“SO CALLED TERRORISTS” ?
October 19th, 2006 by WikibillNY Congressman Charlie Rangel is not sure who really is a terrorist. He called Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind, and the other terrorists at GTMO “so called terrorists”!
Watch it for yourself (h-tip to hotair.com) or read the transcript below:
O’REILLY: How do you think you’re going to get Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to tell you about his al Qaeda associates without coerced interrogation? How would you get him to tell you?
RANGEL: You said that these terrorists, these so-called terrorists that…
O’REILLY: So-called?
RANGEL: We don’t know who they are.
O’REILLY: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?
RANGEL: How are you going to find out - no, I’m not talking about him. I’m talking about.
O’REILLY: Well, that’s who we’re talking about here.
He is not sure if they are terrorists but he is sure the Democrats should grant them unprecedented Constitutional rights. Mr. Rangel and 160 other Democrats voted against the terrorist tribunal bill to bring these dangerous terrorists to justice.
The bill already grants captured enemy combatants more legal protections than any other prisoners in the history of warfare. Captured terrorists can have their detention reviewed by a military tribunal with a single appeal to the federal DC circuit court. But until the lawyers of the ACLU are empowered to stop any questioning of terrorists, and until our nations most sensitive national security secrets are free to be leaked to the enemy and the New York Times, Mr. Rangel’s liberal allies just won’t be happy.
America needs to ask Mr. Rangel and the rest of the “cut and run” Democratic leaders two questions:
How can you be serious about winning the war on terror if you aren’t even sure who’s a terrorist?
And how can America take you seriously about fighting the war on terror if you won’t even ask the enemy tough questions or listen to their phone calls?
