Now that Obama wants to close Gitmo, how long will this trial take?

Five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks mock U.S. authorities and proclaim themselves “terrorists to the bone” in a war crimes court filing released Tuesday.

The five Guantanamo prisoners use the six-page document to try to justify the killing of nearly 3,000 people, portraying the attack as a response to U.S. actions in Israel, Iraq and elsewhere that is supported by their Muslim faith.

All five were charged with murder and other crimes at the Guantanamo war crimes court, which was suspended by President Barack Obama in January while his administration considers new strategies for prosecuting terrorists.

They criticize the U.S. for fighting “from behind roadblocks, trenches and warplanes” rather than face-to-face and describe Islam as “a religion of fear” for Jews, Christians and pagans.

Obama has ordered the closure of Guantanamo, so if and when the trials resume, they will be held somewhere else and most likely under a different legal system than the widely criticized military commissions created by Congress and President George W. Bush.

If they want to plead guilty, why not let them?

    Hmm. I didn’t know that. However, what does that have to do with him putting American lives at risk?

    You would have to be a big business executive to understand that.

    Why do you hate America so much?

    Huh. Who would have thought juggling puppies & putting condiments on hot dogs was “big business”?

    I guess you would… LOL

    Because after you have tortured them for five years, nothing they say is believable!

    look, its all false flag propaganda. the only reason this is getting dragged out is to serve as a distraction away from the real crooks.

    anyone who believes such a complex Op was carried without any backing from is more naive than a 5 year old.

    heck, just go tripping through the mountains of declassified documents. -your tax dollars
    at work.. :D

    for some anecdotal evidence, how about an old 1992 Timewatch documentary that focuses mostly on government backed terror campaigns
    to upset democracy in italy in the 80′s?
    (and the assassination of the italian PM)

    “Operation Gladio – Behind False Flag Terrorism”
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3409375633223151728

    also attempts to explain the “why” behind
    seemingly pointless murders at supermarkets
    etc.

    (guess what, [amongst others] -american cia/special ops were involved in that too. -features retired ex-police commissioners and the like for added *realism*) surprised? -i should hope not.

    people who like to believe their would never be engaged in such atrocities really need to take off the rose tinted glasses..

    -no doubt over the next few months we’ll have a few columbine style shootouts in the news to keep the public nice and malleable in accepting, maybe even begging, for more government intervention and expansion
    of the police state…most likely to end
    in another relatively large scale terror attack of some sort to put the icing on the cake.

    this will all be interwoven with phases II & III of the financial terror campaign (upcoming ARM/ALT-A mortgage resets coupled with the big hushed up commercial meltdown that will be played out like another media surprise.
    “omg, we had no clue this was going to happen, either!”

    meanwhile people as far back as 2001 had
    pegged 2009 as the beginning of the second great depression.

    -lots of fun government initiated crises still to come.[by virtue of financial regulatory
    rollbacks from the 70's forward]

    no doubt this is a precursory signal for more “mini-terror” -or isolated “kiddie”
    terror to be lined up to hit your local boob-tube in the next month or two.

    “crisis overload” would be an excellent card to play for the next three-four months. (through 12 to 18 months, of course.)

    in the midst of the current well planned, wonderfully executed financial terror
    campaign, we still have on the calendar, the commercial real-estate market collapse on deck, 2, 3 & 5 year Alt-A +(ARM) mortgage loan resets picking up steam with a proper roll out starting just as summer closes up shop.

    -and they have all been rolled up into AAA rated securities which seem to be in every portfolio on the planet

    -now add to that, some random shootings and you have the ultimate “terror buffet” any fascist would love to call their own.

    step way back and look at the big (global) picture. if you still cannot see the mechanics of what is right in front of your nose, well then, have a nice day.

    deprogram yourself by turning of the bloody TV. get a radio.

    now, go do something productive with your TV
    time. you’ll thank me in 5 years or so..

    -last little pearl of thought

    i think one of the most telling and maybe perplexing things that precipitated out of 9/11 was who the first pick to head the 9/11 Commission…non other than all around globalist fun guy -Henry Kissinger.

    -Kissinger? [-how did he get mixed in to this
    conspiracy crap?]

    -who of course, was taken off the list supposedly for conflicts of interest.
    however, since he would have had to had
    opened up his “little black book’ to the
    public..i say the interest was all his own.

    just think of this one confuzzlement

    -that crazy guy we all love to hate,
    -reborn again christian, president
    george w. bush,

    -who was such a staunch
    anti-abortion (or so we think) defender, supposedly supported the planned parent hood, abortion king, Henry Kissinger to head the 9/11 commission..

    i say planned parenthood king if only by

    relation to his ’1974 NSC “genocide”
    study” NSSM200 – National Security Study Memorandum 200″ that he proposed

    http://wlym.com/text/NSSM200.htm

    funny how this rather serious document [imo] escaped his “cleansed” wiki entry.

    -given bushes [later] fanatical anti-abortion views, i think this kinda stinks of a whole different kind of conflict of interest..

    maybe in the grand illusion, i’m supposed to believe bush put his political and personal agendas aside to recommend kissinger [who you would think he would *hate*] to do the job.

    however, if your step back and look at all the other propaganda, then how could you think bush is anything more than yet another elaborate NWO puppet, much like his father [to a lesser degree, given prescott's hand in history] as well as his replacement.

    it all amounts to nothing, yet everything, depending on who’s version of history you decide to get sucked into.

    bottom line is..study history, study motive, study “que bono” and lastly, study how to find “the truth.”

    put aside your political aspirations and bias aside and look at all the evidence. (or lack
    there off) and get a friggen clue..

    …um.. number mismatch in my previous post. gotta run to the store…be back in a bit to clarify..

    30 soundwash. Well I think I just experienced the “evidence. (or lack thereof),” anyway.

    “-given bushes [later] fanatical anti-abortion views, i think this kinda stinks of a whole different kind of conflict of interest..”

    Yes, I see the connection now. Bush needed Kissinger to cover up government destruction of the WTC towers because all the victims were pro-abortion or something like that.

    What “proof”?

    Perhaps Obama’s justice department has the good sense to know that a conviction and sentence will be useless, if there isn’t due process.
