Ralph Peters: Terrorists Should Be Killed On The Spot
I’m glad to see someone finally make the point in a major newspaper that I’ve been making on this blog for a long time. That we could eliminate the issues surrounding Gitmo if the terrorists were just executed on the battlefield after their interrogations.
Col. Ralph Peters writes in the NY Post today:
WE made one great mistake regarding Guantanamo: No terrorist should have made it that far. All but a handful of those grotesquely romanticized prisoners should have been killed on the battlefield.
The few kept alive for their intelligence value should have been interrogated secretly, then executed.
Terrorists don’t have legal rights or human rights. By committing or abetting acts of terror against the innocent, they place themselves outside of humanity’s borders. They must be hunted as man-killing animals.
Everyone should read the column in its entirety — it’s the best one of 2009.
Contrary to the ACLU narrative about America, we’re actually too nice and too humane when it comes to waging war.
I believe we should do everything in our power to avoid killing civilians, but when it comes to terrorists I believe we should have little mercy.
The CIA was on the right track with the secret black sites for interrogation in addition to Gitmo.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible for anyone to keep their damn mouths shut about any secret program. You simply cannot have a secret that won’t eventually end up on the front page of the NY Slimes Times.
For this reason, the strategy should be to imbed interrogators with special forces units.
When a high value terrorist is captured, he should be made to talk on the spot by any means necessary. After every last tidbit of information has been extracted he should be executed on the spot.
Then we have the information we need and without liberals howling about so-called “rights” for terrorists.

Pentagon Says 1 In 7 Gitmo Detainees Returned To Terrorism
Obama’s purely political plan to close down Gitmo looks like it’s about to get harder. The fact is Gitmo was a good idea under Bush and it continues to be a good idea today.
Obama only wants to close it because he’s a left-wing kook.
New Detainee Abuse Pictures Surface
New detainee abuse pictures have strangely surfaced even as president Obama moved to block publication of the photos.
I’m not posting them, but you can follow the link if you have to see them.

