David Beamer: Eric Holder's Baffling KSM Decision, The attorney general's Senate testimony this week did nothing to reassure the families of 9/11's victims - 'On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee met to question Attorney General Eric Holder about his decision to prosecute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others in criminal courts rather than military tribunals. As the father of Todd Beamer, who died on United Airlines Flight 93, I was able to attend that hearing. What transpired caused me great concern and shook my confidence in our current administration...'
David, I also saw the judiciary proceedings regarding the terrorists' trial. I was astonished at the lack of respect given to the minority party's queries. I was especially concerned about Holder's refusal to answer with any content..........and his "I will take that into consideration" response. Never in my lifetime has it been so crystal clear of the corruptness and evil intent............under the guise of ........ what? I don't know what to call it anymore.......It is way pass "Political correctness". I beg you to continue doing what I wish I was able to do. Continue to get out there with that same message that you expressed this morning! You are wonderful. You are the soldier that we desperately need RIGHT now. I hope you are able to get on some of the other networks. God Bless YOu and your family. Jan
My heart goes out to you Mr Beamer for the loss of your son. He was a true American hero.
I believe Eric Holder's outrageous decision to try the terrorists in a NY court came directly from the White House as a way to discredit former President Bush and the prior administration and also to drag into the public view the actions and interogation procedures used by the CIA. This may jeapordize the lives of our operatives. This trial may be the excuse the President needed to satisfy his leftist backers in order to bring charges against members of the CIA.
I fear the terrorists will use the Court as a platform to put the United States on trial. This public forum will be seen around the world and be used as a tool to further their radical views and recruit more terrorists. Plus there's a very real possibility that they will be acquitted because the evidence and/or prior statements made by the defendants may be ruled inadmissable. Or the Judge could dismiss all charges because they weren't read their Miranda rights.
I wonder if Eric Holder or Barack O'bama care whether their decision has put New Yorkers lives at risk. If the unthinkable did happen and some radical terrorist was to bomb NY during the trial, I think O'bama's presidency would be over.
I can't wait to cast my vote in the 2010 and 2012 elections. We Americans need to take our Country back and get rid of the current Administration and it's cronies.
