House Representative, Schiff (D-CA), Exclaims We Should Give Terrorists Due Process Like Our Troops
Sheer insanity I tell you! We are living in the twilight zone… All for the sake of political correctness?
We should give terrorists due process and treat them just like our soldiers? The same guys that plotted to kill innocent American citizens? This is just nuts.
The Wall Street Journal tends to take issue with due process for terrorists based upon national security reasons and documents that would have to be disclosed.
“How will judges prevent the public disclosure of classified material? What about Miranda rights, or evidence obtained under battlefield conditions?
“Such questions nearly scuttled the Justice Department’s case against Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, which flamed out last week with a sentence of only 15 years. According to the plea agreement, al-Marri entered the U.S. on September 10, 2001 on orders from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to begin research on chemical weapons and potential targets. Prosecutors were hampered by the possibility of disclosing intelligence sources and methods, as well as (yet another) political flare-up about interrogation and detention.“
John Boehner and the House Republicans, on the other hand, are trying to pass a bill in the House that would prevent terrorists from being released on U.S. soil.
