Bad ideas have dangerous consequences. The Obama Administration recklessly insisted on a civilian trial for Ahmed Ghailani, and rolled the dice in a time of war. The Department of Justice says its pleased by the verdict. Ask the families of the victims if theyre pleased. And this result isnt just embarrassing. Its dangerous. It signals weakness in a time of war. The Ghailani trial was supposed to be a test case for future trials of 9/11 terrorists.

I think you meant the other Cheney.
Oops! Adult female smacks boy-child.
obama is such a FAIL.
It was Liz Cheney who applied the smack. Love that woman!
Liz Cheney represents her family so well. Obamadenijad isn’t man enough to be in the same room with her.
Liz has one wrong assumption, that being the wan is on our side.
I saw a video of Mr. Cheney and he has really changed since he got out of office. Much thinner and older looking. He didn’t look ill especially, but definitely had changed from what I remember him looking like.
Mr. Cheney has no pulse.
His Fail Meter was made in the USA. The object being measured was not.
It was Liz Cheney who applied the smack. Love that woman!

I’ve wondered if she’s had any thoughts about 2012.
She’s smart, calm and steady.
Liz. Obama knows as well as we do that "we" are at war. We The People must accept the fact that he is NOT on our side.
President Twinkie could care less about national security. I'll bet he's kicking back and having a good laugh at the uproar over the new airport screenings
The Supreme Court made civilian trials just about inevitable. Barack Obamas and Eric Holders decision exhibits the consequences of Supreme Court malpractice. Notwithstanding catastrophic dangers justices Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Ginsburg, Steven Breyer, and John Stevens eviscerated the political departments Constitutional authority regarding defense.
The Legislative and Executive branches hold all national defense powers. Congress has power to declare war. The President, as Commander in Chief, directs military operations, including armed force application, intelligence gathering, and disposition of captured enemies. These branches, most sensitive to citizen accountability, receive tasking for this momentous issue concerning national viability.
The unelected Judiciary no has defense powers. Yet the justices disabled national defense in Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld by falsifying an association of terrorists with Common Article Three of Geneva Conventions. False because terrorists do participate in international armed conflict, lack pacific character, and do not meet definitions for legitimate armed forces.
These justices also improperly intruded with Bonemediene vs. Bush. They rejected guidelines developed from Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld and applied Habeas Corpus to enemy aliens contravening U.S. practice, Common Law, and the Constitution.
These justices perpetrated judicial malpractice. Terrorists became citizens entering a legal conduit and backdoor into our society where their present and prospective unsurpassed butchery was equated to a civil murder. These judicial actions compare to surgical malpractice leaving a festering rag inside a body cavity. As those doctors should forfeit practice of medicine, these justices by impeachment should forfeit practice of law.
Politicians now hide within these rulings and indulge personal moral orthodoxies forcing America into harms way.
I say Yea let’s end this experiment it is unworkable! Throw the Bum out of office now before it is to late! Let’s have a do over of the 2008 election!
BTTT.
President Twinkie could care less about national security. I'll bet he's kicking back and having a good laugh ...
BTTT.

I’M TWINKIE !!! Not him. He ain’t gettin’ my name!
