Can someone explain to me how 5 suspected members of Al Qaeda (although there is no question regarding KSM) suddenly got their own PR machine from inside Gitmo and at the hands of a military judge, not to mention getting a world stage through which to frighten Americans some more?
Now stay with me here. 5 alleged Al Qaeda members issue a statement of guilt, an incendiary statement rejoicing at the lost American lives of those attacks 7 years back, through a filing with the court. This filing is accepted by the court despite some of the attorneys not being made aware that this was going to be filed or what was going to be declared on behalf of their clients. Moreover, defying President Obama's ruling putting a halt on all Gitmo military commissions, the judge on the case not only accepted this filing, but also released it to the public.
Does anyone else find this just all a bit too well timed, not to mention idiotic? Seriously, what purpose could this serve in helping the American cause or in keeping the nation safe?
-How did these 5 men discuss and approve this statement if some of them and their attorneys were not even aware of it?
-Why did the court happen to accept this filing given the above issue?
-Why did the court decide to release this to the public, despite years of secrecy on everything else, including denying access to something as basic as current photographs of the accused?
-Why is this being released now?
-How does it benefit anyone to release this this to the public? (it only benefits one group of people)
Yes, that's right, the military and its defense contractors - that terribly incestuous pool of corruption - are playing scare the foolish American people again, in public, and for the world to see in order to frighten us to bend to their will.
