Relax, guys.

New charges are likely to be brought against al-Nashiri, probably in federal court.

Moussaoui and the shoe bomber were convicted in Federal Court. Let’s not exaggerate.

I would just ask, who instituted the 120 day review that prompted this “procedural move” to be necessary?

I understand what you are saying but maybe you should cc: the entire MSM. They are all pretty much celebrating "Charges dropped vs. suspect in 2000 USS Cole blast".

Do you know what it costs to put on one of these trials? Do you know about the security risks involved when you bring these people to the States? What was wrong with Guantanamo?

These people have no claim to protection under the U.S. criminal justice system. I don’t believe they’re entitled to that protection. The Left treats them as victims. I agree with the Left, they are victims - of their own fanaticism.

I think the real issue is the appearance of it, Obama’s willingness to drop charges to meet his goals and the fact that at this moment, this terrorist has no charges pending thus opening the door for lots of possibilities before new charges can be brought.

From a legal standpoint his status is no different from anyone else who has no criminal charges pending. Others on the world stage can step in and point this out and pressure Obama to simply release him. Technically, under our system of jurisprudence he should be able to just walk.

Dropping the charges at all just makes no sense. It makes Obama look like a muslim sympathizer to boot.

The whole Gitmo issues is nothing more than a liberal feel-good project gone awry anyway.

He doesn't belong in a federal court. He is an enemy combatant. That's how the scummy Clintons tried to fight terrorism and it didn't work.

You freakin Obama apologists can piss off. The SOB dropped charges against someone that murdered 17 U.S. sailors over eight years ago. You do not know his motives, either do we. But to publicly drop the charges against a terrorist that has already killed Americans is asinine and sets a BAD example and ONLY emboldens terrorists worldwide. It is pathetic to see those that want and continue to provide cover for Obama on FR, no matter what he does.

Obama is a guy thats wife said she had never been proud of America. Obama is the guy that went to a Church for twenty years where his pastor said God Damn America, and he had that same man marry him, baptize his children and wrote a book about one of his sermons. Obama is the man that has hung around with a domestic terrorist that founded a group that killed three police officers, blinded another and bombed the Pentagon. Obama is the man that went on Arabic TV right after the election to slam America to his Muslim brothers. Some of us can see the writing on the wall. This is just the same thing Obama has been doing his whole adult life. So do not tell us to relax.

Perhaps. His attorneys will probably raise the issue of a prompt trial. Then there's the admissability of evidence, al-Nashiri having been waterboarded by the evil Bush-Cheney cabal. He'll probably be convicted, but the victims families have every reason to be upset.

Then again, the Obama administration has raised rendition as a possible solution. I don't know his middle east connections, but if he's sent to the Saudis, they'll either release him or behead him.
