Eric Holder, Barack Obama have shown great disrespect for the dead, 911 families and the citizens of the United States of America. Attorney General Holder Has decided to put the 911 terrorists into a Criminal Trial-FOR AN ACT OF WAR- in federal court.
News flash the 911 terrorists are not Citizens of the United States of America,and and the likes of the 911 attack and death toll were not seen on American soil since the Civil War.
It was bad enough that Barack Obama did not call the massacre at Fort Hood, a terrorist attack. Holder and and Obama’s actions are a disgrace, to the 911(Fort Hood) dead and their families.
From the Wall Street Journal:
“WASHINGTON — U.S. prosecutors plan criminal trials for five men accused of orchestrating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, and military tribunals for five others held at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, self-described mastermind of the attacks, and four others will be tried in New York federal court. Attorney General Eric Holder said Friday he expects to order prosecutors to seek the death penalty in the five cases.”via online.wsj.com

I usually do not do not do political blogs, but our leaders showing disrespect for those killed in national tragedy is unacceptable, and must be mentioned. It almost takes the meaning out of the 911 funeral memorials It means the terrorists funerals will be further delayed. It may New York City in jeopardy(target) with another Terrorist attack. NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE IF THEY DISRESPECT THE DEAD-I will speak out.
Here are some of President Obama’s remarks from townhall.com
President Barack Obama called Walter Cronkite “a voice of certainty in a world that was growing more and more uncertain.”
Speaking at a memorial service for the legendary newsman, Obama acknowledged he hadn’t known Cronkite personally, “but I have benefited as a citizen from his dogged pursuit of the truth.”
“But if we realize that the kind of journalism he embodied will not simply rekindle itself as part of the natural cycle, but will come alive only if we stand up and demand it,” Obama said he was convinced “the golden days of journalism still lie ahead.”
