I’m watching President Obama’s first State of The Union Address. I really can’t believe it. He’s presented a bunch of ideas with no legislation to support them:
On a side note, watching “Stretch” Pelosi grinning like the Crypt Keeper behind him makes me want to vomit.
The 5 surviving known 9/11 conspirators, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be tried in CIVILIAN CRIMINAL court. This means that since some of them were "tortured" some evidence will likely be inadmissible in court.
This is a mistake for several reasons. These people are not U.S. Citizens, and therefore have no right to the protections offered by our Constitution. They are enemy combatants, and as such should be tried in MILITARY court. The methods used to interrogate them were necessary. They participated in the worst attack on American soil in history. Any information that was obtained from them should have been obtained by any means necessary.
This trial will go on for YEARS, and cost untold millions of dollars to taxpayers. More importantly, the civilian criminal trial system is designed to protect the accused from unjust prosecution. The defense lawyers will use every tool available to game the system. Though it may sound far-fetched, it’s even possible that some or all of them will walk free.
Make no mistake, although A.G. Holder made the announcement, this was President Obama's decision. Those of you who voted for this clown made a big mistake. This is yet one more piece of evidence to support my assertion.

Here’s a brilliant illustration of this (from June 2009):
