clinton administration to run the show here, just a full bunch of retreads. There's nothing new, here. Anyway, Danzig ran the Navy for Clinton and is going to be national security advisor in Obama's White House, "told a major foreign policy conference in Washington that the future of US strategy in the war on terrorism should follow a lesson from the pages of Winnie the Pooh, which can be shortened to this: 'If it is causing you too much pain, try something else.' Mr. Danzig told the Center for New American security, quote, 'Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security.'" Now, I got this from our old buddy Jim Geraghty at National Review Online at the Campaign Spot. Now, this sounds like something you'd see on a satire Web page. "'Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security.' He spelled out how American troops, spies, and anti-terrorist officials could learn key lessons by understanding the desire of terrorists to emulate super heroes like Luke Skywalker and the lust for violence of violent football fans." These are the people Obama seeks to surround himself with. He's a blooming idiot, folks.

Obama Will Follow Pooh Doctrine

Well, if Bush had nailed Osama by now, this wouldn’t even be a comment.

[SERKIT]

Here's a dose of Barry's flavor of change (predictable status quo (read 'Good 'ol Days') for LibDems):

Imagine Barry as Prez, Joe "The Plagiarist" Biden as Veep, John "F'n" Kerry as Sec of State with Joe Wilson back in the Diplomatic Corps, Jamie "The Wall" Gorleick as AG, and Richard Clarke and Valerie Plame back in the intelligence community, or head of CIA, And Bill and/or Hillary in the SCOTUS....

After you get done puking, hold your nose and pull the handle for John McCain.

That was easy!

I would agree on the condition that he turns himself in to a Southern local court and appears in person. Many of us have some ammo we have to use.

[peeps36]

Why in the world would we want to treat terrorist like the average criminal? We are at war with terrorist who wear no uniform so they can blend in with the innocent people they murder. There is no reason why they shouldn’t be tried in military court, as enemy combatants . We are definitely our own worst enemy.

Sen. Christopher Dodd’s father, who was one of the prosecutors at Nuremburg, would be rolling in his grave.

Be ashamed. Very ashamed.

I got too blown away early on to fully digest this.

Well, can you see my eyes rolling so badly they may get stuck up under my forehead.

[i_dont_chat]

I’m sure someone can photoshop a fake birth certificate for Osama.

If captured,He should be fed to the pigs.

[popdonnelly]

Clarke was an utter and complete failure as terrorism expert. How this failure became the hero of 9/11 is a case study in media propaganda. Now we’re supposed to take advice on terrorism from the man who didn’t stop a single terrorist attack.

Clarke’s egoism, which compels him to make these stupid statements, is disgusting.

[popdonnelly]

Obama once again provides excellent reasons to oppose his election. And he’s taking advice from Clarke, the man who famously said, “We failed you”? What Clarke should have said was, “I failed you”.

[yldstrk]

There is no appeal if you are dead.
