Binyam Mohammed, who planned terrorist attacks on U.S. cities, has been set free...
This is a national-security disaster. Up until now, President Obama has voted “present” on enemy combatants. Rather than resolve the dilemma between the law-enforcement approach (which he supported as a candidate) and the law-of-war paradigm, he has said he is studying what to do about the remaining 245 Gitmo detainees. Now, it appears his plan is incalculably worse than either alternative: He is going to let many of them go.
Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder now concede that Gitmo is a Grade A detention facility. And there’s no question that we have a legal right to hold combatants — the only controversy is over what the detention proceedings should entail in terms of due process. Nevertheless, the president has publicly committed to close Gitmo by next January. This has needlessly ratcheted up pressure to find countries willing to take the combatants off our hands, even if those countries are unwilling to ensure that these trained jihadists will be prevented from rejoining the battle — as scores of released combatants already have done.
So now Binyam Mohammed is at liberty. Can others, perhaps hundreds of others, be far behind?

Ping!
The American people have voted for surrender to the jihadists, and surrender they will get.
Not much incentive to take prisoners then, eh?
Agreed.
Sadly, (the collective) "we" get the govt. we deserve...
It’s all good, he’ll make them promise to give up terrorism before he releases them.
WTF did ANYONE expect? He palled around with Bill Ayers, traitor, domestic terrorist, communist, TOOL!
Or leave witnesses.
Now it’s clear why he always said he had a plan for things, but couldn’t tell us what it was. All his plans involve moving fast with legislation to screw us over and then coming up with a plan to make it work.
I think world leaders over the next few years will see just what an incompetent clueless and irresponsible leader of the Free World Obambi really is.
He is just turning his friend loose so that they can run around creating havoc again.
Problem is, just how many in the public are even going to be aware of this? Do you think CNN is going to give this any coverage...the release of terrorists for the purpose of killing more Americans?
He is clearly out to undo everything the men and women in uniform and President Bush have accomplished.
Thank you for the ping.
It seems almost certain with news like this that sooner or later we will be attacked in a way that will make 911 seem mild. How many people will have to die before someone wakes up? I look at our world - our country - and I can’t believe how things have changed, and how blind most people are to what is going on. I am afraid it is already too late.
domestic jihad bump
I think something is wrong...it’s not showing up very big on my ‘puter...you should probably expand and repost...
How about her sister?
Is that the right size?..LOL
I’ve met her before and tried to shake her hand but kept getting bumped out of the way...it was a sad situation...
