Binyam Mohammed, who planned terrorist attacks on U.S. cities, has been set free.
Let’s imagine we’ve captured a highly trained terrorist al-Qaeda was attempting to embed in the United States, à la Mohamed Atta and company, to carry out mass-murder attacks in American cities. For eight years, our national-security debate in the United States has been divided into two camps on these cases.
In the first are those who accept the post-9/11 law-of-war paradigm. They would have that enemy combatant detained for intelligence purposes (and to remove him from the battlefield) until he could be tried for war crimes by a military commission, and then either executed or imprisoned for life.
In the second are those who uphold the pre-9/11 law-enforcement paradigm...
Each of these philosophies has benefits... Both have downsides.
Here’s the problem: The hypothetical suggested in the opening paragraph, is not hypothethical: It is the real case of a real jihadist, an Ethiopian named Binyam Mohammed. And, rejecting both military and civilian justice, the Obama administration has come up with its own third way: releasing him.
Mohammed is an Ethiopian-born jihadist...he joined al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and met personally with Osama bin Laden and other top al-Qaeda figures. He received extensive, sophisticated terrorist training. In 2002, when he was finally apprehended in Pakistan, he was almost certainly en route to the United States to conduct attacks with José Padilla (who has since been convicted of terrorism offenses).
Padilla is notorious as the alleged “dirty bomber” because he — along with the lesser known Mohammed — studied the possibility of constructing and detonating a radiological bomb in an American city.

Someone please tell me a master list is being compiled of these terrorists for future use.?.
I have never seen a bunch of "News" networks so much in the pocket of a political movement. Its scarey.They IGNORE facts, and misreport by omission.
Obama thinks he is currying favor with the Caliphs. They are laughii]ng at him as a weakling, and would slaughter him like a bleating lamb.I hope they manage to get their hands on him at some point.
What takes man years to plan and build, God can take out in less than 24 hours. Examples: the Tower of Babel and Sodom and Gomorrah.
Read Psalm 2.
Dick Cheney is likely on the top of 0’s list.
Thanks
Obama should be impeached. Every day he proposes something guaranteed to ruin this country and kill its citizenry. But, hey, he’s our new royalty. One doesn’t question the big O.
Once we’re hit by a dirty nuke or ebola, or worse, and an entire US city is gone, Obama will take complete control. Emergency powers. They’re already laying the ground work. a few hundred thousand lives lost, so what. Obama keeps his eye on the prize, the MSM follows like lemmings, and American outrage is beyond belief. But we’ll be racists, we’ll be told to sit down and shut up while Islam is introduced as the new state religion.
Agreed! He hates America!
obama needs terrorists on the loose. That way he can have an “incident” near the 2012 elections, declare martial law, and become ruler for life
#############
This has a very scary reality to it!
Amen.
I don’t doubt for a moment that a man made disaster, by Zero & his organizers, will come to pass. But while we’re all sitting here waiting for someone to give us the go ahead to do something, anything, he’s letting in more & more illegals & muslims, to make sure he gets voted back in for a 2nd term.
...I don’t think we can afford to wait til 2012...
Dick Cheney...Rush Limbaugh...Glenn Beck
“obama needs terrorists on the loose. That way he can have an “incident” near the 2012 elections, declare martial law, and become ruler for life.”
I have been saying that there will be some sort of incident to sway the public scrutiny off Barry and he will devise a plan to make it look like he saved us all. Too bad he’s going to FAIL!
