The Biden administration, following up on the work of the Obama administration, has managed to free nearly every Al Qaeda terrorist from Gitmo.
Here are some highlights that I’ve documented
Biden Frees Al Qaeda Ally Who Plotted to Smuggle Nukes Into US
Biden Frees Alternate 9/11 Hijacker and Military Base Truck Bomb Plotter
Biden Frees Al Qaeda Terrorist Involved in Marriott Bombing
Biden Frees Gitmo Terrorist Linked to Chanukah Murder of Israeli Children
Last year, I warned that Biden was trying to finish the job of closing Gitmo by cutting a deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, and a few Jihadists even worse than the one above, whom even the current administration doesn’t feel quite ready to straight-up release in an election year.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the September 11 attacks, not to mention multiple other plots and acts of terror including the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the brutal murder of Daniel Pearl, was captured in March 2003.
19 years later the trial has yet to go anywhere.
Attorney General Eric Holder had promised that Mohammed would receive the death penalty. Numerous politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, assured 9/11 families he would. But Mohammed understood that, like his Taliban allies, all he had to do was wait out America.
And now the waiting is nearly over and 9/11 families, whom Biden already robbed of a settlement from a lawsuit that he redirected to the Taliban, are being notified of the dirty deal that’s coming.
The Pentagon and FBI have notified some of the families of victims of the 9/11 attacks that suspected terrorist mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four other defendants could be spared the death penalty under plea agreements being considered by the Biden administration.
The notice came in the form of a letter, obtained by the Associated Press, that was sent to 9/11 families as the government explores how to resolve the more than decade-long prosecution of the alleged terrorists.
“The Office of the Chief Prosecutor has been negotiating and is considering entering into pre-trial agreements,” the letter informs families, adding that while no plea agreement “has been finalized, and may never be finalized, it is possible that a [pre-trial agreement] in this case would remove the possibility of the death penalty.”
Despicable and inevitable. After 20 years, there’s still no trial and there is a plea deal. Compare this disgrace to how we did it in WWII.
In 1942, with the war underway, Nazi saboteurs brought here by submarine were arrested by the FBI. They were caught in June, tried in July, and sent to the electric chair in August.
And that was for enemy operatives who had not even managed to kill a single American.
Meanwhile after 19 years of having the mastermind of the murder of thousands of Americans in custody, he has yet to be convicted and is unlikely now to pay the price for his crimes.
The question is how long after the plea deal will we be told that KSM is sick and we should just release him to the Saudis or Qataris where they’ll keep him out of trouble?
“How can you have any faith in it?” Jim Riches, a retired deputy fire chief in New York City who lost his son Jimmy — also a firefighter — on Sept. 11, 2001, told the Associated Press about the government’s update.
“No matter how many letters they send, until I see it, I won’t believe it,” Riches said about the prospect of justice for his son’s death, lamenting that “those guys are still alive. Our children are dead” nearly 22 years after the attacks.
Peter Brady, whose father was killed in the attack, received the letter this week and said the case “needs to go through the legal process.”
It’s about “holding people responsible, and they’re taking that away with this plea,” Brady told the Associated Press.
Frankly, those “people” needed to be pumped for everything they had abroad, then hung from the nearest palm tree. Instead the Bush administration let itself be talked out of doing the right thing, the military trials system was revived, but the people involved in it are not patriots and began playing procedural games. The trials went nowhere even as law firms, some paid by the Saudis, some just consisting of leftists, eagerly swarmed to defend Al Qaeda and Taliban jihadis pro-bono. And now here we are.
This is why drone strikes make sense. It’s also why it’s a good thing that Osama didn’t surrender. Biden would be offering him a plea deal too.
Any kind of normative legal system makes no sense for enemy combatants taken prisoner abroad who don’t follow the laws of war. The standard approach to such insurgents is that they can be killed out of hand.
Period.
The laws of war do not apply to terrorists. The only reason to take prisoners is to obtain information. After that, finish the job, don’t do it on American soil or any territory we legally control to limit the lawfare.
We had the opportunity to do these things after 9/11 when we were united in our resolve, when we knew who the enemy was, and before we had collapsed into schizoid infighting and endless conspiracy theories. Now it will take something even worse than 9/11 to wake us up. Or the even more horrific prospect that there won’t be a climatic event, instead, like Europe, we’ll be slowly devoured by mass terror migration.
And our politicians, like Biden, will openly serve the enemy.
I forgive the British for poisoning Napoleon Bonaparte.
Technically they just let him get sicker and sicker in poor living conditions. Then again, potato, potatoe.
I was under the impression analysis of his remains a century and a half after his passing revealed heavy metal concentrations consistent with death by poisoning.
I’m not making this up. But I am not mounting a research project. I don’t care enough.
I think they found arsenic in his remains.
Obama’s treacherous legacy continues during his 3rd term, via his puppet on strings Biden.
Destroy America and promote chaos and evil, in the name of jihad.
Next, some judge will order his release on the grounds he didn’t get a speedy trial.
I never thought I’d live to see the day this country would be so bad off. I won’t be around that much longer, but I really worry about what my kids and grandkids will have to live through.
Same here gary. Stay Well.
The violent terrorists who attacked out country and killed thousands of defenseless people should be allowed to live. It’s the most innocent among us, the unborn, who deserve to die. /sarc
After all, they never did anything to this country and its people that the Democrats wouldn’t like to have done, themselves.
I don’t know which Mario Brother he is but that excessive body hair is grotesque.
Actually that is Rosie O”Donnell prior to makeup……so I am told.
Good one! It does look like her.
Bien cares more about appeasing the enemy then he cares about America more reasons for his Impeachment and Trial for Treason
Name an American President who has hated his country and his countrymen more if you can.
Obama and Biden are tied for first place. Damn them both.
As Mr. Greenfield notes, the mastermind of that something that happened in a September, Kahlid Sheik Mohammed, was to be brought to justice in a Manhattan court. “Attorney General Eric Holder had promised that Mohammed would receive the death penalty. ”
I’ve been traveling and haven’t kept up on the local news. How’s the trial going? I realize that the wheels of justice grind slowly and that the wheels of social justice don’t grind at all, unless a Republican President is in the dock, but…hasn’t the “mastermind” been sent on to his reward yet? I mean, come on, he was arrested in 2003.
“And our politicians, like Biden, will openly serve the enemy.” That’s true Mr. Greenfield. I guess that’s the price we must pay for achieving the fundamental transformation of America.
A long time ago a fitting end for Khalid would have been put in a room in a very tall abandoned building and one end of the room being drenched in jet fuel and set aflame. He gets to choose burning to death or jumping to his death. We don’t do these things though because I guess we are civilized or something…
No, it’s because our politicians are all traitors.
Isn’t there a guard at Gitmo who would be prepared to put a bullet or ten in him?
Or a mercenary?
