Distgusting, Disgraceful, Pro-Islam Obama Administration "Shelves" USS Cole Bombing Prosecution
Topics: Political News and commentaries
In yet another disgraceful act of the Obama "Department of Social Justice," the Washington Post reports that the feds are "shelving" prosecution of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged coordinator of the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole - for what is apparently nothing more than putting politics in front of justice:
The Obama administration has shelved the planned prosecution of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged coordinator of the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, according to a court filing. The decision at least temporarily scuttles what was supposed to be the signature trial of a major al-Qaeda figure under a reformed system of military commissions.:Michelle Malkin has a list of the lives taken in the Cole bombing - all whose families deserve and demand justice.Military officials said a team of prosecutors in the Nashiri case has been ready go to trial for some time. And several months ago, military officials seemed confident that Nashiri would be arraigned this summer.
"It's politics at this point," said one military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss policy. He said he thinks the administration does not want to proceed against a high-value detainee without some prospect of civilian trials for other major figures at Guantanamo Bay.
A White House official disputed that.
