2/13/10 - Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Delivers Weekly GOP Address On Trials For Terrorists

In the Weekly Republican Address, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) explains why the Obama administration is mistaken to try terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammad in civilian courts instead of military tribunals.

Sen. Graham points out, "Never before have we allowed non-citizen, enemy combatants captured on the battlefield access to our civilian courts providing them with the same constitutional rights as American citizens.Al Qaeda terrorists should not receive more rights than a Nazi War criminal."

Sen. Graham says, "These trials should not take place in New York or any other civilian court. To do so, ignores the fact we are at war."

Instead, Sen. Graham, suggests, "The military justice system is transparent, well-staffed, subject to civilian review, and protects valuable intelligence. And above all else it is built around the idea that we are a nation at war."

The reason that he and other traitors of the constitution are so scared of an open trial is because the trial for the first WTC bombing revealed that the FBI knew about the bombing and allowed it to happen even helping suply the "terrorists".

Lindsey Graham is a traitor and a terrorist. I hope a black man rapes his lily white daughter and gets her pregnant with a mulatto bastard.

You have no room to speak Lindsey, your cover is blown. Talking about Nazzi war criminals, who wants americans to "carry ze papas" or card. You do ! Yourt talking out both sides of your mouth. You and Schumer both. Shame on the both of ya's.

I can't even give Graham the time of day anymore. I'm not a Democrat, but he has to go along with Chuck Schumer of N.Y.. These men want legislation to pass that will make every American have a card to hold a job in America. " show me ze papa's". where we liv'n ?? NAZI GERMANY. These men have to go. that is the ultimate infgringement on our liberties. Even thinking you can do this is un American. These are our leaders ? Please !!!