Terrorist Lakdar Boumediene Released From Gitmo
The U.S. has released terrorist Lakdar Boumediene from Gitmo and sent him to France to allegedly live with relatives.
I guess I’m glad France agreed to take a Gitmo terrorist, but I can’t think of anything France needs less than another Muslim.
Boumediene is the terrorist who successfully challenged his detention in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Video: Awesome New GOP Ad Questions Gitmo Closing
Take a look at this kick ass new ad from the GOP:
Nicely done.
Democrats Refuse To Fund Gitmo Closure
This from the AP:
House Democrats are refusing to pay for President Barack Obama’s plan to relocate prisoners from the Guantanamo detention facility where enemy combatants are being held.
Obama has signed an executive order to close the facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by early next year. But the Pentagon has yet to come up with a plan on where to put the 240 or so prisoners. Between 50-100 are likely to be sent to the United States.
This is of course, because the desire to close Gitmo on the part of democrats was primarily about opposing and smearing Bush — not about real opposition to Gitmo.
Even when Gitmo does close, many of the detainees will be moved to another facility that will be exactly like Gitmo just with a new name.
In fact, they should keep Gitmo open but just rename it. How about “Detainment facility for persons involved in man-caused disasters.”
Former Gitmo Detainee Resurfaces As Leader Of Al Qaeda In Yemen
It’s ironic that less than 24 hours after president Obama signed the absurd executive order to close Gitmo within a year, we learn about yet another terrorist returning to the fight. Said Ali al-Shihri was released from Gitmo back to Saudi Arabia 10-months ago and now he’s in Yemen serving as the No.2 man in the Yemeni branch of Al-Qaeda.
Al-Shihri supposedly completed a Jihad rehabilitation program in Saudi Arabia (I kid you not) and then was released. Basically, the Saudi’s put him through a program that tells him everything that has been drilled into his head since birth about Islam and infidels is all wrong and he shouldn’t believe it anymore. Problem solved! Yeah right.
Like all liberals, Obama is naive as hell when it comes to the war on terror. Gitmo is the perfect place to house these animals and should in fact be expanded rather than closed. In the end, he’s just going to have another Gitmo setup on U.S. soil and call it something else. Closing the facility in Cuba is purely symbolic and makes liberals feel good inside even though it doesn’t actually solve anything.
The idea that we should base our foreign policy in any way on what other countries think of us or restoring our supposedly damaged image is not only stupid — it’s dangerous. All the countries who bitch about Gitmo have suffered horrific terror attacks since 9/11 while Bush’s aggressive policies have kept us safe.
Obama should remember the old phrase “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.”
Familes Of 9/11 Victims: Keep Guantánamo Open
The Pentagon finally got some much needed backup today in their seven year battle against far-left human rights cowards desperate to close Guantanamo Bay.
Families of 9/11 victims spoke out passionately today after being invited to witness the military tribunal of a terrorist. Ever since 9/11, the ACLU and other left-wing organizations have conducted a despicable smear campaign against the Bush administration over Gitmo, enhanced interrogation, and the war on terror in general.
Family members of those killed on 9/11 however, aren’t buying into the hype.
“Guantánamo Bay has gotten a bad rap,” said Alice Hoagland, whose son was killed in the 2001 attack.
Hamilton Peterson, whose father was killed that day, said the procedures of the much-criticized military commission tribunal seemed plenty fair. “The entire day,” he said, “was giving these defendants their due.”
The very notion that we should extend the same rights to foreign terrorists captured overseas that American citizens enjoy is more than absurd — it’s dangerous.
All this crap about restoring America’s standing in the world or keeping the moral high ground is a bunch of theoretical nonsense. Sadly, this was demonstrated once again in Mumbai, when a highly trained terrorist group went on a bloody rampage that left 179 people dead.
The reason we haven’t been attacked since 9/11 is not just blind luck. The Bush administration correctly recognized that this is not like any war we’ve ever been involved in. We face an enemy that doesn’t know the first thing about human rights or the Geneva Conventions. The terrorists we face don’t recognize even the most basic rules of war.
There’s no such thing as POW’s or prisoner exchanges. In the War on Terror, if a U.S. soldier is captured by the enemy he’s a dead man pure and simple. The free world has never faced a more unscrupulous and savage enemy as the one we face today.
But human rights organizations and left-wing lawyers can’t seem to get it through their thick skull’s what a serious situation this is. They want the U.S. to fight this war with our hands tied behind our back. The far left has done everything possible to damage the U.S. and hurt the war effort.
The only thing that should matter is getting the information out of the people who have it — by any means necessary.
The cowards on the left who continue to crow about human rights don’t give a damn about keeping this country safe. In their eyes it’s America that is the bad guy and the terrorists freedom fighters are just defending themselves.
People who believe that are idiots and deserve to be marginalized. If you care more about the treatment of the terrorists than you do about saving the lives of your fellow countrymen then you’re a bad American.

Rasmussen Poll: 49% Want To Keep Gitmo Open
A new Rasmussen poll out today finds that 49% of Americans are in favor of keeping Gitmo open, while only 32% want it closed. Barack Obama has of course vowed to close it — as any good liberal would.
Not only should we keep it open, but we should build a second one somewhere else. Gitmo should be a place that terrorists around the world fear being sent to. Gitmo should be a deterrent to those considering Jihad as a serious career.
We tried the whole law enforcement thing during the Clinton years and we know where that led us. The time for worrying about the “moral high ground” has long sense past. Unfortunately, it’s probably going to take a few thousand more dead Americans before the other half of the country starts to take our national security seriously.

Bin Laden’s Driver Pleads Not Guilty
Osama bin Laden’s driver, Salim Hamdam, pled not guilty today at the opening of his war crimes trial before a military tribunal at Gitmo.
Here’s the best part of the story:
Lawyers for Hamdan say he is not implicated in any terrorist activity even though he served as the Al-Qaeda mastermind’s driver.
They also argue that he was mistreated while in US custody and was subjected to sleep deprivation, including being awakened every hour by guards during a 50-day period in 2003.
Call me crazy, but I think being Osama bin Laden’s driver qualifies as ‘terrorist activity.’ When he was stopped by U.S. forces, he had a missile launcher in his trunk.
We disrupted his sleep? Say it isn’t so.

Video: First Raw Footage of Gitmo Interrogation Ever Released
A videotaped interrogation by Canadian officials of a weeping teenage Guantanamo Bay prisoner was released over the Internet Tuesday, in what is believed to be the first such video from the U.S. facility seen by the public.
All I can say is boo-hoo! That little thug threw a grenade at American soldiers in Afghanistan where he was holed up with his Al-Qaeda pals. The fact that he’s in as good a shape as he is shows just how over-the-top humane we are to these killers.
