When will the right wing insist the NYC synagogue bombers are ‘too dangerous’ for U.S. prisons?
When will the right wing insist the NYC synagogue bombers are ‘too dangerous’ for U.S. prisons?
Last night, “an elaborate sting operation” resulted in the arrest of four men accused of plotting to bomb a synagogue and shoot down airplanes. The New York City Police Commissioner said the four men “stated that they wanted to commit jihad,” and said the men were part of a “homegrown terrorism” movement. Given conservatives’ recent hysterical declarations that U.S. prisons are unfit to handle terrorist suspects, Hilzoy challenges the right wing’s talking points in regards to the imprisonment of these “homegrown” terrorists:
This raises the difficult question: what should we do with these would-be terrorists while they await trial? And if they are convicted, what then? I assume that if it’s too dangerous to move people at Guantanamo to the United States, it must be much too dangerous to allow these jihadists to run loose in our prisons. After all, they might provide financing for other jihadists from their supermax cells, or radicalize other prisoners, or use special Terrorist Mind Control Techniques to create a whole army of brainwashed convicts under their complete control.

May 21st, 2009 at 11:06 amWe had better get to the bottom of these known unknowns pronto. Somebody rush them off to Gitmo and strap them to a board. Maybe they know where Iraqs wmds are. Maybe they can finally substantiate Dick Cheney’s assertions of Iraq’s complicity with al Qaida. It’s not too late Dick, we’ll clear your good name yet!
May 21st, 2009 at 11:07 amI find the timing of this suspicious. Are these guys credible? Are they in the same league as the Sears Tower guys? And if they caught them, doen’t that mean that Obama gets credit because he is Prez. now? How did they get the information. Until somebody tells all the facts, I will remain skeptical.

May 21st, 2009 at 11:16 amKudos to the FBI and New York Police for foiling this attack. And I can find nothing in the linked article that suggests this was accomplished through waterboarding.
May 21st, 2009 at 11:16 amSuper max prisons are design so prisoners cannot interact with each other. The right wingnuts are will say anything if they can turn it into slam on Obama. They only tool they have left is fear. They hope for Obama’s failure in the economy, and in national security. If there is another terror attack they will be giving each other “high-fives” celebrating avoiding the death of their party. It is possible that the longest legacy of the Bush administration is that he killed his own party. The weapons that Bush used were hyprcrisy and incompetence. We know what happens when a smirking cheerleader frat boy, who couldn’t get a job managing a car wash without his Daddy, becomes President. In 20 years or so a new 2nd party will emerge.

Sounds like our trolls allright, a pack of amateurs firing duds. Unfortunately CNP, these people thought that they actually had plastic explosives and a missile grenade launcher. Undercover officers luckily fooled them otherwise it could have been a true tragedy. Funny that this foiled plot was more carefully and seriously undertaken than the idiot who thought he could blow up an airport by igniting a fuel line miles away or the pach of idiots who thought they could take over a military intsallation all by themselves. Those two plots that occured on US soil under King George’s rule and have been touted ever since as true evidence of them keeping our Homeland safe. THOSE were rank amatuers CNP. THIS plan however, appears to have been quite viable if not for their mistake of purchasing arms from undercover agents.

No. There is none. They’re both criminals.
The fact that one has political motives and the other is motivated by other factors such as money or personal grievance is irrelevant to their right to due process.
Now, in terms of indictments and sentencing, I would favor prosecuting terrorists as we do hate-crimes, since their targets are not merely an individual victim but all members of the victim’s group. But that is not the same as denying them due-process rights and a fair trial.

How quickly we forget about Osama bin Laden. He hasn’t been captured and brought to justice yet, and our last president pretty much lost interest in him.
During the time we’ve gotten bogged down in Iraq — a country not connected to Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, or 9/11 — OBL has remained untouched and his Al Qaeda group has flourished (not to be confused with Al Qaeda Iraq, which is a different group). This is the hornet’s nest President Obama wants to eradicate.
I don’t like the idea of putting our military in harm’s way unless it genuinely is for the defense of our security. Iraq never met that criterion. The Al Qaeda in the hills between Afghanistan and Pakistan does meet it, as they really do mean to do us harm (and have actually attacked us). And hopefully we can take care of this fight without occupying entire countries, changing regimes, starting civil wars, manufacturing conflicts merely to give no-bid contracts to cronies, or spending $10 billion a month.
If we had focused on the Afghanistan situation all along instead of getting involved in a war for oil, we no doubt would have accomplished our objective and Obama wouldn’t be “ratcheting up” anything.

May 21st, 2009 at 3:23 pmThey do not have super powers. They are not like Magneto or The Hulk. Our supermaxs can hold them. Our medium maxs can hold them. I’m about an hour’s drive from Charles Manson and I never fear. That empty prison in Montana that holds about 400 and wants them is probably more isolated than Guantanomo.
Toaster is right. They deserve due process and a fair trial. It’s the American way. To put them in prison with no defense is unAmerican. They’ve been monitoring them for a year now—they must have enough to convict them fairly.

“Terrorist Mind Control Techniques?” “…to create a whole army of brainwashed convicts under their complete control.”
Are the terrorists practicing Voodoo? Maybe they’ve read the Mossad brainwashing guide? Maybe their prayers scare other inmates? Such spooky people, these Muslims.
Then again, maybe when the other prisoners hear their stories, they’ll start thinking. We can’t let that happen? After all, it wouldn’t take a lot to convince people that America’s leaders are dubious. Or that they’re controlled by Israel.
Sounds to me like we’re scared shit of what they might tell the other guys.
