Obama Failed With Civilian Trials of Gitmo Detainees

Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder are the big losers with the trial of Ahmed Ghailani in New York. Instead of trying Ghailani in a military tribunal as the war criminal he is, Obama had to extend constitutional rights to a foreign terrorist. Despite confessing to murdering hundreds of people, key testimony and evidence was withheld at the trial because Ghailani was interrogated by intelligence agents.

HotAir’s Ed Morrisey says its time for Eric Holder to resign. I agree. He says here:

Holder should hand in his resignation before he makes the same mistake with the other terrorists our military and intelligence assets risked their lives to keep off the battlefield forever. His continued presence insults their work, insults Congress, and insults our desire for justice for 9/11, the USS Cole bombing, the two embassy bombings, and the other terrorist attacks and plots we’ve managed to stop through a forward strategy on the war on terror. If a resignation is not forthcoming, the Senate and House Judiciary committees should start hearings to determine why Holder remains in this position.

Liberals love it when the guilty go free and unpunished. Watch as they celebrate a slap on the wrist for a known terrorist.
