The real enemies are in Washington DC. Most just don’t know it yet. They will.

They better plan to have extra security around the courthouse during this trial. I'm sure the Muslim community will be out supporting their 'heroes' and trying to disrupt the trial. Holding this trial in NYC is a very bad move!

That's the least of my concerns. The real problem is that they will now be given the Constitutional protections that every other criminal defendant in the Federal Court system is entitled to receive, and you get bet that SheikMo will move to suppress evidence because it was obtained illegally, he was never read his rights, he was denied the right to counsel, blah, blah, yada, yada, and under the standards that are used in civilian criminal proceedings, there is a chance that the district court will grant the motion. The only good news is that if he is set free, the Federal Marshal's will probably push him out the front door of the Courthouse, a mere few blocks from ground zero, where he will probably die in an accident before he finds his first sheskibab vendor.

“The actual transfer of the detainees from Guantanamo to New York isn’t expected to happen for many more weeks because administration officials have to notify Congress and wait 45 days.”

isn’t this article the notification?

45 days from now....Jan 1?

I guess congress has time to pass a law to not make this happen. Might be a good campaign wedge in 2010.

And these 5 guys now have all of the rights you do. The first thing the lawyers will do is ask the judge to throw out all the evidence against them because it was obtained through coercion.

I took this line from The Obamafile

I believe obama wants to see anger and conflict between the citizens of the USA and the muslims in this country over this incident. He’s baiting us to duke it out with muslims over this trial in New York. He wants to cause conflict and chaos...and for what purpose?..this time around?

The blog link in your posting also has a very interesting link to the Weekly Standard about the significance of what Maj Hasan was wearing the day of the attack. According to the linked article, the clothing is connected with AlQeada

Holder said he expects the prosecution will be “successful”, I suppose implying conviction and death penalty. If that’s the goal, why not let these non-citizens be tried in a military tribunal? Answer: they also want this to be GWB and Gitmo on trial. The Dems want to cast history with their own slant on it.

I think this huge, unwieldy case will come back to bite the Dems. In what they claimed is a new post-racial, post-partisan administration, they’re going back to open a huge can of worms, reliving the horror and upsetting millions of Americans, to what end? My heart goes to the 911 victims’ families who will have to endure this circus.

Obama selected Gregory Craig, a presidential assassin’s lawyer, as White House counsel.

Craig has plenty of experience in politics as well as the courtroom, having served as Bill Clinton’s legal counsel during the impeachment hearings. Craig flipped from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama early in the primaries, and Obama has repaid his support — but Craig’s caseload will raise a few eyebrows:

Besides defending Clinton through the impeachment process, an effort that Craig lost, who else had the benefit of Craig’s counsel?

John Hinckley, Jr. — Craig presented and won the insanity defense that allows Ronald Reagan’s would-be assassin to spend weekends with his family now.

Elian Gonzalez’s father — Craig represented the father who demanded the return of his son after his estranged wife died trying to take Elian to freedom. Most people saw this as a thinly-veiled publicity stunt from Fidel Castro, attempting to embarrass the US. The dispute got resolved when Janet Reno ordered an armed assault on the house where Elian’s family in the US provided him a home.

Kofi Annan — The former Secretary-General of the UN hired Craig to defend his interests in the Volcker Commission probe of the Oil-for-Food scandal, which put billions of dollars into Saddam Hussein’s pockets while providing cash for Annan’s son, his deputies, and some allege Annan himself.

Pedro Gonzalez Pinzon (Active client) — A Panamanian legislator wanted for murdering an American soldier in 1992. The Dallas Morning News demanded that Obama force Craig to drop the case during the campaign, but no report of whether he did is easily available.

I doubt that any President has selected the defender of a presidential assassin as White House Counsel before now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eric Holder, Bill Clinton’s former Deputy Attorney General, has been named Attorney General. Holder was involved in the pardon of Marc Rich, the Democratic donor who had fled the country to avoid prosecution on 51 counts of tax fraud and was not eligible for a pardon under Justice Department guidelines. Rich’s ex-wife, Denise, was a major contributor to Clinton campaigns and to the Clinton library fund — and probably one of Clinton’s bimbos.

Mr. Holder’s recommendation to pardon circumvented normal procedures and kept other Justice Department lawyers in the dark. A congressional committee described his conduct as “unconscionable.”

Then there was Holder’s involvement in the Elian Gonzalez case in 2000. It was Holder, for the first time in history, that took a child from his residence at the point of a gun to enforce his custody position, even though he did not have an legal order authorizing it.

Holder denied that Gonzalez was taken at the point of a gun. When he was confronted with the fact that there was a photograph showing he was taken at the point of a gun...

Holder defended himself, saying “They were armed agents who went in there who acted very sensitively.”

Holder also argued that members of a terrorist organization should get clemency. He was grilled in Congress after the Clinton Administration pardoned FALN terrorists before leaving office. This testimony on the Clinton pardons of the 16 FALN terrorists took place in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Chairman Orrin Hatch grilled Holder because the FALN terrorists never even requested clemency...

And, the Clinton Administration never even contacted the victim’s families.

Then Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder and the pardon attorney continued to invoke the president’s executive privilege throughout the testimony.

These men have proven that they are perfectly willing to operate out of the bounds of decency, our Constitution, and to act in direct opposition to America’s laws, sovereignty and to their oaths.

THEY ARE NOW BEING ACTIVELY ENABLED BY THEIR ANTI-AMERICAN BOSS. WHAT WILL THEY DO TO PROVIDE AID, COMFORT AND VITAL INFORMATION TO OUR SWORN ENEMIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS ??

WHEN WILL THIS MADNESS END ??

On Fox and friends,airhead Geraldo was saying why are people worried about this guy coming to New York. He will be convicted and get the death sentence. He will be be buried. He has admitted to beheading Daniel Pearl and being a mastermind of 9/11.

Then Geraldo talked about the blind terrorist tried in New York and he said it was not a problem. I am sure freerepublic has information on that trial and it was a huge problem. Millions of dollars for security and threats to prosecutors for two things I read about.

Then they asked Geraldo about the shooter Hasan. They asked if he was a terrorist. Geraldo goes,”I don’t really care about that. He will be convicted. How many times can you kill a guy?”

Geraldo has no clue that these terrorists in a highly populated New York,creates more of a chance of their allies coming to protect them. He has no clue this puts all Americans in harms way.

There is no death penalty in NY.

Wait a minute, this is not a state crime. It is a federal crime. It would not be under state laws.

Holder is a racist idiot who gave legal representation to terrorists before becoming Obama’s legal lap dog to cover up his crimes. Holder said there was no international definition for terrorist. Or something similar.

Fox this morning they said the terrorists can be released on a technicality. Boehner said Americans should fear that is even a possiblity a block away from ground zero.

Holder claims this is like 1993, but that was about persons IN THE UNITED STATES!

KSM WAS NOT in the US, he was in Afghanistan and Pakistan (and who knows where else). That changes everything.

Good point! Also there is law that no terrorists may enter the country and before this decision they were using that as a reason Holder could not bring them here.
