@B-Rob:

Care to share a link to anyone vouching for this? I heard this talking point yesterday, but the person who said it did not elaborate. So I am sure you would be happy to explain exactly what was disclosed.

Gang members and drug lords are no different than al Qaeda you say. Gang members and drug lords are no different than the animals from afar that plotted and carried out the attack on our homeland, that slaughtered almost 3000 innocent people in one single morning? Wiped out the WTC and put a big gaping hole in our Pentagon? Don’t even think we don’t have operational “murder for allah” cells within this country, we’ve already busted a number of them.

Have you any idea what the security was like when Massoui was on trial? Look it up. You think that was all for nothing? Tell me, how often are sections of cities shut down for the trials of gang members and drug lords?

Now, explain why military tribunals are just fine for the terrorists that attacked the USS Cole.

I personally think your are stark raving mad. You shoot your mouth off just to hear yourself, that’s about all it could be good for.

Thanks for the info, Missy. It seems we don’t have much control over this decision, but I do hope at the very least all the people involved in the trial will have good security provided.

@ Missy –

Karl Rove is hardly a good source of information for analysis of the US legal system; ducking indictment for lying to prosecutors does not make one a expert on how criminal trial are conducted. State and federal juries try gang members, drug lords, etc., every day. This is, in reality, no different. Add in the fact that al Queda (unlike domestic White supremicists groups) has not been known to threaten or attack judges, I would say that the “security” considerations are, in reality, minimal when compared to other threats that US and state courts deal with on a regular basis.

Nope . . . I know what conservatives REALLY fear. They don’t fear exposure of the Bush torture regime — that’s been done already and Obama has given the pro-torture functionaries a pass. And they don’t fear an Obama loss because of the torture or the lack of evidence. Nope . . . they REALLY fear an Obama win! Especially if it comes during 2012.

@SoCal Chris:

There were a couple of points made yesterday, one by Karl Rove. He said that each and every one of the judges and jurists would need security throughout the trials. I’m thinking, what about their families? What about after the trials, how long will they be offered security?

Another point made, I forget who brought it up, was Holder promised that with information(classified) he’s privy to, he pretty much guaranteed conviction thus tainting the jury pool.

I’m sure, that Holder, and his ACLU attorney have pre-selected the jury, namely most of them will be muslim. I would never put it past them!

Nope. I have been able to locate a gold mine in the Superstition mountains tho. I simply don’t have the funds to mine it.
For a small price, it’s location is yours.

I can say this much, the Arizonans that were paying attention are thrilled napolitano is gone-even if it took a promotion to do it. She was literally the worst thing to happen to this state in a loooong time.

Hard Right, LOL. I’m not surprised about most anything Napolitano would try to push, or Obama. Darn, I guess that means I can’t buy any beachfront property in Arizona!?
