If you are a regular reader here, you know that we hold perpetual loyalty not only to the people we support politically here on Earth, but the legion of angels we know in ethereal realms beyond all our collective comprehensions.
While raised Catholic, none of us here are religious by an stretch, truth be told because we’re all gay and after having so much hatred flung at us by “the religious” our entire lives (including to one of us whose church came damn near convincing him to kill himself, since that was preferable to having a crush on Jason Bateman…no joke), we just had enough. More power to you if you are religiious, and you can do as you please every Sunday morning. Us — well, we get up on Sundays too early to believe and volunteer to clean the bathrooms of people who have AIDS, that our friend Lionel used to clean as a volunteer before he died this summer from prostate cancer.
Lionel’s an angel now, with great big wings bigger than an eagle’s, and he’s off doing something else, while we finish what he started here below.
We don’t have to go to any church to know this (or listen to how terrible we are because our favorite in the Gyllenhaal family is decidedly not Maggie). We might not agree with all of you out there on your dogma, but man alive we sure believe in the power of transcendtal GOODNESS. That’s largely because we’ve known goodness in its purest form: people who have little or nothing but give all they have to near-strangers; people like Lionel who work grueling hours all week only to give up their weekends to GO CLEAN SICK PEOPLE’S APARTMENTS (for free!); people who give shelter to people who need it even if they don’t have extra room and are just scraping by themselves.
There is goodness all around us.
But, unfortunately, there indeed exists evil, too.
Alpha and Omega, zenith and nadir, yin and yang ad nausem.
For us, the people we’ve known and loved in this life pass on and reassemble in a Justice League on the cosmic other side. Strong, beautiful, sharp, dedicated, they’re rejuvinated in our memory as the best of the best in all that they were when we knew them. Lionel’s out there, somewhere, still taking care of the sick. Grandma Erma’s out there too, still traveling the world, doing little things to undermine repressive regimes and embolden their people to rise up against their oppressors. There are more family dogs running around as well, pushing kids out of the way of speeding cars and waking sleepy realtors up when they leave tea kettles burning on Viking ranges precariously close to burning condos down.
Our friend Jane, regrettably, is in that Justice League now, too, because of what Muslims did to her eight years ago, when she went to work one day in New York and never came home.
Jane was a foul-mouthed, hyper competitive, loud, boorish, spitfire of an Asian woman. She deliberately never learned to speak unaccented, grammatically correct English because, as she said, “Why should I? I minority. You give me stuff when I talk like this. I stay pushy ’cause you all so guilty for dumb s*** I get raises and promotions and I laught at you. Ha ha ha ha. You stupid, you liberals”. Jane was a piece of work, let us tell you. She’d get a new job and would call everyone she knew to laugh at them, because she was making so much money and they were struggling. But, quietly, if ever you were out and she knew you were looking for work and couldn’t really afford to chip in, she’d somehow manage to pay your share of the check, and would claim “that stupid waiter f****ed it up, so yours is free! Ha ha ha. They so stupid, so now you win!”.
Jane was a Hello, Kitty trapped inside an especially toothsome and potty-mouthed sabertooth.
It is a daily, unbearable tragedy she is not here on Earth today…because the stream of expletives she’d unleash upon the current administration in Washington over its decision to bring Khalid Sheik-Muhammad (KSM) to civilian trial in New York City would have honest to goodness peeled the paint off the White House. There would have been an immediate Secret Service alert issued for Dr. Utopia himself, with burly muscled black-suited men lifting him out of his chair (“Wheeeeee!”) and yanking him down the secret stairs to the protective bunker because Jane would have stormed from New York to Washington on her own steam, as fast as her tiny little legs could have carried her, like a robot sent from the future after one of the Connors.
We honestly, channeling Jane, are so furious at this moment that we can barely think straight.
Of all the terrible, America-hating, foolish, destructive things the current POTUS has done, this really does take the cake.
KSM should be tried in a military tribunal. And then he should be executed. Just as this Muslim executed our friend Jane. ”Sock it to him, you f***ers,” we hear her saying, even now.
Do you remember what the OJ and Michael Jackson trials were like…what circuses they were…because of the black community’s involvement in them?
Despite the evidence at hand, which we firmly believe should have led to convictions for both men, OJ and MJ successfully revved up the black community to ensure maximum disruption for YEARS while those trials played out. Los Angeles was an absolute nightmare during OJ’s. The community where Jackson was tried was completely shut down during his time in court. And the two of them did everything possible to get as much attention and exposure from their time on those platforms as possible.
Bringing KSM to New York for trial, in a courthouse that will be mere blocks from where Jane died, will be exponentially worse on all scales. Not only that, but it invites Muslims to pilgrimage to New York City to make the black community’s antics during the OJ and MJ trials looked reserved and professional by comparison.
New York City is going to be a living Hell for as long as that trial goes on.
And we GUARANTEE you a lunatic is going to slip through the jury vetting process and will make sure it’s a hung verdict. OJ and MJ got off, but we hope the Justice League’s at full force on the day a verdict is reached for KSM so that he’s not so lucky. It would be like New York getting attacked again if this mass-murdering Muslim terrorist is allowed to walk free.
Subjecting New York to all of this is truly the most vile thing Dr. Utopia has done so far.
All jokes aside, from the bottom of our hearts, in all seriousness, we can actually hear Jane screaming, cursing, and calling out for action on this from the other side today. This cannot sit unanswered, people. The White House cannot do this to New York — after already terrifying New Yorkers with that Air Farce One joyride a few months ago (that New Yorkers thought was another hijacked jet being chased by Air Force fighters) — and not suffer a political penalty for it.
No decent American can beleive this is a good decision.
Elections have consequences.
All of you who sat their butts home in 2008 because you didn’t think McCain was Republican enough, or who hated the Clintons so much you wanted to see Hillary lose the nomination, need to own up to what you did in 2008…because look who is president now because of that.
Hillary Clinton and John McCain would not have allowed this to happen.
Elections have consequences.
We can’t stop what Dr. Utopia has set in motion for New York, which now must suffer through 5-10 years of anguish with KSM being tried there…increased invitations for terror attacks included.
But, starting in 2010, we can make sure Dr. Utopia and his allies in Congress and the governorships suffer MIGHTILY for what these out of control Liberal zealots and Muslim apologists are doing.
We lost a good, foul-mouthed, plain-speaking, ball of fire friend on 9/11.
If you thought we were motivated to bring Dr. Utopia down at the ballot box before…well, you ain’t seen nothing yet, f****ers…as Jane would most indignantly say.

