“Show Trial”. This administration just gets better and better.

Isn’t it interesting how The WON proclaims we need to do this to show how just we are as a nation, that our own Constitution demands it, that we must be “better” than all others….

Yet, he transits the world, telling all how horrible we are, then holds this up, for a terrorist.

And…he’s already pre-staging a violation of The Constitution?

Do the people in this administration realize how hypocritical they act on a moment to moment basis.

And I agree: This is to destroy the National Security, nothing more.

How much more evidence does the voting population need that someone does not have the interest of keeping this nation safe and strong, particularly economically?

Yoo explains how Obama's show trial will grievously undermine American intelligence agencies. There are no adults in the Obama administration.

Curt, not to mention, if you’re right about the non-release, which a lot of democrats are claiming you are, then the president is claiming the right to cancel court decisions. Whether KSM is acquitted or not (I think he will confess again), it’s clear to me that Obama has no respect for the Constitutional implications.

If this is a criminal court case, then the president simply doesn’t have the right to hold someone who has been acquitted. That Gibbs is permitting this option to exist, even just to save a couple cynical points in the polls, is absolutely the opposite of what America is about. If it’s really such a case that we can’t let a guilty party go free yet, then it’s not a case for this kind of court.
