Sarah Palin: Criminal trial in NY for terrorist is a horrible decision

Sarah Palin, in an opinion piece on her Facebook Notes page today, blasted the Obama administration's plan to give 9/11 terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a criminal trial in New York. The 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate called the decision "horrible" and "devastating":
Obama Administration's Atrocious Decision

Horrible decision, absolutely horrible. It is devastating for so many of us to hear that the Obama Administration decided that the 9/11 terrorist mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be given a criminal trial in New York. This is an atrocious decision.

Mohammed and his terrorist co-conspirators are responsible for the deaths of more than 3,000 Americans. Thousands of American families have suffered through the loss of loved ones because of the disgusting attacks launched against the United States, and now this trial venue adds insult to injury, in addition to compromising our efforts in the War on Terror. Heaven forbid our allies see this decision as a reason to become less likely to support our efforts in the future.

Criminal defense attorneys will now enter into delaying tactics and other methods in the hope of securing some kind of win for their “clients.” The trial will afford Mohammed the opportunity to grandstand and make use of his time in front of the world media to rally his disgusting terrorist cohorts. It will also be an insult to the victims of 9/11, as Mohammed will no doubt use the opportunity to spew his hateful rhetoric in the same neighborhood in which he ruthlessly cut down the lives of so many Americans.

It is crucially important that Americans be made aware that the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks may walk away from this trial without receiving just punishment because of a “hung jury” or from any variety of court room technicalities. If we are stuck with this terrible Obama Administration decision, I like most Americans, hope that Mohammed and his co-conspirators are convicted. Hang ‘em high.

I wholeheartedly support the survivors and the families of the victims in their appeal to the president regarding this matter. You can read more about it here.

  1. If Sarah beats Obama in 50 states in 2012, pundits will see this day as a major factor.

  2. Sarah I am very proud of you for having the courage to stand up the those who decided to bring the terrorist to New York for their trial. They, the terrorist, got what they wanted a show trial. It will only make us look bad and they get to play the victim. We are at war not engaged in some investigation into a mass killer incident.

  3. I said this before. Sarah Palin is setting herself up in the position of being the anti Obama. She has come down on the opposite side of Obama on mostly every issue to date. As independents flee Obama, will they notice that Palin is singing their tune?
