WASHINGTON — For late-19th-century anarchists, terrorism was the “propaganda of the deed.” And the most successful propaganda-by-deed in history was 9/11 — not just the most destructive, but the most spectacular and telegenic.
And now its self-proclaimed architect, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, has been given by the Obama administration a civilian trial in New York. Just as the memory fades, 9/11 has been granted a second life — and KSM, a second act: “9/11, The Director’s Cut,” narration by KSM.
September 11, 2001 had to speak for itself. A decade later, the deed will be given voice. KSM has gratuitously been presented with the greatest propaganda platform imaginable — a civilian trial in the media capital of the world — from which to proclaim the glory of jihad and the criminality of infidel America.( thats you and me and our families)
Charles Krauthammer on Khalid Sheik Mohammed,who has been given by the Obama administration a civilian trial in New York.
So why is Attorney General Eric Holder doing this? Ostensibly, to demonstrate to the world the superiority of our system where the rule of law and the fair trial reign.
Really? What happens if KSM (and his co-defendants) “do not get convicted,” asked Senate Judiciary Committee member Herb Kohl. “Failure is not an option,” replied Holder. Not an option? Doesn’t the presumption of innocence, er, presume that prosecutorial failure — acquittal, hung jury — is an option? By undermining that presumption, Holder is undermining the fairness of the trial, the demonstration of which is the alleged rationale for putting on this show in the first place
What happened to Never Forget? What happened to 9/12??? I Under stand the Obama Administration the Hate America… Our Chickens have come home to Roost… Not god bless americs… NO NO NO but God Damn America …. But hey, DO YOU HATE AMERICA? i sure dont … i DO Hate our Haters though… too bad the run the Country now…

Thank-you Charles. I have not forgotten but watching that video brought a welling of emotions I have not felt since that day. You are right of course the haters are incharge. I have watched over the last few months as the tenor of your remarks have become pointed and more direct. I am a man of civility as are you but I can no longer obviscate my dissatisfaction, anger, and fear with the carefully selected words of balance and outreach. I and millions of americans, are watching our government ignore the governed wasting our blood, our treasure and our sacred honor. Instead it follows the worst of elitist tendencies prescribing to us ignorence and prescribing for us tyrany. The left have relabled themselves progressives. Is it time to relable them as facists?
This was so sad. =(