Does this even conform to international law? Wasn’t he captured by the Pakistani military and turned over to ours? He should fall under the UCMJ, and the Geneva an Hague Conventions. And those forbid detention and trial of military captives in civilian courts.
November 13, 2009 at 5:17 pm
And it really ticked me off to hear Barry’s dismissive meme that this was a prosecutorial decision. Inferred: not my fault. But yet he goes along with it. IF I lived in NYC, I would be blowing a gasket.
November 13, 2009 at 6:04 pm
So many NY’ers are liberals, he’ll still get a pass from most of them. I pray that they surprise me and come out en masse against this, but I won’t hold my breath. Oh, and if people do come out and protest it, they will only be the racist Republicans and fringe right wingnuts. So they gov’t won’t listen anyway. I wish people would start wearing I’m a Dem t-shirts, as that may shut them up for a bit.

November 13, 2009 at 1:49 pm
AG Holder mentioned that this will speed the closing of Guantanamo Bay ….. Of course, now they can out all of those evil CIA interrogators, and evil Bush and evil Cheney, as they planned to all along; and they can do it without their direct fingerprints on the deed. It will all be brought out by their court-appointed attorneys (whose salaries are paid by US).
These people are the EVIL ones.
November 13, 2009 at 6:37 pm
You hit the nail right on the head. Another hidden agenda maneuver by ObaMao as he skips town to apologize to the world for ending WWII while kissing up to ahmedinijad. 2010 cannot come fast enough for me.
November 14, 2009 at 7:06 am
I’m afraid our hopes for 2010 are fading.
By then we will likely have 20 to 30 million more citizens – all of the democrats:

