That infamous "SOME" has crept back into the Faux News studio with a vengence! Their headline?
Some Fear Bush Administration Could Become Target in 9/11 Trial
I'm sure "SOME" do fear that possibility. "SOME" likely are making reseverations for an undisclosed location in a non extradition treaty country as I type. You see, for "SOME" there could be a high price to pay for agreeing with, urging on and cheerleading the torture of so called enemy combatants rounded up after the heinous events of September 11, 2001.
Then again, "SOME" might be inclinded to belive that a trial held in the city of New York, which sustained the bulk of the carnage that was visited upon our country on September 11, 2001, would give the trials of those that are accused of planning and assisting in carrying out the murder of innocent Americans on that day a real and legitimate opportunity to be tried in a Court of Justice as opposed to a Tribunal of Information suppression.
The difference for "SOME" is that there is a Rule of Law in our country that they don't want to see inacted on their behalf.
One citizen's Rule of Law is another citizen's nightmare, causing them to fear what may happen to them now that the DOJ has decided to give the alleged perpetrators of this disaster their day in court.
From SOME Faux News Bullshitainment Corporation:
Some critics say a civilian trial -- instead of a military tribunal -- for self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his accomplices could end up targeting the Bush administration and its anti-terror policies.
The Obama administration, in deciding to try alleged Sept. 11 conspirators in a New York courtroom, has said it is setting its sights on convictions, but some critics say a civilian trial -- instead of a military tribunal -- could end up targeting the Bush administration and its anti-terror policies.
One of those five defendants, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, has been at the center of the debate over those Bush-era polices, in particular the harsh interrogation techniques used on Mohammed and others in an effort to obtain information on Al Qaeda and any additional attacks.
"The government is going to try to put Khalid Sheik Mohammed on trial. Defense lawyers will try and put the government on trial," former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told Fox News.
The Justice Department says in a 2005 memo that CIA interrogators subjected Mohammed 183 times to waterboarding, a near-drowning technique described by Obama officials as illegal torture. But others disagree with Obama, most notably former Vice President Dick Cheney, who argues that the techniques used have kept the country safe from another attack.
Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder, announced in the summer that he would investigate whether CIA officers should be prosecuted for their interrogations, setting off intense debate over the prospect of prosecuting officials from the previous administration.
But on Friday, in announcing a civilian trial for Mohammed and four other detainees, Holder dismissed questions about whether politics was a factor in the decision.
"SOME" of the people that Faux Bullshitainment interviewed for this story include Karl Rove and Tom Ridge. Needless to say, they don't care for the idea of this trial coming to a court in the USA. I wonder if it's just the fear of actual justice being meted out for the alleged perpetrators of the terrorist attacks on our country, or if it is even more the fear of being shown to be the liars and torturers that they became after this tragic event.
WMD's my ass...
