THE WAR IS OVER; Regrettably, terror won, we lost

(Date line: Wash. D.C. Nov. 13) Earlier today, Attorney General Holder announced that the four GITMO prisoners of war, being held by the U.S. Army for having master-minded the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center/Pentagon/Pennsylvania farm field plane attacks, will be moved to New York City for criminal trials in federal district court for the southern district of New York (civilian court).

This return to the Clinton era strategy of treating Muslim jihadists as everyday criminals means that whenever a terrorist is apprehended anywhere in the world (not one of these four were arrested inside the United States), he will be given his "miranda rights", most importantly the absolute right to the appointment of and presence of defense counsel BEFORE any questioning of this terrorist can be undertaken by the US government representatives.

Just imagine, the apprehended terrorist know where the ticking time bomb has been secreted with thousands of innocents in imminent jeopardy of a horrible death, but this individual can not be legally interrogated until he/she gets a bail hearing before a civil judge - 48 hours after the bomb's deadly explosion. Utter madness masquerading as protection of civil liberties.

When is this Administration going to start protecting us and not the terrorists who are winning the WAR against western civilization? Criminals are deterred by the risk of arrest and imprisonment, terrorists are never deterred by criminal prosecutions, they want to die to get all those 70 virgins awaiting them in eternal paradise.
