Al Qeda getting Miranda warnings?

While sleazing around that horrible far right web site known as Fox News, I found this story:

Reports: Afghan Prisoners Get New Rights From U.S.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is preparing new rules that would give hundreds of prisoners being held by the U.S. military in Afghanistan the right to challenge their detentions, according to published reports.

WTF Over? We caught these chowder heads shooting at our troops and President Zero wants to give them access to American court systems? Hello, they aren’t IN the United States! Perhaps I misread this:

The guidelines would for the first time allow about 600 prisoners held at an American-run prison at the Bagram Air Base to call witnesses and submit evidence in their defense, The Washington Post and New York Times reported in stories Saturday on the Web.

Defense? They are lucky they weren’t blown to smithereens. Now these scum want to use our courts, (Which aren’t run by the brightest bulbs in the lamp), to get out and go back to shooting at our troops? I don’t think so BarryO!

So how come this is even being considered?

The guidelines came to light as the Obama administration is reviewing Bush-era detention policies and determining where to make changes.

So President HopeyChangey is upset that harmless terrorists might be suffering the indignities of three square meals a day and access to toilet paper for the first time in their lives. Oh the horror! The One must reverse the Evil Bush policy of keeping dangerous terrorists locked up! I wouldn’t mind so much if they were releasing them into a minefield or live fire range somewhere.

Human rights campaigners have argued that the prisoners should be given the same rights as those at Guantanamo, but the U.S. military argues that Bagram detainees should be treated differently because they are being held in an active theater of war.

Well there’s a problem right there. The only rights any of these thugs deserve is the right to become fertilizer somewhere.

Their status is the subject of lawsuits in the United States. A federal judge ruled in April that several Bagram detainees have the right to challenge their detention in U.S. courts, and the Obama administration has asked a federal appeals court to overturn the decision.

First, the Obama Administration is appealing a nitwit judge’s decision granting these scum access to our courts? *FAINT* *THUD*

Second, the judge should have laughed this out of court. That he, (or she, we don’t know who this judge is), didn’t says a lot for the judicial branch of the United States. Frankly, this judge and these ACLU type lawyers should join their “clients” in the same minefield. Just our opinion, don’t you know.

Speaking of which…

Ramzi Kassem, a law professor at City University of New York and attorney for one of those Bagram detainees, said the move is just “window dressing.”

“The whole thing was meant to pull the wool over the eyes of the judicial system,” he told The Associated Press late Saturday, responding to the news reports. “These changes don’t come anywhere near an adequate substitute for a real review.”

Yeah right, yet another screaming anti-American leftard lawyer from that bastion of higher education, The City University of New York. We did a few minutes of Googling and found this article regarding CUNY by Heather Macdonald. Give it a read for her opinion of that school.

Anyway, why don’t we see what else this scholar of the American legal system has to say…

Kassem said the changes appear to amount to a review by a military representative assigned to a detainee. The representative would not be bound by confidentality, thus making this system similar to one already rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2008.

“These improvements are really just smoke and mirrors,” Kassem said.

Oh cry me a river. Shall we call you a Waaambulance? What I would like to know is what right do the courts in this country have to inject themselves into how we fight the Global War on Terror? Do they even comprehend the term “State of War?” (Italics mine)

If President Bush hadn’t been such a complete weenie with regards to the courts interjecting themselves in matters of national security, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. The first time some moronic judge interjected himself into the handling of the war Bush should have called him or her up and read them the riot act. And if that didn’t stop these robed twerps, then Bush should have ignored their decisions and ordered their arrests for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

That Bush didn’t says a lot about his spine in domestic matters, or lack there of. He wouldn’t stand up to them and now we will be paying for this for decades to come. That is we will unless we get hit hard again and the current administration is cleaned out of office, and a real hard core group comes in. Then these judges might be given a different ultimatum the the one FDR gave.

Resign, or be prosecuted!

It would take a true sea change for an administration that tough to get into office. In fact, the last one we can recall is the Andrew Jackson administration.
(After a court case regarding the Cherokee Indians went against what he wanted, Jackson was reputed to have said “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!“)

Jackson was wrong, but in this case, the courts trying to tell the President and the Military how to conduct a war is far beyond the scope of their constitutional duties. In fact, some of their decisions go against international law and several treaties we have ratified.

Now, what can you do about this?

The proposed rules were given to Congress in mid-July for a 60-day review and were expected to be made public this week.

Ah hah! Congress is now involved. Granted, the bunch of slimeballs in office, particularly the scum actually running things, don’t give a damn about this country. However, yesterday was the big Tea Party protest in Washington D.C. and it seems the turnout was slightly larger then anticipated.

So, call your representative and senators and let them know that this garbage has to be stoped ASAP! They might be in a more malleable frame of mind now that so many good citizens have let them know how unhappy they are.

That is all for now.
