This quote from IBD pretty much sums it up. I leave determining the significance of this post’s subject as an exercise for the reader. –RR "[Attorney General] Eric Holder's move to try the 9/11 masterminds in Manhattan makes it official: This administration has reverted to pre-9/11 'crime' fighting. Amid all the talk during the attorney general's surreal press conference of the 'crime' committed eight years ago, the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon wasn't even mentioned. Lest anyone forget, the military headquarters of the United States was attacked that day along with the Twin Towers. An entire wedge of the Ring was gutted when the Saudi hijackers slammed American Airlines Flight 77 into it. Nearly 200 military personnel were killed, along with the passengers and crew of the hijacked jet. The jet was a weapon used to attack the very center of our military. That was not a 'crime,' as some say. It was an act of war. And 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, along with the four other al-Qa'ida terrorist co-conspirators Holder wants to try, are no mere criminals. They are enemy combatants -- and should be treated as such. ... Holder clucked that the 'trials will be open to the public and the world.' And they will turn into circuses, playing right into the hands of the enemy. These trials will drag on for years, perhaps even decades, as defense lawyers file endless motions and appeals. Meanwhile, valuable intelligence about interrogation techniques and other methods we've used against al-Qa'ida will be revealed to the enemy during trial discovery. This move to a civilian court makes no sense at all, except viewed through a political prism. ... It will only remind people how much America has shrunk in the last nine months." --Investor's Business Daily This entry was originally posted at http://radarrider.dreamwidth.org/575733.html.

To those who have served, those who are serving, and to those who will serve in the future, words cannot adequately convey my gratitude, especially to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and to their families. Today's date, November 11, was once known as Armistice Day, to commemorate the day the guns fell silent in Europe at the end of World War I, and thus it is still known in many nations. Today we in this country call it Veteran's Day to remember and celebrate those relative few among us who have donned the uniforms of the armed forces of the United States of America. All we have, indeed all we are as a nation, we owe to you. Thank you. This entry was originally posted at http://radarrider.dreamwidth.org/574992.html. Please comment there using OpenID.
