09/11 Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Desires Martyrdom

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba (CNN) — Two al Qaeda figures accused in the September 11 attacks told a U.S. military judge Thursday that they want to die as martyrs.

“If I’m killed, I will be killed for the sake of God,” said Ramzi bin al-Shibh, who is accused of helping coordinate the attacks. “I’ve been seeking to be a martyr for years.”

Thursday’s appearance by al-Shibh and four co-defendants, including the plot’s alleged mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, was their first before a military commission set up to try the accused terrorists.

None of the defendants entered pleas at at the arraignment, which was held at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

All five also rejected representation by the team of lawyers assigned to defend them, saying they recognized only Islamic law.

Mohammed also said he wanted to be martyred.

The judge, Marine Col. Ralph Kohlmann, asked Mohammed numerous times whether he understood that he faces the death penalty.”

So, why are we wasting time with a trial? Shoot them now and get it over with. I’ll volunteer to be on the firing squad just so long as there is a guarantee that I won’t get the blank round.

As Andy McCarthy said, to paraphrase, leftards want us to negotiate with terrorists and give them what they want, so why not?

Vindication For Marine Charged in Haditha Cover-up…Content of Character…NONE

Early in the investigations, based upon unknown evidence, Democratic Rep. John Murtha (PA) stated that “there was no firefight, there was no IED that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood.”

Barack Obama, asked about Murtha’s charge by Alan Colmes in June of 2006, stated, “I would never second guess John Murtha… I think he’s somebody who knows of which he speaks.”

Obama Scoots to the Center at AIPAC…NO CONTENT OF CHARACTER

The newly-minted presumptive Democratic nominee faced the audience of the powerful pro-Israel lobby Wednesday, and adjusted his stance on some key issues — like Iran. A sign of shifts to come?

His mission: reaching out to American Jews, many of whom have expressed concern over his choice of Middle East advisors, his relationship with Reverend Jeremiah Wright (who called Israel a “dirty” word), his past relationships with Palestinian activists and his position on meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmajinedad.