November 13, 2009 at 1:51 pm
At this point, can’t Obama be committing at the very least a misdemeanor, as in high crimes and misdemeanor?
He and his minion, Holder are defying both US and International law by moving a terrorist to be tried in a US Criminal Court.
Too bad the House is filled with crazy leftists who will protect Obama, no matter what he does.
November 13, 2009 at 2:08 pm
That can be changed. Um, like next year. :)
November 13, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Remember Holder worked for the law firm that DEFENDED the Gitmo detainees. Are they representing KSM now? WOuldn’t that be a HUGE conflict of interest? I have always thought Holder among the MOST dispicable, immoral and evil of Obamas staff. Wonder what part Bloomberg plays in this as well, he is a slimy cretin.
November 13, 2009 at 2:00 pm
I wish I had known Jane. I am a foul-mouthed, plain-speaking, ball of fire myself, and I am sure we’d have hit it off. I will celebrate and honor her memory from here on out, thank you!
This NYC trial cannot be allowed to happen. I’m sure he wasn’t read Miranda…does that mean they can throw the case out right away? Can’t they argue he won’t get a fair trial in Manhattan, and dismiss any conviction on appeal? Does his having been waterboarded mean they won’t be able to admit any evidence they got from him?
November 13, 2009 at 4:19 pm
these are some of the same questions I have in my mind too. I can understand how some of the other Gitmo detainees may not deserve to be there as actual terrorists, but KSM? What the hell is going on?
& this mere days after we just had the Fort Hood trajedy?
November 13, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Any judge could let him walk free if he wasn’t read his rights, and we know he wasn’t. We’ll just have to wait and see.
My question is what judge in her/his right mind would even want to take this case?? Trying a muslim, imagine the ramifications this judge will face for convicting KSM. Boiling oil, beheading?
November 13, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Every New Yorker either knows a 9/11 victim or knows someone who does. There is no way KSM will get a fair, unbiased jury in NYC and the defense will push for a mistrial.
I’m sure Obama knows that and this will be his way of helping his poor, victimized, American hating, Jihadi terrorist friends off the hook.
November 13, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Hey guys, you’re welcome any time at Grace Episcopal Church, in Southgate Michigan if you’re ever near Detroit (google it – don’t want to leave the URL and get this comment snuffed). Door is open, coffee is hot, and it’s gay friendly by choice and as a principled stance. Trust me on this one — the priest there is my brother, so I’ll vouch for him personally. You guys have a great blog.
November 13, 2009 at 3:42 pm
And you have a great brother!
November 13, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Thanks! :-) I think so too.
November 13, 2009 at 2:15 pm
The circus is coming to town.
But it won’t be a circus in the traditional sense. Whatever city he goes to, apparently it will be NYC, becomes ground zero for another attack. Even if they can’t rescue KSM, the killing more innocent people, even if it includes killing KSM, will be part of the battle plan.
9/11 was an overt act of war on the part of AQ. Military tribunals have long been the standard for handling enemy combatants.
Obama and crew are naive to believe that this civil trial is the best way to handle enemy combatants. Civilian courts are not the place to try a guy like this. Security will be incredible. And not just at the court house, but citywide and maybe even regionally. Security costs will be through the roof.
There could kidnapping of Americans in exchange for KSM’s release. You know Obama will cave on these requests. But maybe, that’s what Obama wants, a cover to release KSM.
Given Obama’s actions, it’s not that far fetched.
November 13, 2009 at 2:17 pm
This is another lovely post!
What you do on your Sunday mornings is far more Christian in spirit and deed than what most Christians (including myself) do.
November 13, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Totally agree.
As someone who works for a church, the term “modeling Christ” comes to mind first when reading what your beloved friend Lionel did and what you do in his name.
November 13, 2009 at 6:52 pm
As a practising Catholic I agree with the comments.
I also agree with your stance in not going to Church and I think you know the reason why.
At the same time I understand how you feel about those “religious” people. Most of them do not have any clue about a variety of things and they can do a lot of harm….
November 13, 2009 at 9:27 pm
there is a difference between “religious” and being a christian — you are definitely christian
November 13, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I’ll be lifting a glass and letting loose with a stream of expletives in Jane’s honor as soon as I get home tonight.
What worries me about KSM coming to Manhattan: Crazy ass Mooslimes blowing up the courthouse killing scores of Infidels while martyring the accused. Can’t be done? Neither could 9/11. Or mass murder on a Texas Army base. A trial of such magnitude will put every New Yorker in extreme danger.
November 14, 2009 at 3:35 am
The Obama’s have not an iota of respect for the victim’s or their families and friends of 9.11. Barry despises the military and police as they protect us from danger. He is totally disconnected from America and it’s citizens.
I worry about the riots that will ensue. The NYPD have enough on their plates just keeping NY safe. The trial time estimation is 4 yrs. monies taxpayers will be forking out for extra protection.
RIP Jane you will never be forgotten.
November 13, 2009 at 2:34 pm
I also will be raising my glass in honor of Jane tonight! Thank you for sharing her memory with us. God bless you guys, God bless Jane & GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
November 13, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Holder has chosen NYC on purpose. This venue will enable him to get a mistrial because the defense will claim that they can’t find a jury that isn’t tainted.
Jane, if you were here, I’d be arm in arm with you screaming expletives from the roof top. And kicking Holder in the balls.
A terrorist shot up soldiers in Texas.
Terrorists are returned to NYC.
What the hell is NEXT with this administration??????
America: Are you awake yet?
Because if you don’t wake up, you will get what you deserve.

