America, after over 232 years, remains free as our elected US Executives (Presidents), Legislators (Senate and Congress), and/or Judiciary (US Supreme Court, Courts of Appeal, & District Courts) have always provided required resources to maintain a strong US Military as defined by our US Constitution. Our history will establish some administrations, from time to time, have lowered the top quality and personnel quantity of necessities to maintain the very best as money could provide and purchase for our armed forces.
President Obama promised in his campaign, and now is following up by action, to close Guantanamo Bay (GITMO). His position statement is to stop torture. Torture is denied as happening at GITMO. The International Red Cross is on premises to observe all. To suggest this as a claim is merely a folly, just to justify other actions. When we talk about terrorist combatants, we are not talking about soldiers in uniform, representing another government. We are dealing with a group of organized terrorists who are out to destroy freedoms operating within any free civilized society. Where will President Obama send these terrorist combatants? Where and when will President Obama allow these terrorist combatants to be freed to operate in our world, be jailed elsewhere, and/or be tried in our US Courts and/or Military Courts? Guantanamo Bay now houses some 250 terrorist combatants. One US Federal Judge, and in a 5 to 4 vote, the US Supreme Court has ruled GITMO detainees at the Guantanamo Bay facility in Cuba has habeas corpus rights, and can thus challenge the lawfulness of their detention. How many legislators on Capitol Hill will refuse to support our US Military for capturing these terrorist combatants? Capitol Hill legislators should pass legislation denying worldwide terrorist combatants rights under US law, allowing our US Military leaders to resolve this problem at their will?
President Obama may be the first Executive in the White House who may danger our freedoms as he chooses to downgrade our military and danger our armed forces in numbers, as well as in superior equipment. President Obama has promised to reduce our US Military expenditures.
Upon release, where will the GITMO terrorists go? I have a suggestion for President Obama, each of the 5 on SCOTUS who support habeas corpus rights, all members on Capitol Hill who support terrorists’ habeas corpus rights, and any others who wish to support habeas corpus rights to all international terrorists. Each of these terrorist supporters should open their own personal homes for terrorists and allow each to live in each of their own homes; in their own bedrooms. In the event the 250 terrorist combatants or so are too many, each of these supporting believers of terror should be willing to double-up until all these combatants are comfortably stress-free. To protect their own neighbors, each should build a fence around their property as to maintain each, including themselves, inside.
What has happened to old English Common Law which was founded in England under William the Conqueror, who combined some of the Anglo-Saxon Law with Norman Law? English Common Law was by custom and precedent, rather than by so much more written law. America was founded under English Common Law. English Common Law is Common Sense Law. Over the years, Americans’ elected legislators have “lawyerized” our judicial system, swaying away from English Common Sense Law. Common Sense Law would not release these terrorist combatants. Common Sense Law would keep these terrorists in a prison forever. Some GITMO terrorist combatants have already been released by Judges; only to rejoin Al-Qaeda, fighting members of militaries of free nations. Random International terrorist combatants should not have equal civil rights under US law!
Members of our US Military should not be sent to kill or capture terrorists, only to be forced to face those captured in any courtroom. This activity is destroying our US Military and our individual freedoms. America must maintain a strong military to keep America free. The world is counting on us.
God Bless America!
