Conservatives Wet The Bed Over Terrorism… Again



('DiggThis’)

Isn’t it just… poetic justice for the 9/11 conspirators to be tried and almost certainly executed in a New York City court?

The minds behind the worst terror attack in US history, tried in one of our most important cities, and executed under our system of laws? Sounds great.

But the cons? Wetting the bed, again. They’re so down on America they don’t think we can handle this. We’ll prove them wrong, again. Don’t bet against America guys.

    And, if there is some screwy technicality that gets these guys released, the simple solution is to just let them walk out the door of the courthouse and be greeted by the citizens of NYC. Problem solved!! (GFL KSM)

  2. Sean D. Martin says:

    She said she was sickened by “the prospect of these barbarians being turned into victims by their attorneys,” if the trial winds up focusing on allegations that the suspects were tortured after their capture.

    I honestly just don’t understand the such views.

    I’ve no doubt the speaker would praise America as the greatest country in the world, but she has no faith whatsoever in America’s justice system. Isn’t it’s justice system one of the things that is supposed to make America so great?

    And why is it better to completely ignore allegations of torture than to determine the truth of what happened? Does America’s greatness hinge on it’s truly being great, or only on nobody finding out it has some warts?

    Yeah, too bad the real story is that noted “Con” Jim Webb and many other Dems are also “wetting the bed” over the possibly of these terrorists being let go in a civil court. But why let something like facts get in the way of valid concern for the security of Americans.

    Loved it!

    Nation of laws, not failed incompetents like Bush trying to establish an imperial presidency.

  7. Amused Observer says:

    Ollie misses the point once more as do the most of the rest of the commentators here. Treating acts of war as common crime for the sake of political correctness serves no good purpose. It will be the military not the terrorists who will be put on trial here. Holder, as corrupt an attorney general as this nation has ever suffered under, has chosen a venue destined to bring intelligence methods out in the open, to be dissected by the defendants attorneys.

    Sean, Jaim, and Jr. so misunderstand the concept of a nation ruled by law that it is almost beyond belief. A military commission is in every sense an extension of the premise of the rule of law. These three along with Ollie and the previously mentioned corrupt Eric are aiding and abetting our enemies. Their behaviour while of itself not treasonous differs little in effect, providing assistance to our common foe while making life more difficult for the good americans who labor to protect their naive little souls. Only a nation of great strength can endure when weakened by the likes of them. A death of a thousand cuts seems little enough to worry about, at first.

      And with that comment, given recent holders such as Gonzalez and others from the more distant past such as Mitchell, your ability to see reality without flagrant political bias is shown to be the farce it is.

      OK, hold it right there. Act of war? What definition are you using?

      Idiot.

      providing assistance to our common foe while making life more difficult for the good americans who labor to protect their naive little souls.

      No one has adequately explained how trying these men in a court of law for mass murder is “providing assistance to our common foe.” Right-wing hacks just seem to keep repeating it as though it was demonstrably true. It’s not.

      It doesn’t matter what the fuck the administration does or does not do. You right-wing fucks will bitch and moan about it incessantly, and accuse Obama, his administration, and all liberals as being anti-American, or dangerous, or treasonous, or some such nonsense.

      Only a nation of great strength can endure when weakened by the likes of them.

      Blathering, imbecilic idiot.

      Pretty sure it’s a moot point by now, dude. Other than that your post is …well, complete bullshit as usual.

    Somebody has a thin skin when the net results of their behavior is pointed out.

    Executed right there in court? That’s harsh.

    You really need to look up the definition of “treason,” AO.

    • Sean D. Martin says:

      Treason, noun. Holding any opinion that disagrees with my right wingnut view of the world.

      (I get that right, Amused 0?)
