Airliner Attack
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, suspected terrorist, was reportedly aided by former Guantanamo prisoners.

ABC News:

Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans.

American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials.

You want us to cower to them so you can live without fear. It's people like you that are going to cause the demise of this country.

Put our OWN leaders on trial? What other country would do that?

No, everything he said is exactly RIGHT. You don't care about this country and that there is a real e vil movement he ll bent on our destruction. Continue to live in your fantasy world and let real Americans deal with this abomination.

All the countries who are doing well put their own leaders on trial. The justice system is broken. Corruption by elites is the sole cause of this country's decline say William K. Black. Don't pretend to know me or my psychology. You can't love this country and not have faith in the human spirit. Rather than ever examine yourself and your crimes of manifest destiny, you with no psych degree pretend to know what others have in their hearts and you ignore, just like the Germans in H's Germany, the crimes of your government that ignores its own laws and the laws of the world. You can't h ate the world and love democracy and human rights. Your mentality is criminal.

I demand all Gitmo prisoners be released now. Over their home country. From at least 20000 ft or higer.

The Detroit terror flight was a false flag operation and here's the proof.

'I was on this flight today and am thankful to be alive. My wife and I were returning from an African safari and had this connecting flight through Amsterdam. I sat in row 27, which was 7 rows behind the terrorist. I got to see the whole thing take place and it was very scary. Thanks to a few quick acting people I am still alive today'......Con't

Two federal agencies charged with keeping potential terrorists off airplanes and out of the country have been without their top leaders for nearly a year.

It took the Obama administration more than eight months to nominate anyone to lead the Transportation Security Administration and the Customs and Border Protection agency.

The reactions of the Bush administration to 9/11 stoked more terrorist then anything besides our unquestioning support of the oppressive Israeli government.

Is that right?

How do you explain then, that the worst terrorist act EVER happened BEFORE the reaction.

How do you explain 9-11?

We should be out in the streets like the people are in Iran, but no, because of racism we cannot believe that white boys are behind this too.

Ya know this guy was from Yemen, we started bombing Yemen last week with drones, killed some 64 people, women and children. However, we don't hear about this, because our News Media sucks. Isn't it ironic that after we start bombing them, they attempt to bomb us. We succeeded in killing allot of people, they succeed in none. Maybe if we would stop the killing and get out of the Middle East, they might stop coming here. Oh thats right they are already here. Within our own borders, there are so many foreigners here from all over the World, if they really wanted to hurt us, they could have already done it. They probably have the ability to do it now, but they don't.

We Americans are so stupid and get in a panic of because we are scared.. Now security at the airports will be even worse, are we all going to have to be strip searched now? This Country is getting to be a Society of Panic People, we have allowed the media/Government to scare us to death, and whose real freedoms are being taken away. We the people. Wake up America.

Question:

How much longer will we keep playing games with these t@rrorists?

Answer:

3 more years.
12:25 PM on 12/29/2009
As many times as it takes to let them win so "america will get what it has coming to it" and then liberals can be at peace with themselves.

7 and 1/2 years of the Bush admin clearly wasn't long enough.
12:20 PM on 12/29/2009
Both sides on this issue should save some energy. Because due to the comfort zone that Obama has created for people who would do harm to americans and their allies, this is just the beginning.

Art Therapy Rehabilitation Program? Astounding! They should make these guys clean the carnage up after a suicide bombing and every other terrorist attack.

We should be able to put to death terrorists in civil court just as easily as in a military tribunal. Why don’t we adjust or update the civil court laws and remove the pentagon turf war altogether?
12:08 PM on 12/29/2009
Yes, Bush and Cheeney should be prosecuted.

Because allowing men who were t_ortured to testify to that in an open court is now allowed and would, by law, necessitate their releases for violations of law and due process.

I would not let them go just for that. Perhaps this congress can make the rules any way they wish. Either way, moving forward we should just set this up once and for all. The issue is unlike traditional war conflict these people are attacking civilians outside of a theater. Extending the Pentagon's power here creates a military state. Due process should only attach once they are in the civilian system.