Not only that it will provide non stop distraction for the other things on his agenda, amnesty for illegals and cap and trade.
November 13, 2009 at 6:57 pm
If I was an American citizen, and had the opportunity to be in New York…. I would do exactly the same thing… and I would go heavy with the expletives.
Eric Holder is the most disgusting person and what he has done is so very, every evil.
It goes to show that this lot do not care about the people of New York.
Am I in love with New York? YES I am. I was there in July for a few short days. This time around I got to meet a few of the people, especially those who serve in the hotels. I found them willing to cooperate with my particular dietary needs and with a willingness that I did not find elsewhere.
There should not be any trial in NYC for those creepy murderers.
November 13, 2009 at 3:01 pm
We live in California, but my husband works for one of the companies that had offices located in the Towers. When the South tower went down, everyone in his office knew it because the computers all shut down as they lost the feed from the antenna located on the tower. It was eerie. New Yorkers feel 9/11 most keenly, but we were all affected that day. This may be the biggest abomination so far committed by this administration yet.
November 13, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Hillbuzz, I too was brought up in a strict Catholic household and have long since left the church. I no longer have a stomach for organized religion. To me, it’s not about enhancing your relationship with a higher power, it’s about control and money.
Hubby and I are very upset with this decision. I mean really, whose side is our President on anyway? This was an act of war and we are treating like a civil/criminal investigation. Mark my word, there will be a revolt in this country if these guys end up with a mistrial because they weren’t read their rights when they were captured. Perhaps that’s Obama’s intent, afterall, Lenin knew he needed a revolution to bring about Communism.
November 13, 2009 at 3:09 pm
I wonder how many liberals Dr. Utopia has managed to push so far to the right that they can now be considered conservatives. I don’t think the Dems realize how easy it is for people to unite when they share a common enemy.
You guys have a great blog, keep up the good work. If I can ever get half as much quality content on ym own I will be ecstatic.
November 13, 2009 at 3:14 pm
I question the man’s intelligence, more every day – while Russia, North Korea and Iran snicker at his weakness (read that press), he does nothing but embolden those capable of such attrocities. Moron and nitwit are simply not strong enough. He makes Carter look like a flipping genious.
November 14, 2009 at 8:47 am
And being old enough to really remember the Carter ‘years’ I have ever since truely believed I would never see another President so unqualified and actually ‘horrid’. Sadly, I have lived long enough now to be proven absolutely wrong!
November 13, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Today my dear little-brother-type friend, “Francis, not Frank!,” sent me an e-mail. He entitled it “Fire and brimstone,” and this was the content:
“Stumbled upon this blog via hotair.com. http://hillbuzz.org/2009/11/10/thank-you-former-president-george-w-bush-and-former-first-lady-laura-bush/
Powerful stuff!”
Fran is a straight guy, navy vet, a conservative Indy, who is a champion of gays and is very proud of his developed feminine side. Sings like Sinatra. Knows how to dress women, and screw you if you don’t like it.
We were housemates at the Jersey shore. He helped get me thru my mom’s illness and death. Always had a margarita (or six) ready for me when I’d come back home for a few days. He’d cook me recipes from Giada and Alton Brown, and got me into watching women’s curling during the Olympics. When I moved Johnny into the house after Mom died, Fran was like a big brother to him (even though Johnny is older than Fran!).
That Fran should stumble upon the writings of men who mean as much to me as he does made me very happy today, in spite of this horrible KSM (and other) news.
I just e-mailed him this piece of yours, HillBuzz, because upon his reading it, I know he will immediately understand why I love you guys with all my heart.
FOR JANE! For Angel and Steve and Jon. For all the angels of the WTC on 9/11. And for our angels on Earth, the MEN OF HILL BUZZ.
November 14, 2009 at 2:07 am
Garlic,
We love you too. We honestly mean that. We look forward to many things in life, but one of them is definitely meeting you in person someday. Hopefully in 2010!

