Menendez said that as far as he was concerned, the al Qaeda leader should be prosecuted and convicted in court. (Hear Audio)

According to the Supreme Court in Miranda v Arizona, all civilian criminal defendants, now including terrorists, have the right to:
– Remain silent during interrogation
– Consult with an attorney during interrogation
– Have an attorney appointed at government expense
– Have an attorney present during interrogation
– Stop answering questions at any time during interrogation
Well, that’s just duckie…

Bringing Gitmo Terrorists to U.S. Is Democrats’ Job Program, Franks Says
“I will say this,” Franks continued, “It was pretty profound. One nexus here is that Senator Durbin - a liberal senator - has said that they want to bring the Gitmo detainees into Illinois to house them there for these trials in America rather than the military tribunals that they should face. But he said it’s partly for jobs.
“So now at least the Democrats have come up with a jobs program,” said Franks, speaking at a press conference on Nov. 17 about the downside of a big federal government.
Always looking out for the little guy…

Afghanistan announcement expected next week
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama held a “rigorous final meeting” with his Afghanistan war council and is expected to announce his revised strategy for the eight-year-old conflict just after his Thanksgiving break.
<…>
Congressional hearings would immediately follow that address, including testimony from the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal. Others likely to take part in hearings would be Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry. All four were among the approximately 20 top administration officials and Obama advisers participating in the talks Monday night — one of the biggest groups gathered for these sessions in some time.
Doesn’t sound like many of these 20 top admin officials have read Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
In war, then, let your great object be victory,
not lengthy campaigns.
~~~~~~
Hence, though an obstinate fight may be made
by a small force, in the end it must be captured
by the larger force.
~~~~~~
Thus we may know that there are five essentials
for victory:
(1) He will win who knows when to fight and when
not to fight.
(2) He will win who knows how to handle both superior
and inferior forces.
(3) He will win whose army is animated by the same
spirit throughout all its ranks.
(4) He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take
the enemy unprepared.
(5) He will win who has military capacity and is
not interfered with by the sovereign.
Please pray for our troops…
