Funny how so many of these top brass AQ members are from our "allay" SAUDI ARABIA.

Yes another Saudi - If you put 1000 in a room , you would need to travel to another building to locate someone who you could Trust- these people are Experts at Lying .

Yet another muslim who wants to kill in the name of islam. But I am always told that islam is a peaceful ideology. What gives??

And the talking heads of the Republican party will be seen swooning, spinning around like the exorcist movie, and yelling fear fear fear from the rooftops, with promises of Armageddon, at the possibility of the accused terrorist having representation in New York, instead of a military kangaroo court!

Since when should Americans be afraid of a justice system that convicts the majority of convicts from minorities and has never failed to convict a terrorist yet? If anything, Americans should be applauding the fact that at least one person will be getting a fair trial, while all of our minorities get the shaft!

If there is any doubt of a conviction being obtained, then why do you live here? If you are trolling for the rich elitists who can buy their way out of jail with infinite funding, then why aren't you up in arms about the U.S. Justice system bringing charges of treason against George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld, for purposefully lying us into a war, killing thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians over the false premise of weapons of mass destruction we all know there was no proof of existence? That was treason!

Outing a CIA operative is treason! And furthermore, we should be really pissed that these same Republican leaders failed to pre-fund the Veterans administration when the wounded came streaming in! Sick f***s!

And now these same sickos try to re-write history and tell us the goal was to free the Iraqi civilians! Pardon me while I puke! The lack of planning left Iraq more aligned with Iran than it was before we invaded! Nothing wrong there, eh? Should we blame that on Obama, too?

Do you see why Americans don't trust the words that spew from Republican leaders? Should we be surprised that George Bush gives seminars in the Caymans on how to shelter profits in the Islands to keep from paying the U.S. taxes that could help America? He did that one week prior to the Romney/Obama election! Now you may leave the room with your tails between your legs, you dogs! Nothing but handmaidens to the rich!

Blaming the poor for the lack of jobs that today, Republicans unanimously blocked an infrastructure bill again, that could have put a million back to work! There is no excuse for Republicans! Debauchery is the only term that is applicable to them! And still not one loophole they are willing to mention they would be willing to close to help our economy pay for the trillions in war debt they left behind!

What ?!?!?!!??! He was tried and we didn't get attacked? OMG! GOPhers check it out!

Saudi Arabia has lots of oil.. Maybe since they are such azz-wipes we should attack them.... Opps!...I forgot that the Bushes are in love with them.... Oh!... I mean in bed with them.

So this guy came from the country where ALL the 911 Terrorists came from. SAUDIA ARABIA. Thats Why George Bush ordered that Iraq be attacked because the terrorists came from saudia arabia and he wanted to take the heat off of them. Good thinking George. Of course it cost us Billons upon Billions of dollars and thousands of our soldiers lives wasted but who cares, right George Bush. Mission Accomplished. Daddy Bush must be so proud of you.

This slimeball should be in Guantanamo Bay with all the other human feces. Holder and Obama brought him to the U.S. for political reasons and political reasons only. If something bad happens in New York, as a result of this, it will be on Obama and Holders heads. Idiots!

Much thanks to the Obama Administration for capturing these terroist thugs and bringing them to justice. It's a dispictable shame that Bush and Chaney wasted 8 years with no avail. They were trying to do a man's job with a child's mine. Hats off to you Mr Commander-n-Chief. Wish there was a Constitutional Ammendment for us to keep you a third term.

Finally....charged! Now, throw the shoes......book at him!

Arabs, Christians and Jews do NOT mix. Oh, but these guys, the muslems are NOT our enemies,.....so what in the hell do our enemies do?................Kill 'em.

Never trust a Muslim car salesman. Oh wait non of them. Screw the Saudia's, and drill here. Oh wait one more time, it just might put a few people back to work, and off of welfare. As long as they are not Illegals.

No Dave D they fought so the 1% can make money. The war was a lie!!!!!!

How dare you desecrate a "holy" moosshlam? I will now put a 7th century Fatwa on you and now every mooslem under the age of 16 will blow you up! Wait, they already do that anyway in their enlightened "madrassas"...Instead, I will throw Acid in your face, marry your 8 yr old sister, ban music, dancing, "western education" and put your women in a Burka! We don't care about reasoning, truth, education and the 21st century! We want it to be the 7th century again so our pediphile leader will destroy anything he see's and we can yell Alaha Akbar while killing anyone who is an Infidel!!! O yes, Islam is the way-submit to the world's most disgusting cult around and kill because that's the way it says to do in the Koran....

And just why was he taken to civil court in NYC? He should be in Gitmo for a military tribunal. Tried convicted and killed by a drone if it doesn't crash. Just to try the presidents next move. He's been very cooperative since being brought to the US. Wow what a surprise he may spend a couple of years in (prison) daycamp, with 3 sq meals, cable tv, which our government will be more then happy to spend. And released back into the wild. Our government sucks.

Obama has refurbished Guantanamo detention once, now they are doing it once more.

These ass holes should have been sent there.

WHY are we bringing them to the mainland?

Why don't we adopt the way's of trials from the country were the accused are from? Like Stone throwing the D*CKHEAD to death. Or Cutting off his hands? Then fly him back home and throw his ass out of the plane at 30,000 feet off the deck.

He was sent to the city despite objection from some congressional Republicans who believe terrorists should be held in military custody at Guantanamo Bay.

i think why ''''of the double standard "", if you dont remember , will thats all i will say , its up to them , , but i agree they should not be tried here,

and you would see in time why , and it was before done to us citizen a long time ago,

i cant member who but i do kind of remember some thing on this long time ago,

i think they even made a movie on it ,

i might be wrong just cant member right now,

Some useful reminders about some of the truths of the Iraq War by Naval War College professor of national security affairs Stephen Knott, that seem to have been forgotten by a majority of the people posting here : http:// online.wsj.com/article/...

