SPEAKING without a text in front of him, Barack Obama betrays a troubling lack of knowledge on important issues - such as the law and terrorism.
In his ABC interview last Monday, for example, Obama attacked the Bush approach on fighting terror. He claimed that, in the case of "the first attack against the World Trade Center, we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in US prisons, incapacitated."
As an assistant US attorney, Andrew McCarthy prosecuted the perpetrators of the 1993 WTC attack. He calls Obama's statement "a remarkably ignorant account of the American experience with jihadism."
Writing for National Review Online, McCarthy notes: "While the government managed to prosecute many people responsible for the 1993 WTC bombing, many also escaped prosecution because of the limits on civilian criminal prosecution.
"Some who contributed to the attack, like Khalid Sheik Mohammed, continued to operate freely because they were beyond the system's capacity to apprehend. Abdul Rahman Yasin was released prematurely because there was not sufficient evidence to hold him - he fled to Iraq, where he was harbored for a decade (and has never been apprehended)."

it gets worse. during the criminal prosecution, the defense has a right to discovery, during which the government was forced to divulge the identities of over 200 al quada operatives that we were aware of, and the fact that we were intercepting OBL's satellite telephone conversations.
the 200 compromised members of al quada immediately went deep underground, and the satellite phone conversations abruptly stopped.

he read it on Daily Kos and knew it had to be accurate.... :whatever:

Welcome to the criminal prosecution of the war on terror. The global war on terror is no longer in fashion. Oy.

I wonder . . . if bin laden is captured, will he be released on bail awaiting trial? . . . all you need is the right judge.
