Congressman Frank Wolf "Deeply Concerned" Obama Plan To Try 9/11 Terrorists Will "Put The U.S. On Trial" Instead November 14, 2009 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Congressman Frank Wolf [R-VA] on Friday blasted team Obama's decision to prosecute 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four other terrorists in a New York civilian court proceeding.
Wolf expressed concern that the terror defendants, "will push for the release of sensitive intelligence and defense information in an effort to disclose U.S. anti-terrorism tactics to their terrorist brethren abroad," further stating, "this is just a bad decision." The Congressman challenged AG Holder's assertion that terrorists pose no threat to the U.S. justice system, citing the 2000 trial of Mahmud Salim, one of the terrorists accused of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kenya. Salim, one of the original followers of Osama bin Laden and the highest ranking al-Qaeda member held in the U.S. at the time, stabbed New York prison guard Louis Pepe in the eye during an escape attempt. Though Salim is currently serving time for his attack on the guard, the judge ruled that he could not be prosecuted for terrorism. http://www.pipelinenews.org/index.cfm?page=wolf11.14.09%2Ehtm |