"At 5:34 a.m. on March 20, 2003, American, British and other allied
forces invaded Iraq. One of the most divisive conflicts in the nation’s
history would soon be labeled “Bush’s War.”

The overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s regime became official U.S. policy
in 1998, when President Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act—a bill
passed 360-38 by the House of Representatives and by unanimous consent
in the Senate. The law called for training and equipping Iraqi
dissidents to overthrow Saddam and suggested that the United Nations
establish a war-crimes tribunal for the dictator and his lieutenants.

The legislation was partly the result of frustration over the
undeclared and relatively unheralded “No-Fly Zone War” that had been
waged since 1991. Saddam’s military repeatedly fired on U.S. and allied
aircraft that were attempting to prevent his regime from destroying
Iraqi opposition forces in northern and southern Iraq.

According to former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Hugh Shelton, in
1997 a key member of President Bill Clinton’s cabinet (thought by most
observers to have been Secretary of State Madeleine Albright) asked Gen.
Shelton whether he could arrange for a U.S. aircraft to fly slowly and
low enough that it would be shot down, thereby paving the way for an
American effort to topple Saddam. Kenneth Pollack, a member of Mr.
Clinton’s National Security Council staff, would later write in 2002
that it was a question of “not whether but when” the U.S. would invade
Iraq. He wrote that the threat presented by Saddam was “no less pressing
than those we faced in 1941.”

Radicalized by the events of 9/11, George W. Bush gradually concluded
that a regime that had used chemical weapons against its own people and
poison gas against Iran, invaded Iran and Kuwait, harbored some of the
world’s most notorious terrorists, made lucrative payments to the
families of suicide bombers, fired on American aircraft almost daily,
and defied years of U.N. resolutions regarding weapons of mass
destruction was a problem. The former chief U.N. weapons inspector, an
Australian named Richard Butler, testified in July 2002 that “it is
essential to recognize that the claim made by Saddam’s representatives,
that Iraq has no WMD, is false.”

In the U.S., there was a bipartisan consensus
that Saddam possessed and continued to develop WMD. Former Vice
President Al Gore noted in September 2002 that Saddam had “stored secret
supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”
Then-Sen. Hillary Clinton observed that Saddam hoped to increase his
supply of chemical and biological weapons and to “develop nuclear
weapons.” Then-Sen. John Kerry claimed that “a deadly arsenal of weapons
of mass destruction in his [Saddam's] hands is a real and grave threat
to our security.”

Even those opposed to using force against Iraq
acknowledged that, as then-Sen. Edward Kennedy put it, “we have known
for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing” WMD. When
it came time to vote on the authorization for the use of force against
Iraq, 81 Democrats in the House voted yes, joined by 29 Democrats in the
Senate, including the party’s 2004 standard bearers, John Kerry and
John Edwards, plus Majority Leader Tom Daschle, Sen. Joe Biden, Mrs.
Clinton, and Sens. Harry Reid, Tom Harkin, Chris Dodd and Jay
Rockefeller. The latter, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
claimed that Saddam would “likely have nuclear weapons within the next
five years.”

Support for the war extended far beyond Capitol
Hill. In March 2003, a Pew Research Center poll indicated that 72% of
the American public supported President Bush’s decision to use force.

If Mr. Bush “lied,” as the common accusation
has it, then so did many prominent Democrats—and so did the French,
whose foreign minister, Dominique de Villepin, claimed in February 2003
that “regarding the chemical domain, we have evidence of [Iraq's]
capacity to produce VX and yperite [mustard gas]; in the biological
domain, the evidence suggests the possible possession of significant
stocks of anthrax and botulism toxin.” Germany’s intelligence chief
August Hanning noted in March 2002 that “it is our estimate that Iraq
will have an atomic bomb in three years.”

According to interrogations conducted after the
invasion, Saddam’s own generals believed that he had WMD and expected
him to use these weapons as the invasion force neared Baghdad.

The war in Iraq was authorized by a bipartisan
congressional coalition, supported by prominent media voices and backed
by the public. Yet on its 10th anniversary Americans will be told of the
Bush administration’s duplicity in leading us into the conflict. Many
members of the bipartisan coalition that committed the U.S. to invade
Iraq 10 years ago have long since washed their hands of their share of
responsibility.

We owe it to history—and, more important, to all those who died—to recognize that this wasn’t Bush’s war, it was America’s war."

Well Juan..America is not as Savage as these people and the countries they come from..but if we where to employ your ideas, maybe they would think twice about screwing with us. Hell Juan I say your right...you got my vote.

Wow, just WOW! The lap dogs are going crazy, they are actually going to try a terrorist in NYC. They don't know why that shouldn't happen, just that their masters have told them to complain. That's what happens when you have a bunch of low informed base poodles running around.

Get a clue, it's cheaper to try them in federal court. And you are the ones complaining about the money being spent. Which one do you want, you can't have both. Less spending, or Gitmo? If it's less spending, then you lap dogs quit complaining about the trillions being spent. Leave that to the adults to complain, not the little poodles.

"but federal officials say he has been in the U.S. since last fall and has been cooperating with investigators". So this means when the trial is over he will what, get a slap on the wrist and his own taxi to drive around in NYC?

Hmmmm, I see al-Queda still hasn't attacked us yet! All that fear mongering form the right, just the usual crap. Rep. King, suck it.....
