Obama Will Prosecute 9/11 Suspects In Kangaroo Court, For Freedom

• Yielding to dozens of Surveymonkey petitions, Barack Obama has decided that allowing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his merry 9/11 pranksters to be tried in a "normal" court -- you know, where torture-induced confessions are not considered "evidence" -- would be inappropriate, and that a sensationalized military kangaroo tribunal with a swift verdict would be much better for his reelection efforts. Anyway, now "justice" will be served? Sure! This is why we need indefinite detention camps, rape prisons and military comedy courts -- if we don't suspend habeas corpus, the terrorists will steal all of our precious freedums. [ AP ]

(This is not really news, but these court documents are definitely worth reading!) [ Reuters ]
