More Legal Limbo

The alleged mastermind of the USS Cole bombing is off the hook, at least for the moment, as the presiding judge at his military commission trial has dropped charges, evidently at the behest of the Obama administration. The Cole bombing killed seventeen(17) US sailors and wounded many others. I am certain these victims' families are sickened by Obama's great concern for due process rights of bloody-handed terrorists. Somehow, I doubt al Qaeda will reciprocate, preferring to decapitate their American captives instead. Don't you feel better, safer, and so morally superior now that our Commander-in-chief has decided that unrepentant foreign murderers have more rights and access to the courts than poor US citizens like the one my home state of Tennessee executed this week despite lack of adequate counsel and a co-defendant who quite possibly was the actual trigger man in the double murder serving only five(5) years after being given the perverse incentive of being allowed, indeed encouraged for self-preservation to create someone to pass the blame to? Obama is no champion of justice or great defender of the homeland, but a naive showman trying to impress America-haters in the international left.
