This is what the terrorists did to me -- and why they should be tried at Gitmo

President Obama finally listened to the outcry of New York, and is considering moving the trial of 9/11 terrorist Khalid Sheik Mohammed and other al Qaeda members out of the city, perhaps to Guantanamo Bay.

Finally, some wisdom.

It would be better there. It's military. They're not going to mess around. These dangerous terrorists will not be allowed to spread their hate, or hurt anyone else.

Nobody knows better than me.

I was a federal prison guard at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. In 2000, I was with a prisoner, Mamdouh Mahmud Salim, taking him back to his cell. His cellmate was Khalfan Khamis Mohamed. They were accused of bombing two embassies in Africa in 1998. Later they said that they worked with Osama bin Laden and that they helped set up al Qaeda.

Yes, there are some. I know a few personally.

The problem for them is, they are considered by the radicals to be apostates.

In the Koran, there are, I think, four (but I can only remember three) approved targets for jihad:

1.) Apostasy

2.) Infidels

3.) Thieves

Bernard Lewis (who is/was considered by many to be the leading non-islamic scholar in the west) says that of these Apostasy has a special place at the top, jihad against those who believed in Mohammed but have recanted.

It sounds like Salim and his band had help on the inside. That would also explain the disappearance of the handcuffs, which had probably been tampered with so that they couldn’t lock. Any Muslims/Black Muslims among the guards? I’m betting on that.

This story should go VIRAL!

I had heard/read of a guard being attacked, but that picture hit home. No bleeding heart liberals for this man, just doing his job. In Canada, tears are shed for "the child soldier Omar Khadr, who is at Gitmo. He threw a grenade that killed a medic in the US Army. Another serviceman was blinded in one eye. His father was killed as a terrorist in Afghanistan. They are lobbying the Prime Minister to get him back to his family from hell, in Toronto. Rabid supporters of terrorism. Stephen Harper is not buying it.

The self satisfied purveyors of "human rights" are usually so far removed from pain and suffering caused by wanton crime, one hopes in vain, they get some sort of wake up call.

Thanks for that.

I guess there was not enough room for the details. /s/

Sickening.

JANUARY 1999 : (GERMANY : AL QAEDA TERRORIST M M SALIM aka ABU HAJER AL-IRAQI IS HELD----SEE WMD, URANIUM) In Germany, Mamdouh Salim, alleged to be a key military advisor and believed to be privy to bin Laden's most secret projects, is also apprehended.

From an interview of Fitz:

FITZGERALD:
"And the question of relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda is an interesting one. I don't have information post-2001 when I got involved in a trial, and I don't have information post-September 11th. I can tell you what led to that inclusion in that sealed indictment in May and then when we superseded, which meant we broadened the charges in the Fall, we dropped that language.
We understood there was a very, very intimate relationship between al Qaeda and the Sudan. They worked hand in hand. We understood there was a working relationship with Iran and Hezbollah, and they shared training. We also understood that there had been antipathy between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein because Saddam Hussein was not viewed as being religious.
We did understand from people, including al-Fadl -- and my recollection is that he would have described this most likely in public at the trial that we had, but I can't tell you that for sure; that was a few years ago -- that at a certain point they decided that they wouldn't work against each other and that we believed a fellow in al Qaeda named Mondu Saleem (ph), Abu Harzai (ph) the Iraqi, tried to reach a, sort of, understanding where they wouldn't work against each other. Sort of, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
And that there were indications that within Sudan when al Qaeda was there -- which al Qaeda left in the summer of '96 or spring '96 -- there were efforts to work on joint -- you know, acquiring weapons...."
