Congress may withhold funds for trying Khalid Sheik Mohammed in a criminal court
Here is a little bit of good news on the Khalid Sheik Mohammed front; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has stated that he believes congress,in a bipartisan effort, will deny any funding to try the mastermind of the September 11th attack in a criminal court.
Mitch McConnell claims that any support Barack Obama once had for trying Mohammed as a common criminal instead of the terrorist that he is, is collapsing all around the president.
The administration has backtracked under pressure from the original plan of trying Mohammed in New York, and while they are still making an effort to find a suitable location to try him, this news deals a further blow to the administration’s plan.
I can only hope that Mitch McConnell is right when he states that Democrats and Republicans alike are ready to withhold funding for this man’s trial in a criminal court of law. This man planned an act of war against the United States and he should be tried in a military commission and hanged once he is found guilty.
Evidentially there is public support behind trying this man in a military commission, otherwise there is no way that McConnell could be this confident that Democrats would go along with denying funds to try this man in a criminal court.
Khalid Sheik Mohammed does not deserve the rights that are granted to United States citizens under the constitution; the same constitution that he was fighting against. Yet the Obama administration has granted him these very rights. But support for this ridiculous idea is waning and we may just see Mohammed tried in a military commission before all of this is said and done.
Barack Obama may not like it, but congress may just force him to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed as the enemy combatant that he is.













I can’t believe there ever was any public support to try this terrorist on American soil, especially New York!

I think you are right, there couldn’t ever have been much support for this other than in the far left circles.

I have to agree with Dominique… No one in there right mind would want him tried in a civilian court either… Right mind, that explains WHY Obama wants him tried in CIVILIAN court…

I hope Mitch is correct. I doubt there was ever much support for holding the trial in a criminal court. The only support for that came from the left and probably never exceeded 35%. I don’t know what Eric and Barry will decide to to, and it may not even be in their hands any longer.

Yeah, other than the far left there couldn’t have been much support for this. Obama need to learn that he can no longer just play to his far left base anymore.

If they have to deny funds one terrorist at a time, then so be it.
Man that’s a disgusting picture.
