As the Dumb-Bastard-in-Chief continues his efforts to enslave the American people, a judge has ordered an al-Qaida set free. Welcome to our world set on end–and why the conservative victory in November will be a cataclysm. Oh yes, and the world will end in 2012–for liberals as they hear the words… “President-Elect Palin.”
Judge orders release of Guantanamo detainee
A judge has ordered the release of a Guantanamo Bay detainee described in the 9/11 commission report as a significant al-Qaida operative who provided advice to three of the Sept. 11 hijackers.
The ruling in favor of detainee Mohamedou Ould Salahi was disclosed Monday in a two-sentence court entry.
U.S. District Judge James Robertson will issue a written decision at a later date explaining his reasons for granting the detainee’s petition. The detainee remains at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the Obama administration could appeal Robertson’s order. Even if the administration were to decide against appealing, Salahi would remain at Guantanamo until U.S. diplomats found a nation willing to accept him.
The 9/11 Commission report says Salahi was known to U.S. and German intelligence a decade ago and living in Germany when he gave instructions to four men about how to reach Afghanistan to train for jihad.
Three of the men later became Sept. 11 hijackers — Mohamed Atta, Ziad Jarrah and Marwan al Shehhi. The fourth was Ramzi Binalshibh, who helped coordinate the 9/11 plot and who now faces trial.
Lt. Col. Stuart Couch, a former military prosecutor who prosecuted terrorism planners and financiers for the Marine Corps for three years, has said Salahi was one of the men he was assigned to prosecute.
Couch told a University of Georgia audience last year that he discovered interrogators had obtained much of the evidence against Salahi through torture and refused to press charges.
Couch said he tried to resign, but was told he would be demoted to captain and sent into combat in Iraq if he quit. He dropped the Salahi case and stayed on as a prosecutor until his assignment ended, when he was named an appellate judge.
Salahi was known as an operative over a decade ago, and his collaboration with al-Qaida is clear. At this point allegations of “torture” could mean anything ranging from having his peanut butter stolen to the horror of having to wear a bra and a thong (I’m suing!) to which one filthy al-Qaida was subjected. Or maybe they made him think he was in a West Hollywood nightclub with lots of loud music, standing for hours on end, not getting enough water, and certainly not enough sleep.Waterboarding? Not so lucky–we know of the (unfortunately) few times that has been used on al-Qaidas, and with great success.
Note the Reluctant Prosecutor has been rewarded with a judgeship.
Onward to November!
Why does someone become a lawyer? Several reasons (1) they want power (2) they want their social status elevated (3) they want to prove they can do it (4) they want to make a difference. For the record, my reasons were (2) and (4). (2) became less important over the years, I must confess. And I think that’s a good thing. (4) still matters to me. Now, how does one with a law license make a difference? There are a number of ways, but these pinhead lawyers who either decline to prosecute bad people or worse, they make an ideological stance by representing really bad people (such as terrorists) prove to me that they share the viewpoint that America is bad and must be destroyed. That’s just my opinion, but I could be wrong. And if you disagree with me, you’re probably a terrorist. Just kidding.
Ok;ay, let him go now (working the bolt on my .30-06).
they are god’s i mean allah’s jihad-kittens, after all ….
what they do to women and homosexuals is torture in many islamic countries- and you don’t see the lawyers and judges crying about that injustice. that’s cultural and religious so one can’t criticize or even mention it except if christans were doing it then it would be evil and tyranny. even the aclu stay away from it to focus on protecting the rights of the torturers and mass murderers. their page on the civil liberties of women says nothing about apartheid of women in islam- just a vague page about of course american violations of women’s rights because women have been raped or victims of domestic violence on indian reservations.
wearing women’s panties- torture. being raped in prison so you can be hanged by the neck at 14 for talking to a boy- culturally appropriate.
if someone tweets about doing something to precious precious king urkel, the secret service descends on them. involvement in the murder of 3000 people- eh, let them go because we don’t know what to do with them. this is craven. the amount of times now i boil over in rage…the one thing that does keep me aware that i have human emotions left amid all this depravity, in this moral wasteland, is that i look at people falling from those towers, people i do not know and i know what evil is,i know what despair is and i know that the ones who did it need to be hunted down and destroyed not given a nice glazed chicken dinner, constitutional rights( rights urkel is taking away conversely from american citizens) and a f’ing lap top.
how have we gotten to this place were there is no right and wrong and justice only exists for the criminals (who we somehow made bad by our mere existence. last time i checked america wasn’t around during the crusades.) not the victims? one would think ‘ ‘promoting the general welfare’ has more to do with protecting us from falling through the air 80 stories covered in jet fuel than it does with destroying the health care system.
wasn’t “Salahi ” the last name of the party crashers??
Lawmom, it’s this tiny 95% of the profession that makes the rest of us look bad. 😉
