Title: Schumer, 2001: 9/11 terrorists won’t get courtroom trials

There are also those prisoners of war who we have captured and will capture in Afghanistan and other countries who will receive a trial of some sort. It is clear we need to try those suspects in a forum that achieves two primary goals—two goals, I might add, that may not conflict. First, the Government must have the power to use even the most sensitive classified evidence against these suspects without compromising national security in any way, shape, or form. In addition, those who commit acts of war against the United States, particularly those who have no color of citizenship, don’t deserve the same panoply of due process rights that American citizens receive. Should Osama bin Laden be captured alive—and I imagine most Americans hope he won’t be captured alive. But if he is, it is ludicrous to suggest he should be tried in a Federal court on Center Street in Lower Manhattan.

Obama was 100% for military tribunals first too:

*Rush was talking today about how Holder does not even have the authority to make the decision to bring these guys to civilian court -- No one does except Obama. But Holder has taken 100% responsibility for making the decision to give Obama deniability...... So, did Holder purger himself infront of Congress the other day?

That would be prior to Holder's announcement.

Who is BHO's lapdog, and wouldn;t dare to anything like this without the Anointed One's approval...
