“I’ll talk to you guys after I get to New York and see my lawyer.”

That, according to former Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet, is what September 11 planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) said when he was captured in March 2003.

The lawyers are members of the ACLU’s John Adams Project, which is run in conjunction with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL). The John Adams Project represents Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the four other 9/11 conspirators the Obama administration has decided to move to U.S. soil for trial. Thus, it is not surprising that the ACLU has praised the controversial move, saying it was “a major victory for due process and the rule of law.”

It is nothing of the sort, but the ACLU consistently portrays itself in this light–as if it is only concerned with protecting the “rule of law.” The reality is quite different. The ACLU has worked diligently to undermine America’s stance in what was formerly known as the “war on terror,” and has even been willing to disseminate propaganda on behalf of our jihadist enemies.

Here is an example of what could result; MIAMI — A judge handed two brothers prison terms of six and seven years on Wednesday for swearing allegiance to Al-Qaeda and plotting to blow up the Sears Tower, once the tallest building in the world.

US District Judge Joan Lenard found Burson and Rotschild Augustin, who wept as their sentences were read, played a minor role in the 2006 conspiracy and gave them a far lighter sentence than the 30 years prosecutors had sought.

In handing down the sentence against 24-year-old Burson, Lenard said: “Islamic terrorism is one of the most tremendous problems that this country now confronts… this defendant took an oath to Al-Qaeda.”

Does anyone think its ironic that today the arabs have the “worlds tallest building” (in Dubai), while before 9/11 the worlds tallest building was the Sears Towers ( before it was destroyed by a bunch of arabs)?

So my question is this:

Isn’t it in appropriate for a bunch of arabs to brag about having the “world’s tallest building”, since it only got to be that way because of a terrorist attack by people from their part of the world??

The 1993 World Trade Center bombers were captured by the FBI

Timothy McVeigh was captured by a local sheriffs deputy

Richard Reid (shoe bomber) was detained by passengers and later arrested by the FBI.

The conspirators of the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot to make liquid explosives on a jetliner were caught by Scotland Yard.

The recent NY synagogue bombers were captured by the FBI before the attack.

The proposed Sears Towers bombers were captured by the FBI

NYC Police apprehended 4 suspects intending to bomb the jet fuel facility at Kennedy International Airport.

Even Khalid Sheik Mohammed was captured by the Pakistani ISI (intelligence service) and handed to US authorities.

So why is the military the tool being used to fight terrorism, when law enforcement seems to do a better job?
Still campaigning: Because the military is incredibly expensive and a very blunt tool.

Using the military to fight terrorists is like trying to swat a fly with a sledgehammer. You may get the fly eventually, but there is a huge mess to clean up as a result.

butterfly36 asked:


I am a woman in my 20’s. My aunt is in her 50’s. She has flown in to visit me for a day in Chicago. She will be here on Monday, December 21st. I would love to get suggestions on unique things (preferably seasonal/Christmas) we could do together both during the day and in the evening.

She has been to Chicago before so she has seen the sears tower, most museums, etc. I’m thinking of taking her to Lincoln park zoo lights, but I am also looking for something indoors. I’m weary of taking her to navy pier because it might be too chaotic with children running around.

Any suggestions would be terrific. Thanks so much.

N.H. asked:


Shouldn’t the formaly Sears Tower get its name back? I dont think its right for someone from another country to change the tallest building in the US’ name. It is a strong part of our culture, we are proud of the Sears Tower and I think its name should be changed back
