Palin Calls Decision To Try 9/11 Defendants In Federal Court ‘Atrocious,’ Wants To ‘Hang ‘Em High’

Yesterday, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the five individuals accused of conspiring to commit the 9/11 attacks — including alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — will be prosecuted in U.S. federal court. “I am confident in the ability of our courts to provide these defendants a fair trial, just as they have for over 200 years,” said Holder. “The alleged 9/11 conspirators will stand trial in our justice system before an impartial jury under long-established rules and procedures.”

But the U.S. justice system apparently isn’t good enough for former Alaska governor Sarah Palin (who believes that the White House has a “Department of Law“). Last night she went on Facebook and posted a message calling the Obama administration’s decision “atrocious”:

Horrible decision, absolutely horrible. It is devastating for so many of us to hear that the Obama Administration decided that the 9/11 terrorist mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be given a criminal trial in New York. This is an atrocious decision. <...>

Criminal defense attorneys will now enter into delaying tactics and other methods in the hope of securing some kind of win for their “clients.” The trial will afford Mohammed the opportunity to grandstand and make use of his time in front of the world media to rally his disgusting terrorist cohorts. It will also be an insult to the victims of 9/11, as Mohammed will no doubt use the opportunity to spew his hateful rhetoric in the same neighborhood in which he ruthlessly cut down the lives of so many Americans. <...>

If we are stuck with this terrible Obama Administration decision, I, like most Americans, hope that Mohammed and his co-conspirators are convicted. Hang ‘em high.

OK, so the village now has two idiots. "Dead or Alive" and "Hang 'em High" Did some segment of our population watch too many spaghetti westerns?

4. hmmm - I suspect that your comment will not be well received

You might want to rephrase that

5. And what fucking law school did you graduate from, dumbass?

Sears?
Levicoch?
Snowmachine U?
Slurry?

6. OK to use Bush and Cheney as counterweights, Sarah?

12. I don't understand this opposition. The blind sheik was tried and convicted in NY

and is imprisoned in the US for bombing the WTC in 1993. The shoe bomber was also tried and convicted here as was Zacarias Moussoui.

WTH is this opposition about really, other than just the standard operating procedure that they automatically oppose anything the Obama administration does?

If military tribunals are what they wanted, then why the heck did they not do it when they had the chance?? Did they think we would hold these people in detention indefinitely?

[tularetom]

13. you ain't gonna "hang em high" unless they are convicted

And they won't be convicted unless they are put on trial.

So you see you dumbass blood thirsty beeyotch, the Obama administration is giving you exactly what you want.

14. Yee fucking haw.

These people disgust me.

They (and their deranged followers) are way too obsessed with 'hanging.'

[HopeOverFear]

17. I was just fixing to say that LOL

15. Quite simply the stupidest "politician" we've ever had in this country

She's infuriatingly stupid. I'd spank her if she were my child.

16. Some people don't understand democracy or the rule of law

People like Palin pretend to care about U.S. democracy, but they don't have an inkling of what it means. King George III might have been able to execute someone on a whim, but the American Constitution holds the state to a much higher standard.
