Pro-Gitmo Kin Rage at Anti Auntie

President Obama is caught smack in the middle of a family feud among 9/11 relatives of a financier killed at Ground Zero, The Post has learned.

The brothers of Adam Arias went ballistic when they learned that their aunt, Valerie Lucznikowska, was among the 9/11 relatives invited to last week's White House meeting with Obama. The brothers were not invited.

[Sergeant Tim]

Actually, Aunt Valerie was representing the ACLU's view. She, along with several others at the meeting, signed onto a 12/10/2008 letter that is only posted on the ACLU's site. She also hacks for More Peaceful Tomorrows, a group she has belonged to since before 9/11; members of it had praised the Taliban for their treatment of women in Afghanistan after trips there. After 9/11, they added 'September 11 Families for' in front of their group's name and were among the first to protest against our inavsion of Afghanistan. Here's the real deal: the ACLU's proxies ran the guest list for the White House for last Friday's meeting, limited dissent, and plugged in ringers like Beverly. Obama is being led around by the detainees' lawyers on this and spinning just as fast as he can.

I do not tell you this to gossip; America needs to know they are being played for fools on this issue by both amateurs and olds pros now seated in the deck chairs at the Obama White House. I ask my fellow Freepers to spread the word widely near (lots of pings here) and then go wide.

One more point. Lorraine Arias-Beliveau's commentary appeared in the NY Daily News the Sunday before Friday's meeting. Surely, the New York area family members controling the invitation list (and they were) knew she was vehemently against closing Gitmo. In fact, she was there at Guantanamo observing the trials of KSM and his fellow mass-murderers when President Obama ordered the Military Commissions delayed.

Dear FRiends,

In light of what is transpiring in our nation’s capitol this week, more than ever, we need to ensure that places like Free Republic and other like-minded places continue to speak the plain truth. Newspapers are dying and the current administation will either bail them out or allow them to fail. If they are bailed out, they will be even more beholding to the coming socialist agenda. If they are allowed to fail, the powers that be will force the remaining electronic media to fill the void. Local coverage only. No national syndicated news/talk. The “Fairness Doctrine”, like it or not.

After that, the internet. Free Republic. And others.

We need to get this FReepathon over and right now. We need to show that we are serious and will continue forward and thrive, not just survive.

If you can spare a couple of bucks, that would be great...If not, God bless you and please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump.

We’re all in this together.

Could the zero be any more of a turd?

[Responsibility2nd]

What?

Obammie using the 9/11 families as leverage with his Gitmo agenda???

Say it ain’t so!

[Sergeant Tim]

No. It is so.

[libs_kma]

"Could the zero be any more of a turd?"

Absolutely! He could be, and is, a bass turd.

[KansasGirl]

BOR was defending Zero on this last night of FOX. I will never watch his show again. I turned it on to see what he was saying about the stimulus bill. He was too much of a coward to even feature the story.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Do you know how many 9-11 relatives attended the WH meeting?

I understand Debra Burlingame was going—do you know if she’s reported on her reaction anywhere?

[cookcounty]

Washington Times has a great article on this today. One of the participants (an attorney) said he was stuttering, stammiering, confused, and not in command of the legal issues.

[mewzilla]

From today, mentions Debra Burlingame....

EDITORIAL: Obama's outrageous oversight

[dead]

Great work. This information needs to be out there.

[Sergeant Tim]

I do not have an exact breakdown between what has been stated was 40 to 50, but the 9/11 family members there far outnumbered those from the USS Cole.

Yes, my friend Debra was there.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Debra Burlingame, sister of Charles Burlingame III, the pilot of American Airlines Flight 77 that was flown into the Pentagon on 9/11, was present at last Friday's White House meeting of families of terrorism victims. Her impression was that President Obama was saying the right words in general, but when it came to specifics he was uncertain, uninformed, and sometimes just plain mistaken. Ms. Burlingame is an attorney who has followed closely the legal aspects of the terrorism cases, and her detailed, probing questions were met with stammers, stares, and statements that betrayed an understanding of the law that was, she said, "flat out wrong."

Thanks for the link!

[Sergeant Tim]

Yes, thanks, I know. See comment #12 here.

[NowApproachingMidnight]

Obama is a f***ing liar.

[Sergeant Tim]

Ping!

[houeto]

Unbelievable. Thanks for the link.

[anniegetyourgun]

Saw that too, KG...for once I think even Miller was speechless and stupified by BOR’s insensitivity.

[library user]

One of the participants (an attorney) said he was stuttering, stammiering, confused, and not in command of the legal issues.

Did he bump his head and try walking through a window right before all this happened?

[maica]

That was a powerful editorial in the Washington Times. I guess they have not totally gone over to the dark side.
