Revenge of the ‘Shoe Bomber’ (Richard Reid sues to resume jihad from prison. Obama admin caves in)

Last May at the National Archives, President Barack Obama warned that “more mistakes would occur” if Congress continued to politicize terrorist detention policy and the closure of Guantanamo Bay. “[I]f we refuse to deal with those issues today,” he predicted, “then I guarantee you, they will be an albatross around our efforts to combat terrorism in the future.”

On June 17, at the Administrative Maximum (ADX) penitentiary in Florence, Colo., one of those albatrosses, inmate number 24079-038, began his day with a whole new range of possibilities. Eight days earlier, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Denver filed notice in federal court that the Special Administrative Measures (SAMs) which applied to that prisoner—Richard C. Reid, a.k.a. the “Shoe Bomber”—were being allowed to expire. SAMs are security directives, renewable yearly, issued by the attorney general when “there is a substantial risk that a prisoner’s communications, correspondence or contacts with persons could result in death or serious bodily injury” to others.

Reid was arrested in 2001 for attempting to blow up American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami with 197 passengers and crew on board. Why had Attorney General Eric Holder decided not to renew his security measures, kept in place since 2002?

According to court documents filed in a 2007 civil lawsuit against the government, Reid claimed that SAMs violated his First Amendment right of free speech and free exercise of religion. In a hand-written complaint, he asserted that he was being illegally prevented from performing daily “group prayers in a manner prescribed by my religion.” Yet the list of Reid’s potential fellow congregants at ADX Florence reads like a Who’s Who of al Qaeda’s most dangerous members: Ramzi Yousef and his three co-conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing; 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui; “Millennium bomber” Ahmed Ressam;

Put him in with the prison’s general population where hopefully he’ll be tortured to death.

From the WSJ article:

"Michael Ratner, whose human rights organization, the Center for Constitutional Rights, filed the first successful detainee lawsuit in 2002, called Mr. Obama’s proposed U.S. detention scheme a “road to perdition” and nothing more than a plan to “repackage Guantanamo.”

Here's an in-depth article I put together several years ago on this scumbag Ratner and his commie, America-hating Center for Constitutional Rights.

This sick, worthless piece of crap deserves to share a cell with Reid, or worse. Something needs to be done about internal enemies like Ratner before they get us all killed. At the very least, our "brave" politicians need to publicly call these commie swine what they are: America hating pigs who despise everything good about America, including its system of government, and love everything evil and perverse. How about throwing enormous piles of harrassment lawsuits at these groups and individuals, just for openers?

When asked to comment the President said “Richard Reid is just a guy from the neighborhood.”

A perfect illustration of what it will be like if the Idiot administration gets it’s wish to house Gitmo detainees inside the US.

I believe that the whole agenda of the counterfeit in the wh, is to bring down america.

Saul Alinsky:
“Alinsky viewed as supremely important the role of the organizer, or master manipulator, whose guidance was responsible for setting the agendas of the People’s Organization. “The organizer,” Alinsky wrote, “is in a true sense reaching for the highest level for which man can reach — to create, to be a ‘great creator,’ to play God.”

Alinsky wrote, “Rules for Radicals,” a book he dedicated to Lucifer, whom he called the “first radical’” For Alinsky, “Change” was his mantra. By “Change,” Alinsky meant a quiet, Marxist revolution achieved by slow, incremental, Machiavellian means that turned society inside out. This had to be done through systematic deception, winning the trust of the naively idealistic middle class, and by using the language of morality to conceal an agenda designed to destroy it. And the way to do this, he said, was through “people’s organizations’”

THEN:

"We are not afraid of any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid ...
"You’re a big fellow. But you’re not that big. You’re no warrior. I know warriors....
You are a terrorist, a species of criminal guilty of multiple attempted murders."
To call you a soldier gives you far too much stature.
You are a terrorist, and we do not negotiate with terrorists.
We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice. ...
"See that flag, Mr. Reid?
That is the flag of the United States of America
That flag will fly there long after this is long forgotten."
[Federal Chief Judge William Young, First Circuit to Terrorist Shoebomber Reid]

Debra Burlingame is doing her level best to warn the American sheeple that we are inviting another 9-11 with Zero's policies. Are enough people listening yet or are we going to have to lose more airplanes, buildings or even cities before the message finally sinks in.

The so-called responsible people like Warren Buffet, Colin Powell and others (including John McCain, IMHO) who sold us Zero are going to have blood on their hands big time.
