18 Month Extension
I’m not sure what to make of this. Evidently the “vital threat to our national security” will end in 18 months.
An officer I met in Baghdad during our USO trip told me it will be much tougher to win in Afghanistan than Iraq and might not be worth it. Here’s smart guy George Will saying it won’t end well. Here’s smart guy Robert Kagan in the Washington Post saying yes it will. And here’s smart ass Ralph Peters in the New York Post calling it surrender in advance.
KSM Trial
Now that Holder has inflicted Khalid Shaikh Mohammed on the American criminal justice system we’re reminded why the military tribunals were set up in the first place – to protect the criminal justice system.
KSM was water-boarded 130 times to get information, not a conviction.
Holder is confident he can get a conviction and he wants the world to see that “we need not cower in the face of an enemy”.
If Holder is right, the world will see an American legal system convict a man who was denied a lawyer, not read his rights, tortured into a confession (according to the president of the United States), and prejudged by the president and his attorney general. Holder added that if KSM isn’t convicted he still won’t go free and Obama agrees.
Some showcase for our legal system.
Take a Bow
Well, our president certainly isn’t one to hold a grudge. Within the same week he’s granted constitutional rights to the mastermind of of the worst attack on the U.S. since Pearl Harbor and bowed to the Emperor of Japan. Here’s a link to the LA Times story.
