WTF is right! (none / 0) (#4)
by Fritz on Mon Jun 11, 2007 at 02:46:03 PM EST
What was this judge thinking?  This guy was sent by KSM to the United States to operate an AQ cell to commit acts of terrorism, so I guess this ruling could have applied to Mohammed Atta too had he been captured before 9/11.

[T]he President is authorized to use all necessary and
appropriate force against those nations, organizations,
or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed,
or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September
11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in
order to prevent any future acts of international
terrorism against the United States by such nations,
organizations or persons.

Because all brown people are latent terrorists. They all want to kill white Americans like Fritz.

That's a smear. You have no proof that Fritz believes such.

Rove never needed proof for his smear machine, why should I.

Don't you find it embarrassing that you simply read the biased headlines and didn't read the text of the decision?  This guy is an AQ operative, just like the 19 highjackers.  The dates indicate he was probably outed by KSM himself.  As Tenet said himself, torturing KSM probably did provide more actionable intelligence than all the intelligence apparatus in place.

See, real Americans believe in trials and don't believe in torture.

from the opinion:

The Government defends this detention, asserting that al-Marri associated with al Qaeda and "prepar[ed] for acts of international terrorism."
[...]
Even assuming the truth of the Government's allegations, the President
lacks power to order the military to seize and indefinitely detain
al-Marri.
