GITMO DETAINEE GOES TO WASHINGTON

Today news reports indicate that the Obama administration is considering a criminal trial in Washington for a Guantanamo Bay detainee suspected of bombing a Bali nightclub that killed 202 people. This would bring one of the most notorious terrorists to U.S. soil and would allow him the opportunity to be tried steps away from our nation’s Capitol. This man committed a crime outside of the United States, yet President Obama thinks it would be in our best interest to bring him to epicenter of our country and government.

I do not believe terrorists who kill innocent people should be housed on U.S. soil and granted the same rights as American citizens. President Obama and House Democrats support the idea of bringing terrorists onto U.S. soil as a way to honor the Constitution. Affording terrorists constitutional protections does just the opposite – it weakens our judicial system and undermines our Constitution.
