Dem Congressman: 'It's Unamerican' To Oppose U.S. Terror Trials

You're still right, though. Moran and the libruls apparently hate freedom and want to unleash terror in our midst!

Here in Massachusetts where I live, a convict sentenced to life imprisonment without parole murdered another prisoner in that prison. That was about 15 years ago.

Now: How can you punish that convict for this new murder? He's already been sentenced to life imprisonment. There's nothing more the State can do to him.

We had another example where a convict sentenced to life imprisonment without parole escaped from prison, and raped and murdered a woman on the outside. Again, he knew he could do that with impunity because there was nothing more the State could do to him.

That's unlikely to happen with KSM at Supermax. But I raise this issue because I never hear liberals address it for non-Supermax prisons: A prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment without parole knows the State can't punish him any further, and so he's willing and able to commit more murders if he can. And in those two cases I cited, he did.

The death penalty is superior to life imprisonment without parole, because it ends the convict's chances of committing any more crimes. Permanently. Most prisons aren't escape proof.

"institutionalize terrorism"
The Islamofascists have done that quite nicely.

"By twistedly regarding terrorism as a military matter, you feed the industries profiting from death, disruption and destruction. NICE!"

Nah, let's treat it like a law enforcement problem. That'll scare them.

Don't worry too much about the internal threat from terrorists already living here, or the compromising of intelligence. Al Qaeda is gonna love the circus.

"And I somehow suspect you haven't a clue as to why "jihadists" are recruited".

Ask them yourself. Nidal Hasan, Yousef al-Khattab, Anwar al Awlaki would be pleased to tell you. Or hell, just pop in on Al Jazeera and MEMRI for the latest in jihad recruitment.

Something about killing infidels, and yearning for a world Caliphate in the name of "allah". The usual "religion of peace" stuff.

"oh, THAT's what happened after 9/11! I thought we invaded afghanistan, distracted ourselves by invading iraq, gave up on catching bin laden, tortured people (a war crime!), and intercepted millions of americans' phone calls. guess that was all a dream. what a relief....i realize all that crap about "land of the free and home of the brave" only works on suckers like me, but hopefully there are a more than a few of us left"

Ooooooo lookie here. We got a gen-u-ine liberal effete who thinks the big, bad NSA listens in on his phone sex because they have nothing esle better to do.

Iraq wan't exactly a "distraction": http://sfcmac.wordpress.com/2008/06/17/no-lies-about-iraq/

You want torture, sweetpea?

Try being trapped in burning sky-scrappers 90 stories high thanks to a crash caused by Islamic thugs who used planes like human-filled missiles. You’re calling your loved ones on a cell phone to tell them that you’re probably not going to make it. There’s no escape except the choice of being incinerated to death or jumping out of a window.

That is torture.

Liberal pansies are so wrapped around the axle over the poor, hapless muslim terrorists. There’s a few things they overlooked: What got them a trip to GITMO and the knowlege of terrorist plots endangering thousands of people.

I get your mindset, though: Leaving them to commit acts of terrorism is okay, using methods to extract that information, is “immoral”. That’s a good example of “moral relativism”.

Those methods proved to be very successful.

One of the plots they discovered was another one by Khalid Sheik Mohammad involving the use East Asian operatives to crash a hijacked airliner into a building in Los Angeles. KSM later acknowledged before a military commission at Guantanamo Bay that the target was the Library Tower, the tallest building on the West Coast. Without enhanced interrogations, there could be a hole in the ground in Los Angeles to match the one in New York.

Until they were caught, they were in the process of killing as many infidels as possible for “Allah”.
I don’t give a damn if they have to force feed a terrorist an ocean full of water to get information. The tactic works. It saves American lives.

We used appropriate torture on some of the worst Islamic terrorist scum on the planet. They weren’t run-of-the-mill peons; they were al Qaeda leaders. As a result, we got information that revealed the specific names, locations, and plans pertaining to future attacks.

If connecting a terrorist’s testicles to a 12 volt battery will save American lives, I’ve two things to say: The RED is POSITIVE. The BLACK is NEGATIVE.

I won’t lose a minute’s sleep, either.

"um, military occupation of muslim holy land? just thinking out loud here."

What "military occupation of a holy land"? In 1993, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait both allowed American bases. We didn't "occupy" anything other than the bases we operated. Other than that, we were part of a multinational peacekeeping force in Beirut.

We didn't invade and occupy Afghanistan and Iraq(again) until after 2001.

C'mon, the point you're really getting at is our support of the eeeeevil zionist Israel.

sounds like a "they hate us for our freedoms" type. no sense of irony.

Unemployment and record deficits are Bush's legacy. That's part of the reason his party lost the last election and majorities in Congress. Details.
