Three Leading Conservatives: "Civilian federal courts are the proper forum for terrorism cases"

Monday, November 16, 2009

After all the right-wing blather, idiocy and fearmongering about the Obama administration's decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other Gitmo detainees in civilian, federal courts, you've gotta love this from three conservative leaders.
Former Republican Congressman and Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr, David Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union and Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, have teamed up to urge the Gitmo detainees be taken to the U.S.

"The scaremongering about these issues should stop," Barr, Keene and Norquist wrote.

"Civilian federal courts are the proper forum for terrorism cases," they wrote. "Civilian prisons are the safe, cost effective and appropriate venue to hold persons in federal courts."
5, 4, 3, 2, 1...right wingnuts' heads explode.