Fuckin A.
I just can not flipping believe this pig has wings and is flying this crap. I’ve been furious all day. I don’t think I’ve been quite this angry since the attacks themselves. Just what in the hell does this MOTUS (Moron of the United States) think he’s doing?
And seriously, Eric Holder attempting to assure us that he’s got our best interests at heart when he refused to prosecute clear voter intimidation isn’t flying either.
November 13, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Vivianlouisee, I don’t recall your having posted on HB before, but I am THRILLED that you are here! I like your style, and “MOTUS”? Priceless. Standing O for you, from me! :)
November 14, 2009 at 8:50 am
MOTUS!
Too fabulous.
Till now I have ever referred to him as ‘the filthy liar’. Have I permission to co-op your far superior moniker?
November 14, 2009 at 9:34 am
MOTUS – very clever – but isn’t it offensive to compare this jerk to other morons? What have they done to deserve that comparison? LOL.
November 13, 2009 at 3:56 pm
how about taking issue with all the idiots that DID vote for the empty suit rathert han those that didn’t vote at all. Those sitting it out are not the only reason the Fraud won.
All those others that are to lazy, sat on their fat a$$es and couldn’t be bothered spending 15 minutes researching the candidate before casting their vote get the lions share of the blame. Along with those that don’t care if it was Idi Amin, just as long as the skin is black they will vote for him

Sickening. This guy is going to make Jimmy Carter look like the greatest president ever before he’s finished. Why don’t they just hang a giant neon sign that says “Attack us!” over NYC?
I am betting there are a whole lot of US military guys who are enacting a new policy of putting a bullet between the eyes of these scumbags instead of capturing them.
November 13, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Hillary would not have done this.
McCain would not have done this.
Rudy sure as hell would not have done this (see his remarks here) http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MDUzZmRmZWMzNmNmNWFlNDI4MWJmMzBjNTA2MDRiZWI=
Obama and “General” Holder do not seem to understand who is the enemy and who needs protection, these days. Neither of them were involved in the aftermath of 9/11, in NYC. They are ignorant and vile and dangerous.
Mrs. Clinton was our senator during 9/11. She saw the carnage, she saw the grief. She smelled that damn awful smell that stayed in the nostrils for hours.
I am hoping and praying she will say “that’s enough,” and disassociate herself from this presidency and prepare to run against this dubious character we now have in office. I hope she takes a stand against this.
November 13, 2009 at 4:22 pm
What a bunch of friggin imbeciles this administration is! New York? They will purposefully end up inciting riots. If the courthouse isn’t bombed, if the jurors are picked off, if the judge isn’t murdered, the whole city will go into convulsions if there is a mistrial or acquital. Newspapers will be teaming with stories, the courtroom artists brimming with portrayals of the mocking antics of the sheik as he pisses yet again on the “great satan” America as the courtroom is transmorphed into a stage for Islamic invective. Who is paying for the security? Who is paying for the citywide disruption? Will they fly air force one overhead at the start of the trial just to scare the crap out of everyone one more time and Michelle can get her nipples hard over finally being ‘proud’ all over again. Revolting! Hideous! Pathetic decision. I am beginning to despise these people.
November 13, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Robert, they are NOT imbeciles. The Obamites are stealthy manipulaters with an agenda to destroy the United States as we have known it.
Buzz Lower Manahattan for a photo-op…no problem. And then let some low level staffer fall on the proverbial sword for ‘upset’ it caused.
Why don’t they just paint a huge bullseye on NYC for the Jihadi’s? (Are painting jobs ‘brush ready’ like the highly tauted ’shovel ready?’)
To give war criminals, WHO HAVE ALREADY PROFESSED THEIR GUILT…THEY WANT MARTRYDOM!!! a ‘fair trial’ in our Criminal Courts is assinine.
Notice too how the C-i-C dodged the questioning of this…’its Eric Holder’s call.’ What? Who is in charge in DC? Apparently The Won even acknowledges its ‘not him.’
G-d help us all.
November 13, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Asinine, imbecilic, splitting a hair. Kind of like asking what sauce do you want on your gemelli; marinara or tomato? I get your point, I’m sure you get mine.

