Obama Goes Easy on Shoe Bomber {TOTAL INSANITY}
NEWSMAX ^ | July 30, 2009 | Jim Meyers

Posted on 08/01/2009 6:15:59 AM PDT by Turret Gunner A20

The Obama Justice Department has withdrawn the "special administrative measures" imposed at the federal prison in Colorado against "Shoe Bomber" Richard Reid, the jihadist who tried to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight in 2001.

Special administrative measures (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."

snip

... the list of Reid’s potential fellow congregants at ADX Florence [the supermax Colorado prison] reads like a Who’s Who of al-Qaida’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; 'Dirty bomber' Jose Padilla; Wadih el-Hage, Osama Bin Laden’s personal secretary, convicted in the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombing that killed 247 people."

I truly believe that even Dims have a line that should not be crossed. I suspect he is stepping on many lines these days...

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]

This administration will go to any lengths to abett and support our enemies.

We are at a pivotal crossroads in our nation's history. A very steep, very hard and dangerous roads leads one way...an abject fatal precipice leads the other.

This makes perfect sense. Follow me here.

Islam is a religion of God sanctioned oppression.

Christianity is a religion of God sanctioned inalienable rights of the individual.

Which one does tyranny prefer?

Therefore, sympathy toward terrorists and the promotion of Islam makes perfect sense to a tyrant.

This administration will do anything to support the replacement of Christianity with Islam in America.

Bold but true.

That is because they share the same objectives.

I don’t know what the line is with Most Dems but surely one or two are waking up over his position on Honduras.

When is Richard Reid going to the White House for a beer? Will there be any peanuts left after Joe Biden is finished?

do you suppose they are naive enough to believe this will get them some ‘cred’ with the jihadists so they can “sit down and talk with your enemies”????

Hmmm, let’s hear from the people, who were on that flight with Richard Reid (Muslim named withheld) and their family members. I’d like to hear what their opinions of this are.
