Abdulmutallab Indicted
[Guest post by DRJ]
Northwest Flight 253 bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was indicted today in Detroit on 6 charges:
“A six-count indictment handed down Wednesday charges Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, attempted murder and other charges. No terrorism charge has been filed to date.”
The maximum penalty Abdulmutallab currently faces is life in prison, but Obama Administration counterterrorism adviser John Brennan already says he will be offered a deal:
“U.S. investigators have said Abdulmutallab told them he received training and instructions from al-Qaida operatives in Yemen. His father warned the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria that his son had drifted into extremism in Yemen, but that threat was never fully digested by the U.S. security apparatus.
Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, has said Abdulmutallab would be offered a plea deal in exchange for valuable information about his contacts in Yemen and elsewhere.”
Given the Obama Administration’s recent negotiations with and release of terrorists, including “key members” of terror cells responsible for the death of Americans, it’s not surprising the Administration is willing to negotiate with Abdulmutallab. The likely result is that Abdulmutallab will someday go home, perhaps even before he’s an old man, and there will be more Abdulmutallabs.

He will go free. The only sentence will be time served. Judges?? are already throwing out evidence against terrorists captured overseas as it will be for every one of the POTUS’s friends he transfers from Gitmo. Once they hit U.S. soil they will be free to assist the POTUS in killing Americans who oppose him.

redc1c4 (fb8750) — 1/8/2010 @ 8:11 pmAbsolute fucking bullshit. Treating terrorists as criminals and giving them a slap on the wrist is the same as letting pedophiles be teachers.
These idiots will never get a clue.
Dopey (a812c5) — 1/8/2010 @ 8:14 pmYep, our civilian courts are now doing exactly what they’re supposed to do, protecting our rights and giving due process.
The problem is that you can’t treat acts of war as simple crimes, as we’re seeing now.
the incompetent buffoons that are running this show have no clue what they have done, and continue to do, using our own system and beliefs against us.

Hey, maybe Roman Polanski can teach some film classes if we ever get him back to this country. Suh-weeeet.
daleyrocks (718861) — 1/9/2010 @ 7:58 amThe dumb little shit could have been a future president of Nigeria. I find some understanding in that fact that he had a ten-year, multiple-entry visa to the United States. We need to watch out for the children of billionaires as well as for the children of goatherders but I don’t know that it will happen.
