President Obama orders charges dropped against USS Cole bombing suspect.
It’s that “new era of (ir)responsibility” President Obama promised. Like Mr. Burns’ “release the hounds”, but with terrorists.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The senior military judge overseeing terror trials at Guantanamo Bay is expected to drop charges Friday against a suspect in the 2000 USS Cole bombing.
The legal move by the Hon. Susan J. Crawford would bring all Guantanamo cases into compliance with President Barack Obama’s executive order to halt court proceedings at the Navy detention center in Cuba.
A senior Obama administration official told The Associated Press that the charges against Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri will be dismissed without prejudice. That means new charges can be brought again later.
It also gives the White House time to review the legal cases of all 245 terror suspects held there and decide whether they should be prosecuted in the U.S. or released to other nations.
If we drop the charges against the suspected bomber, but still continue to hold him without charges, doesn’t this fly in the face of what the Left has been screaming about for years, namely Habeas Corpus rights for terrorist detainees? Let’s put these asshats on trial and get it over with!
