[This related article is recommended in its entirety.]
“The acquittal of Guantanamo detainee Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani yesterday on all but one of 285 counts in connection with the 1998 Al Qaeda bombings of the U.S. embassies in Keyna and Tanzania has once again demonstrated that the leftist lawyers’ experiment in applying civilian trial rules to terrorists is gravely misguided and downright dangerous. The soon-to-be House Chairman on Homeland Security Peter King issued a statement blasting the trial outcome and the nonchalant response from the Justice Department:
“I am disgusted at the total miscarriage of justice today in Manhattan’s federal civilian court. In a case where Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was facing 285 criminal counts, including hundreds of murder charges, and where Attorney General Eric Holder assured us that ‘failure is not an option,’ the jury found him guilty on only one count and acquitted him of all other counts including every murder charge. This tragic verdict demonstrates the absolute insanity of the Obama Administration’s decision to try al-Qaeda terrorists in civilian courts”
The Congress can start by ending federal court jurisdiction over detainees. Then they should demand Eric Holder’s resignation — preferably before his serially wrong advice causes any more damage to our national security.”

Seriously, what the feck is going on here? And why the feck is it going on here? No, really; help me out here; how did the United States of America get reduced to a Keystone Kops comedy? Why are we putting up with this horseshit?
I keep waiting to wake up from this ridiculous recurring dream, but every day I wake up to a fresh insult to my intelligence. How do you cope with such a situation? Nothing in this god-forsaken administration makes any sense at all. Every major agency of the Executive is working overtime dreaming up ways to feck things up for the United States. Has every lefty in government lost his frickin' mind?
