These Liberals never cease to amaze me. What will they have us do next? Teach the Iraqi Army the Geneva Convention and our UCMJ? This is sheer stupidity. Anyone, who has ever fought with or commanded foreign troops knows how ridiculous this is.
Club Fed is about right. Like the US prosecutor is going to reveal all the Intel sources used to nab these killers?
How stupid is our Supreme Court? This is the worse decision I can recall.
Obama, Kerry, and the left are out of touch with reality. The message to our enemies is any time you are outgunned-just raise your arms and surrender. You will be back in action soon. The reality is combat troops hate fighting the same SOB twice.
The idiocy is that our legal system is set up on a presupposition that at the time of the commission of the alleged crime, both parties were bound by the same strictures and presumably the same culture. Applying the legal system with its assumptions, presumptions, and philosophy to parties who had no notice of such a system when the “crime” was committed is ridiculous and a good attorney will be able to argue the defendant cannot be held to U.S. legal standards and could not have the same mindset implied by our criminal laws. Hence it is a get-out-of-jail-free card for terrorists. Today that argument is being applied to immigrants already here when the crime was committed and it is working to some extent. It will work much more effectively for foreign nationals whose only presence here due to being taken prisoner.
