Quick Fact: Debunking Scarbough's False Claim Re: Trials Of Foreign Terror Suspects

http://mediamatters.org/research/200911160002
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough falsely claimed that it is "unprecedented" to try foreign terror suspects through the United States' judicial system, stating, "It's unprecedented to afford constitutional rights to, basically, prisoners of war." In fact, during the Bush and Clinton administrations numerous foreign terrorists have been tried and imprisoned by our federal system, including 9-11 conspirator Zacarious Moussaoui and 1993 World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Ahmed Yousef.

Nothing more unamerican than being a flag pin wearing bull shit damn republican. Lets count the ways:

1) Republican governor from Texas wants seccession from the country

2) Osama Bin Laden given up for a bullshit war in IRAQ that has killed over 4000 Americans

3) Does not think the American Justice system will prevail

4) Resorts to scare tactics to affect voting when Bush was in power (raising and lowering terror alert)

5) MIchelle Bachman, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh
