The Justice Department recently proposed moving 100 alleged terrorists from Guantánamo Bay to a vacant prison in Northwest Illinois when the controversial detention facility closes in 2010. As a lifelong Illinoisian , I'd like to welcome these alleged terrorists and jihadists to my home state. I hope your stay is pleasant - though not too pleasant - and provides you with memories to share with...

The decision to have Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the four other 9/11 planners face trial in a criminal court in New York is Obama’s boldest break yet from the much criticized counterterrorism policies of his predecessor; but there is continuity as well. When Attorney General Eric Holder announced the decision Friday, he noted that he was speaking “just over eight years” after the suicide...

Attorney General Eric Holder is appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning for a hearing on oversight of the Justice Department--the second at which he's appeared since being sworn in in February--and, while a range of issues will come up, Holder jumped right into his decision to try the 9/11 conspirators in New York, during his opening statement. And he was very deliberate in telling...

Un-freaking-believable. The Obama administration, once again "acting stupidly" - to steal one of his famous utterances - has decided to take a Muslim terrorist who committed an act of war by masterminding the attacks of September 11, 2001, and put him on trial in New York City, complete with all the constitutional protections and due process requirements that a trial in a civilian court of...

Dick Morris and Eileen McGann: As he flew to Asia on Saturday, President Obama told the media in Alaska that he opposes a congressional investigation into the Fort Hood massacre, saying that we must "resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into political theater." Yet, even as he was posturing against political theatrics, he had just decided that the prosecution of 9/11 mastermind...

Dick Morris and Eileen McGann falsely claimed in the New York Post that President Obama said "he opposes a congressional investigation into the Fort Hood massacre" and that Obama "is doing his best to stop Congress from finding out why these warnings went unheeded." In fact, in his November 14 weekly address Obama said "there should" be "inquiries by Congress."...

To the left is a supposed picture from Abu Ghraib, where a form of “stress torture” is being implemented. I know that this is an area that different conservatives find themselves on different sides. The things that were done in Abu Ghraib were disgusting and crossed the line between “advanced interrogation” and “indisputable torture”. There is a difference between...

In this order. The blind Sheikh Waterboarding Putz Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, you'll remember, was convicted of seditious conspiracy and sentenced to life for his role in the first WTC bombing.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed , who confessed to be the mastermind of the 9/11 terror attack, will be tried at a federal courthouse in lower Manhattan with the same rights as any US citizens. What is the purpose of this trial if Mr. Mohammed has already confessed? For the Obama administration, the trial will kill two birds with one stone and neither one is to seek justice for Mr. Mohammed since we all already...
