Unacceptable At Any And Every Level

Aug 17, 2023

It is stunning that this is a subject to write about, but it is. Approaching the 22-year mark since 2,977 were murdered by Islamofascist al Qaeda terrorists – 2,753 at the World Trade Center in New York (343 of whom were first responders), 184 at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, and 40 in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania – military prosecutors and defense lawyers are exploring a negotiated pleas deal.

This plea deal would spare Khalid Sheikh Mohammed – the attack's mastermind – and four others held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, from the death penalty.

An Unimaginable Slap At Every American

According to an Associated Press report by Ellen Knickmeyer and Jennifer Peltz:

“The prosecution of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others held at the US detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has been troubled by repeated delays and legal disputes, especially over the legal ramifications of the interrogation under torture that the men initially underwent while in CIA custody. No trial date has been set.
“‘The Office of the Chief Prosecutor has been negotiating and is considering entering into pre-trial agreements,’ or PTAs, the letter said. It told the families that while no plea agreement ‘has been finalized, and may never be finalized, it is possible that a PTA, in this case, would remove the possibility of the death penalty.’
“Some relatives of the nearly 3,000 people killed outright in the terror attacks expressed outrage over the prospect of ending the case short of a verdict. The military prosecutors pledged to take their views into consideration and present them to the military authorities who would make the final decision on accepting any plea agreement.
“The letter, dated Aug. 1, was received by at least some of the family members only this week. It asks them to respond by Monday to the FBI’s victim services division with any comments or questions about the possibility of such a plea agreement. The FBI had no comment Wednesday on the letter.”

The overt disrespect for the victims' families in giving them the bum’s rush to submit objections, comments, and protestations is par for the course for the Biden administration and its new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, gender-sensitive Pentagon. These actions commiserate with the horrific blunder that was their withdrawal from Afghanistan and coddling of the Iranian mullahs.

Why Would They Even Consider It?

According to the AP report, the prosecution of the five Islamofascist terrorists has been troubled by repeated delays and legal disputes over the legality of the CIA interrogation techniques used to extract actionable intelligence about not only the September 11th attacks but future terrorist operations constituting a direct threat to the United States, her people, and US assets around the world.

The certainty of activist objection to the CIA’s “enhanced interrogation techniques” metastasized shortly after the revelation of “waterboarding,” which – in the public’s mind – became the only element of enhanced interrogation.

It should be noted here that up until 2018, waterboarding was a training technique employed at the highest levels in our military academies. It was training used to harden our elite special operators if the enemy captures them. To believe that al Qaeda terrorists weren’t trained in the same hardening training is to be naive on an elevated level.

The activist objections were also nurtured through an effective marketing push by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to soften the image of fundamentalist Islam in the eyes of the West. The false narrative that Islam is a “religion of peace” was parroted by then-President George W. Bush, echoing through the houses of shaken Americans even as the World Trade Center remained smoldering in what became known as “the pile.”

As an aside, CAIR was designated as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holyland Foundation terrorism finance trial which saw, as the Clarion Project outlines:

“...seven key leaders of an Islamic charity known as the Holy Land Foundation for Relief & Development (HLF) went on trial for charges that they had: a) provided “material support and resources” to a foreign terrorist organization (namely Hamas); b) engaged in money laundering; and c) breached the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which prohibits transactions that threaten American national security. Along with the seven named defendants, the US government released a list of approximately 300 ‘unindicted co-conspirators’ and ‘joint venturers.’”

So, because the American activist demographic has succeeded in manipulating public sympathies for those who conspired to slaughter 2,977 people, at least some portion of the American public is copacetic with tolerating something less than exacting the ultimate price from these bloodthirsty murderers; a price they imposed on each of those they murdered on September 11, 2001.

Par For The Course For The ‘Hate America First' Crowd

We saw it first in the Obama administration’s approach to holding al Qaeda terrorists accountable for their murderous actions. The injection of the civilian legal system and the bestowing of rights reserved for US citizens onto those who were – admittedly – captured on the field of battle.

From the moment Obama took a knee to Saudi royalty the end-game was clear. There would be little justice for the families of those slaughtered on September 11th. He used the “bin Laden get” as a political tool of bona fides. But the writing was on the wall when surviving first responders who contracted life-threatening illnesses from having worked on “the pile” and at and around the World Trade Center had to sue to get the medical care they needed and deserved.

This capitulation to the “Great-Satan-hating” Middle Eastern Islamofascists continued in both then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s dismissal of pleas for help from those trapped at the Benghazi US embassy compound on September 11, 2012 – just 11 years after the attacks on our homeland, and President Obama’s freeing of frozen Iranian assets to the tune of $1.7 billion; Iran being the number one state sponsor of Islamofascist terrorism in the world.

Of course, now we have the Biden administration who, in his short time in office, has knowingly and willingly returned the country of Afghanistan to Taliban rule, provided hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars (under the guise of aid to Palestinians) to the Iranian-backed Hamas terror organization, and who is now – with the country pre-occupied with the disaster in Maui, the horrendous economy, the new Biden-facilitated conflict in Ukraine, the very real threat of a Chinese-Russian collaborative confrontation with the US, and its Mengele-like obsession with transgenderism – the soft-peddling of justice for those who planned and executed the attacks of September 11th.

Let’s Give Them Their Own Style Of Justice

There are those in the United States that abhor the death penalty, and that is their right; to have that opinion is their right. Several states – as is their right via the right to nullification – have banned the death penalty while others still employ the ultimate punishment for the most egregious.

But, that should have no relevance in this scenario and, in fact, not to follow the punishment laid out in the Islamic religion is to deny Mohammed and his ilk the prerequisites of their religion.

The Quran and the Hadith both mandate that the devout of the Islamic world exact death for myriad acts, including:

Intentional and Unintentional Murder
Treason
Apostasy
Terrorism
Land, Sea, or Air Piracy
Rape
Adultery
Homosexual Behavior

So, in the Islamic culture, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the four others held at Gitmo knew full well that the price they would have to pay – should they be caught – was death emanating from three rationales: intentional murder, unintentional murder, and terrorism.

Therefore, aren’t the military and government prosecutors of the Biden administration – those contemplating a plea deal – denying Mohammed and his conspirators the right to the free practice of their religion? Aren’t they being Islamophobic by denying them Allah’s will?

Bottom line. In an overwhelming majority of the countries around the world, Mohammed and his al Qaeda conspirators would have already been executed. This is especially true in Communist China, which the Biden administration seems to have a crush on.

The time has come and it is wrong and unacceptable – on any and every level – to cheat the hangman.

God bless the souls of the 2,977. Never, ever forget.