I heard on a radio show today that there is a state of the art courtroom built with millions of our dollars right there in Gitmo! Built specifically for trying these cretins. Why oh why are they bringing him here.
November 13, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I’m waiting for the riots that’ll break out if/when KSM gets acquitted, or the judge throws out the charges.
I’m not suggesting that NYPD would look the other way when the rioters showed up and dragged KSM to Ground Zero and hung him from a light post, but they might find themselves delayed over in Brooklyn, or the Bronx.
November 13, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Shamelessly stolen from Redstate:
What do Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the September 11th terrorist attacks, and uninsured 20 year olds have in common?
In Barack Obama’s America, they both go to jail — but the terrorist has to be convicted first.
Part of me wants to laugh bitterly, another part is waiting for the New Yorkers to dish out their brand of justice, and the third part is waiting for the gods to punish The Won for his hubris.
2,500 years later, we’re still living in a Greek tragedy.
November 13, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Will President and Mrs. Obama be meeting KSM for date night in NYC anytime during the trial???? Just asking !!!!!

I have two friends whose sons never met their fathers thanks to KSM and his bastards. By an act of God, I still have my husband who missed his train and was not in his office on the 86th floor of Tower Two. I have done 3 tours in Iraq helping fight the IEDs these bastards have exploded on our Soldiers. And the man I am supposed to salute as my Commander in Chief does this to us.
I just let out a string of expletives that would make Jane blush.

What a freakin’ travesty this deal is. I mean, if there are any New Yorkers out there that think bringing these people to NY and holding a civilian trial is the right thing to do, I humbly ask that you allow us to agree to disagree. This goes so far beyond even poor taste that it is just mind boggling.
Does anyone other than me wonder WITH (that’s an acronym BTW) Obama and Holder are trying to do to this country? I mean giving the NBPP a pass on their voter intimidation deal in Philly, to reopening the can of worms that are the CIA agent/torture hearings, to this? To think, I had *almost* begun to think that it couldn’t get any worse – then this. Please, someone wake me when this nightmare is over! lol No, I will not sleep – but it is becoming a surrealistic nightmare. A trainwreck, happening in extreme slow-mo.

‘We can’t stop what Dr. Utopia has set in motion for New York, which now must suffer through 5-10 years of anguish with KSM being tried there…increased invitations for terror attacks included.’
It’s like Squat and Holder are determined to punish us.
What they are doing really is torture and they should be tried and hung for it.
Unfrigginbeleiveable.

As a neighbour from the Great White North’s Best Coast (i.e. British Columbia) who has recently discovered this delightful blog (an oasis in the desert of North American liberalism), pls allow me to add my vote of appreciation to HB.
I could not believe my ears when hearing “Dr. Utopia” [I love that depiction!] “let’s not jump to conclusions/judgement” last week – nor could I believe my eyes when reading that KSM is about to benefit from all the protections afforded under current US law … not to mention the hyper-protections of Political Correctness.
This unfathomable decision (choice?!) also makes me wonder about the official charge announced yesterday against Nidal Hassan: murder, which it obviously is. BUT, why not also treason (which, to my mind, at least is equally obvious) … not to mention the other T-word?
Yes, it was announced that the investigation is ongoing, and that further charges may be laid. However, considering that various agencies have already announced their determination that the T-word does not apply, and that HN’s lawyer has already declared that HN “could not get a fair military trial at Ft Hood”, why do I have a nagging feeling that the “murder” charge is a way of enabling the whitewash brigade to complete their mission?!
And an equally nagging feeling that the murder charge will either be plea-bargained away, or punishment avoided by a plea of “insanity”?

as much as i’m disgusted by this turn of events, i’m also not the least bit surprised.
this presidency has never missed an opportunity to snub or undermine our military, why should he step out of character now??

Sorry, I have to be preachy and say:
Remember, religions are made up of people; flawed, sinful people. They reject others, they twist God’s message, and they create conflict. But God’s love is perfect, all encompassing, and never ending. And His love is for everyone.
Ok, that being said, this whole trial in NYC is outrageous. I hope it really blows up in O’s face (no pun intended).

