Another message of hope for the terrorists.
The Pentagon’s plans for death-penalty prosecutions of six men accused of plotting the 2001 terrorist attacks were criticized by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who said capital punishment is appropriate for such crimes but that military tribunals are the wrong forum for the case.
The Defense Department announced murder, terrorism and conspiracy charges Monday against alleged attack mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and five other inmates of the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It gave the leading presidential candidates a chance to show how they would balance anti-terrorism zeal and civil liberties concerns in a heated political climate.
We’ve seen in the past that public trials of terrorists expose our tactics in capturing terrorists, thus making it harder to fight terror.
So, please, Mr. Obama, please explain why you want to make it harder to fight terror.
