The Cowardly Zionist

MANIFESTO

Not surprisingly, Senator Spineless is joining Republicans in criticizing the Obama administration's decision to try alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees in civilian federal court in New York.

"The terrorists who planned, participated in, and aided the September 11, 2001 attacks are war criminals, not common criminals.

"Not only are these individuals not common criminals but war criminals, they are also not American citizens entitled to all the constitutional rights American citizens have in our federal courts. The individuals accused of committing these heinous, cowardly acts of intentionally targeting unsuspecting, defenseless civilians should therefore be tried by military commission rather than in civilian courts in the United States."

Steve Benen has more on this pusillanimous hysteria.