Haven’t you ever thought that the Obama Admin doesn’t give a s*** about what anyone thinks about anything???? Their mission is to make everyone made as hell! They don’t care!

Hillbuzz,
I thought I would give you a happy dance for the weekend. This quote is taken from the WSJ’s review of Sarah’s new book.
-And she praises Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, writing, ”Should Secretary Clinton and I ever sit down over a cup of coffee, I know that we will fundamentally disagree on many issues, but my hat is off to her hard work on the 2008 campaign trail.”
No doubt Sarah is a Hillary fan. Now only if Hillary would be a Sarah fan!
November 14, 2009 at 2:09 am
Colorado,
Look at the people advising Sarah.
Look at the people who were Democrats for McCain.
Clinton people back her.
Clinton people never cross the Clintons…most of us would die first.
Sarah is getting all the Clinton support possible.

Let’s get on the phone to our congress people and let them know how they feel about this! This is a travesty and an outrage, and you know it is coming from Obama, not Holder.

No doubt there are plans even now to call GWB, Cheney, et al as witnesses! It’s all part of the ‘grand plan’ to continue to :

November 13, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Lordy, I hate to do this. Especailly as I have spent most of the day at a simmer about this.
BUT…
There may be some actual thought behind this. Reason thusly -
What do these thugs want most? Mary Quite said it: “To give war criminals, WHO HAVE ALREADY PROFESSED THEIR GUILT…THEY WANT MARTRYDOM!!!…” They want to be martyrs for their cause.
So, try him as a common thug, in the jurisdicion of his crime MIGHT be an attempt to deny him the role of soldier and martyr. Try him as you would a robber or rapist or thief. Life without parole. In some hole of a prison (Solidad maybe? or how about a hog farm in Arkansas?)
But, I don’t think our CiC (Capon in Chief) has really thought it through. As others have pointed out, the trial will put the crosshairs right back on NYC.
November 13, 2009 at 9:05 pm
what the hell is this?
they are going to give terrorists the same rights as american citizens?!??!?!?
I am so pissed… this marxist truely loathes America… this is not a civilian crime! this was an act of war against our country!
November 13, 2009 at 9:26 pm
This is insanity, pure and simple, And for what end? Given all the jurisdictional and evidentiary issues, how can this trial proceed? Will there be a motion to dismiss all the evidence because of chain of custody issues and “torture” claims? Will any statements be suppressed because he was not given Miranda warnings? The courts were made to adjudicate cases based on the rule of law, not terrorist enemies of the U.S. who were seized abroad during war. What prosecutor would want to put his life at risk by trying this case? Who would want to be on the jury? Look at all the precautions they take for juries in organized crime cases. Plus, the security will be a nightmare. And what if, God forbid, he is actually acquitted? Are we really going to let him walk out into Foley Square and go…where? If Obama and Holder were merely incompetent that would be bad enough, but they are putting all of us at risk by this.
November 13, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I hadn’t considered the antics of ‘the Muslim street’ a la OJ & MJ trials {also, remember Rodney King?} – personally, *I* believe Dr. Utopia is looking for a vacated conviction, due to “prejudicial pre-trial” circumstances; should KSM fall under NYS law, rather than federal, I’m not too sure that he’d receive the death penalty – NY juries are notoriously reluctant to impose them.
THE biggest issue, IMO, is the absolute INSISTENCE on the part of Dr. Utopia et al on affording these misogynists U.S. Constitutional safeguards – it won’t make a popcorn fart’s worth of difference to those who are intent on “our” collective submission ………………….. those who don’t wish our deaths accept the idea of our Constitution – KSM/ObL et al wouldn’t recognize the enlightenment it represents if it bit’em in the a$$!

I understand your reasons for losing your faith but I hope we can all pray and work each day for the deliverance of our country.

I agree that Hillary never would have done this but I don’t understand how she can keep working for this misguided and contemptable administration. She represented NY in the senate, for heaven’s sake! She should resign Monday, at the latest and start campaining against Obamao (China’s new nickname for him – the Chinese know exactly who he is!)

The timing of this stupid decision strongly suggests that it was a payoff to the far left in the House of Representatives for voting for “the Beast” despite the provision that the Federal Government could not pay for abortions.

