Administration halts prosecution of alleged USS Cole bomber
Washington Compost ^ | 8/27/10 | Peter Finn

Posted on 08/27/2010 6:16:50 AM PDT by teddyballgame

The Obama administration has shelved the planned prosecution of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged coordinator of the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, according to a court filing.

The decision at least temporarily scuttles what was supposed to be the signature trial of a major al-Qaeda figure under a reformed system of military commissions. And it comes practically on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the attack, which killed 17 sailors and wounded dozens when a boat packed with explosives ripped a hole in the side of the warship in the port of Aden.

The Obama administration has shelved the planned prosecution of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri.

Wonder how the media will blow that off?.

By running stories showing Mike Brown (former FEMA head) saying bad things about the Bush administration's handling of Katrina.

Obama is inching toward amnesty for Islamic terrorists.

It will probably come on Christmas Day 2012.

he’s a hard-left liberal with communist tendencies

What's it going to take to convince you he's a hard left COMMUNIST? I know, when he nationalizes your 401K and confiscates all of your furniture for "the greater good."

You and I are on the same wavelength.

Whenever I hear idiots posit Clinton’s great economy, I bring up the Gates/Grove revolution.

Then I explain to these folks, that Clinton, actually sent the Department of Justice after both these guys.

So, the moral of the story is that the productivity gains wrought by MS/Intel - plus all the other hardware/software companies - ignited a Second Industrial Revolution in spite of the Governments/Clinton interference.

Can this be done again?

Maybe, but not at the revolutionary exponential multiplier effect as previous....more evolutionary, IMHO.

Gunn Burial

And to think, 10 years after the Gunn family laid their son to rest in Arlngton Natinal Cemetery, the man holding the Oval Office hostage is:

-Having a great time on vacation....again
-Apologizes for a Koran burning in Florida
-Supports the Ground-Zero Mosque
-Plays putt-putt in Florida
-Tries to buy shrimp on Martha's Vineyard

and on & on & on & on.

Seriously...This President is a Muslim whipping boy...... He makes me sick the way he sucks up to Muzzies.... I’m almost afraid to see what he does on September 11th. I know he will embaress the country...but the question is how? Will he Play a round of golf instead of attending ceremonies or will he attend but appologize to Muslims and blame America?

The Defense Department and the Justice Department seem to be at complete odds on this case.

The Defense Department issued a statement Thursday saying the case is not stalled. "Prosecutors in the Office of Military Commissions are actively investigating the case against Mr. al-Nashiri and are developing charges against him," the statement said.

But, on the other hand...

In a filing this week in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the Justice Department said that "no charges are either pending or contemplated with respect to al-Nashiri in the near future."

So, I ask you, is the Department of Defense doing the bidding of the Commander-in-Chief? Or is the Justice Department following the lead of the President?

And who will win this tug-of-war...???

You are Sooo Correct! But It’s not just the Liberal media has Changed That Info -

But I have heard even some (suppossed ‘conservative’) - idiots who mimic the liberal Leftist’s arguments that the economy went UNDER when the Pubs were in the majority!

BUT - Our economy started to tank After the 2006 Elections - When the DEMS were the Majority!

** THEY were the ones who gave O the Mess he says he ‘Inheritied!’

But No One Remembers THAT!
