Planning February 6th Protests Against KSM's Civilian Trial in NYC

The KSM civilian trial is going to be a "show trial" that enables KSM, the mastermind of 9/11 and the four other terrorists responsible for planning 9/11 to rile up and encourage and round up the other terrorists all over the globe. This will also give them a platform to spew their hatred for America, The Bush administration, and our brave men and women in the military. This will make America and especially New York City a huge target for another terrorist attack. Eric Holder and his comrades are giving KSM his wish to be tried in NYC and to be given a lawyer. So, for some reason our Attorney General is accommodating a terrorist and appeasing him by granting his very wishes. Some people think that us doing nothing to stop terrorism will bring peace. These people are very misguided because terrorists do not stop their actions just because we are lax in our security and stop fighting terrorism across the globe. Terrorists look for our weaknesses so that they can attack the West at every chance they can get. Terrorists want to destroy the West and not live peacefully with us. These terrorists do not want to coexist with us, they want to conquer the whole world in honor of Allah and kill us. The attack on 9/11 was an Act of War and nothing less. KSM and the other terrorists must be treated as our enemy, and not as mere civilians who just committed a crime. Eric Holder and Obama's decision to try our enemy in a civilian court room is unconscionable. Obama and Holder are giving the terrorists more rights than are required by International Law. Why in the heck would our government give more rights to terrorists during wartime? It just doesn't make sense.

Since hearing the news from Eric Holder God has inspired me and I have felt called to do something in response to this agriegous act being perpetraited by our own government. I came up with the idea to have a day of protests in both New York City and in the Pittsburgh/Shanksville area. The protests will take place on February 6, 2010. Michael Johns, the National Tea Party Leader and a friend from twitter, and Greg a friend from the group PCRG which I joined earlier this year is helping out with the planning this event. I would love it if you would attend one of the protests. The plan is for the protest in New York City to start at 11:00am and the one in Pittsburgh will start at 3:00pm. Michael Johns has most generously agreed to speak at both protests. Pamela Geller from Atlas Shrugs has been most gracious and agreed to be a speaker in NYC. I have emailed Glenn Beck and will email Sean Hannity today. I have started a facebook group also. I hate asking for donations but being a college student of financially limited means, we are looking for donations in order to pay for the protest fees and sound systems. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. And, if you have any ideas on how to promote this great cause I appreciate any and all ideas.

There is no good reason for the decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a New York City civil court room. Everything was in place to have these terrorists tried in front of a military commission. At no time in history have our military been required to give our enemy miranda rights which are required for a defendent who has a civilian trial in America. So, are all their admissions of guilt going to be thrown our because of not being mirandized? Is this what Eric Holder and Obama want? I don't know. If they truly loved this country and cared about the American people's safety Holder and Obama would have let the military commission proceed with their trials against these terrorists- our ENEMY. Eric Holder and President Obama are extending rights to KSM and the other terrorists as if they were civilians living in the U.S., or U.S. citizens, when they were actually captured on a foreign battlefield. I will say this again: This is unconscionable!!

Here is both the definition of an unlawful enemy combatant and the explanation of the jurisdiction of military commission as outlined by the Military Commissions Act of 2006. With these provisions in place to try terrorists in front of military commissions there is absolutely no good reason why KSM and the four other terrorists are being tried in a New York City civilan court room.
