Justice Delayed
Holder’s friends in the al-Qaeda bar caused the trial delays he now criticizes.
By Andrew C. McCarthy
Of all the infuriating aspects of the decision to transfer five 9/11 war criminals to civilian federal court, the one that grates most is the contention that the Obama administration is finally moving forward after “eight years of delay” — as Attorney General Eric Holder put it at his Friday press conference — during which the Bush administration managed to complete only three military-commission trials.
This is chutzpah writ large. The principal reason there were so few military trials is the tireless campaign conducted by leftist lawyers to derail military tribunals by challenging them in the courts. Many of those lawyers are now working for the Obama Justice Department. That includes Holder, whose firm, Covington & Burling, volunteered its services to at least 18 of America’s enemies in lawsuits they brought against the American people. (During 2007 alone, Covington contributed more than 3,000 hours of free, top-flight legal assistance to our enemy detainees.)
Andy McCarthy knows what of he speaks. He is the United States Attorney who led the 1995 terrorism prosecution against Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and eleven others.
Andy McCarthy is a serious man. For a man like Andy McCarthy to, essentially, charge the President, his Attorney General, and their accomplices, with aiding the enemy (in the form of volunteering their services to our those who sought and succeeded in killing us) is no small thing.
None dare call it treason? What do you think?

Obama has granted KSM and his accomplices the same rights as American citizens.
These rights do not belong to them. Americans fight and die to preserve these Liberties and Rights.
KSM fought to kill those who fight and die for our Liberties and Rights.
In granting these American Rights to our enemy, OBAMA IS GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO OUR ENEMIES.
THAT IS TREASON.
THE MAN SHOULD BE SITTING IN A PRISON CELL, NOT THE OVAL OFFICE.
