WN: Giuliani: 9/11 Trials in NYC Will Lead to More Terrorism - NewsMa

[wyguy]

This is a bad idea. Our justice system is for American citizens. These terrorists are foreigners that should be tried for war crimes in a military court. If they are tried under our justice system, that means they are afforded the same rights as American citizens - which also means that any information obtained through coercion, such as water boarding, can be thrown out of court. Also, state secrets will be revealed to the benefit of terrorists everywhere.

The usage of the word 'terrorism' has been outlawed? By whom? Is there a link showing this?

Okay, outlawed may be a strong term, let's try PC'ed it away.

Here is a quote from Janet Napolitano, "Homeland Security Secretary," in Obama's cabinet.

She was asked about why she refused to use the word terrorist;

In my speech, although I did not use the word

Perhaps - it does not stop him from using the word, though. Do you remember the first time you heard the word "terrorist"? I was about 8 years old and was listening to a relative who was a military officer - speaking about terrorism... that was a long time ago. Terrorism has been around a lot longer than we think and I don't think that we will ever stop hearing that word ... again. It's been used to the point of distraction - everything is called terrorism now... foreign, domestic, international... it's a shadowy force that is the by-word for almost every single outrageous crime from a mental case shooting someone whose political views he didn't agree with to roadside bomb in Iraq.

Truth is Truth though sister.

Refusing to use the Word to define Terrorist activities and hiding our heads in the sand will leave us all the poorer and more likely to be harmed because we refuse to acknowledge the evil that is before our very faces.

That is the point of the OP and I believe Giulliani's position.

We will all be less safe and more likely to be hit by a terrorist attack because of the policies of this Administration and stating such is not divisive or subversive towards the President or America.

Peace,

I'm simply saying that the word is used so frequently now - I've not noticed (albeit Napolitano's comments in your post) that it had been used less.... I hear it so often and in so many contexts that it's practical use is foreshadowed by calling everyone who commits a criminal act some type of terrorist. I wonder where we should hold a trial for those who attacked our country if not in the jurisdiction where it was so violently perpetrated? We couldn't even get other countries to take a few Gitmo prisoners - who is going to host a trial of this magnitude? I do fear it will cause more responses from terror groups, but how or where should these murderous people be tried? I don't think there are any countries who would like to see it happen on their soil.

Read it before. It doesn't address all my questions - but I wonder if a Christian website is the place to ask them.

Are Christians not allowed to address or even comment on the issues of our day?

There is no personal attack against the President here. It is his policies that are being addressed.

Christians are, in my opinion, required to address and comment on the issues of our day. Those issues are critically important in our Walk and Growth in many cases. Oh, goodness - there are attacks a plenty on the President, his administration, his views, his wife, his vegetable garden, his clothing, his speech, his etiquette, his... everything .... Many of us have made snide (though somewhat amusing) comments and judgments about his views, behavior, etc. I'm trying to respect the Office and to stop having unkind thoughts about him - or anyone - It is somewhat difficult, is it not?

I don't think it's unkind to comment on his policies or the antics of this Administration at all. They are downright dangerous as this thread indicates and is also the opinion of Rudolph Giulianni, (which is my dogs name too ). Of course we are talking about the former Mayor of New York City and not my White Gemran Spitz.