As a NYC resident, I’m furious about KSM’s trial being brought to NYC, as are most New Yorkers that I’ve spoken to. Of course, Mayor Bloomberg thinks its a great idea…..
http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/1109/Bloomberg_NYC_terror_trial_is_fitting_.html
There are so many things wrong with this idea, most of them already posted above. What the hell happened to this country?
November 14, 2009 at 9:45 am
This is all about slapping Bush and the CIA. “SEE! We told you that the guy could be convicted without waterboarding evidence!” KSM won’t be put on trial, but the Bush Administration will be.
It’s a dog and pony show, a liberal circus. Cheering in glee, they’ll be clapping all of the way through…
Right until the time when KSM is able to get this whole f***ing thrown out of court. Think any of thse guys were read Miranda on the battlefield? Coerced confessions? Chain of evidence?
How do I know this is the motivation? Because apparently they were ready to go with the military tribunal and KSM had already said that he wanted to plead guilty. It was stopped by the OA. There would have been no lengthy trial, just the formality of it all, then the sentencing. One dead terrorist or one thrown in jail for life. Case closed.
Instead now it’s 5 years of insanity in NYC with the very real possiblity that these guys could walk. And then we’ll be served up with ‘but the American court system, in all of it’s glory, is what won today!”
After all of this. 3,000 people dead and two wars, the masterminds that started this whole tragic chain of events, could be set free.
And if that happens, the OA will blame it on the Bush Administration and the bobbleheaded bots will go ayuk ayuk and justice will not be served.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. We had him and now we’re going to risk losing him. Foolishly dangerous.
I will say this, something that I said to a dear progressive friend when his first pronouncements came out about closing GITMO at the beginning of the year ‘if even ONE American dies as a result of this, you will hear a hue and cry across this nation unlike anything that has ever been said before. There are some things that are not forgivable’.

Maybe POTUS had some warm and fuzzies thinking about his days in the madras while growing up in Indonesia.
He wants him tried on US soil? Send him to Chicago. We New Yorkers (at least this one are not on board.

This is it… the absolutely crucial moment for Hillary to resign as SOS. As the former senator from New York and as someone who loves her country – she needs to make a statement NOW. She’s been marginalized at every turn by this administration anyway. This is her moment to move against her 2012 primary opponent. If ya’ll have an inside track as friends of Hillary, please get word to her that she would be supported by all but the hardest left Americans in this decision. And more – she would be admired for it.

Trial in NYC doesn’t seem likely to me. Maybe I’m just an idiot, but it seems like any defense attorney would immediately move to have the trial location changed in order to obtain some semblance of an impartial jury. This virtually guarantees to send the courtroom circus onward as a travelling show!
Of course, I wonder where would you find an impartial jury in the US concerning 9/11? The event touched everyone who calls themselves American, even if we didn’t lose anyone that day.
The other thing I’m considering is, how can a President knowingly expose his citizens to life threatening danger by asking them to be jurors for this court? The jury of KSM will be targets by jihadists from now until the day they die.
Worst decision by a standing president in our 233 year history.

I’m sorry for your loss. Jane sounds like a character.
On the international law front, this is not in compliance with the Geneva Conventions of Land Warfare. Under the Geneva Conventions (which as a treaty is international law) persons found on a battlefield and detained can be subjected to a military tribunal, convened by the theater commander, to determine their status. There are three possible options.
1. Non Combatant – Self explanatory
2. Lawful Combatant – Must have valid ID, wear a uniform, carry weapons only, and only attack targets of military significance. Lawful combatants may be detained without trial for the duration of hostilities.
3. Unlawful Combatant – Any combatant not in compliance with the requirements of a lawful combatant is to be considered an UNLAWFUL combatant. Unlawful combatants may be held without trial (or writ of habeus corpus, despite what the ACLU may think) for the duration of the hostilities, executed at the discretion of the theater commander, or surrendered to international authorities for trial as a war criminal.
As an unlawful enemy combatant, KSM is not eligible for any form of trial other than one as a war criminal. There are those who say that because Congress never officially declared war, he can not be an unlawful combatant. That makes a much sense as saying that if you don’t declare it a fight when someone punches you in the nose, it isn’t a fight. It only takes one side to declare war. Our side needs to wake up to that fact.
