9/11 Victims Families: Obama Must Visit Gitmo and Reverse Dangerous Order


Debra Burlingame’s brother, Charles “Chick” Burlingame, died as he piloted the plane that was hijacked by terrorists on 9/11. She opposes the closure of Gitmo.

Families of those killed on 9/11, a Gold Star mother, and Sen. James Inhofe, sent a strong message today at Move America Forward’s press conference at the National Press conference in Washington DC: Keep Gitmo open for the sake of Americans who will be endangered by President Obama’s order to close the facility for terrorists.

MAF has the press conference here so you may see the compelling stories of these 9/11 families.

MAF also released its new advertisement, which you may see here.

Sen. Inhofe spoke about the necessity of keeping open Gitmo, which he has visited on several occasions and as recently as a couple of weeks ago.

The prison at Guantanamo is humane and safe, and important to U.S. security, Inhofe told the packed room.

Gold Star mother Debbie Lee said her son, Marc Alan, gave his life to keep terrorists away from America.

“This would really upset him if terrorists are moved from Gitmo to the United States,” Lee said. ‘He put himself iin harm’s way thousands of miles away from home to keep us safe here.”

9/11 families included Hamilton Peterson, who lost his father and stepmother on Flight 93; Lorraine Arias-Beliveaeu, whose brother was killed in the South Tower of the World Trade Center; and Geraldine Davie, show young daughter was killed in the North Tower on the 104th floor after the radical Muslim jiahidist flew U.S. planes into the Twin Towers.

New Terror Scare in Saudi Arabia - Alert for 85 al Qaeda Suspects
In what is being described as an "unprecedented global alert," the International Criminal Police Organization
today issued its largest-ever most wanted list for 85 terrorist suspects,
who are sought by Saudi Arabia for allegedly plotting attacks
against the country and for suspected links to al Qaeda.
"Never before has INTERPOL been asked to alert the world
about so many dangerous fugitives at one time,"
said Secretary General Ronald K. Noble in a statement.
"We know that we are approaching the
16th anniversary of the first World Trade Center bombing on Feb. 26, 2009
and therefore must be especially vigilant of fugitive al Qaeda terrorists."


"New Film Uncovers "Homegrown Jihad" group responsible
for nearly 50 attacks on American soil, operating 35 training camps across the nation,
but its name cannot be found on the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations
because the terrorism is supported by the US State Dept and Congress....
The group openly recruits through various social service organizations in the U.S.,
including the prison system. Members live in compounds where they agree
to abide by the laws of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which are considered
to be above local, state and federal authority."

Let him go down there and have the inmates fling a little poo at him, as they do to our soldiers routinely.

Yes, my heart breaks for all who have sacrificed their lives for their service for our country.

It’s a dishonor to them to not complete the war on terrorism.

Last December when MAF traveled across the country to raise awareness about the dangers of closing Gitmo, some of the crew went over to Gitmo.

When Cat Moy, Executive Director of MAF, was observing some of the unrepentant murdering terrorists, one of them looked at her and while grinning pulled his finger across his throat, the international sign for “I'm going to slit your throat when I get out.”

Present Obama will probably drop the charges against him, and bring him to America.

Better yet, let's flush his Koran down the toilet.

Good thing I wasn't there. I might have mooned him.
