When I turned on Fox News this morning, I saw an elderly couple standing near what I think must have been the gravesite of their son who was killed during the U.S.S. Cole bombing. I tuned in a bit late to get the entire story. They looked deeply saddened and absolutely heartbroken to find out about the charges being dropped against a key suspect in that bombing.
My Way News: Charges dropped vs. suspect in 2000 USS Cole blast
By LARA JAKES
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon says the senior military judge overseeing terror trials at Guantanamo Bay has dropped charges against a suspect in the 2000 USS Cole bombing.
The military charges against suspected al-Qaida bomber Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri marked the last active war crimes case at Guantanamo Bay.
The legal move by Susan J. Crawford, the top legal authority for military trials at Guantanamo, brings all cases into compliance with President Barack Obama's executive order to halt terrorist court proceedings at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba.
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Crawford dismissed the charges against al-Nashiri without prejudice. That means new charges can be brought again later. He will remain in prison for the time being.
"It was her decision, but it reflects the fact that the president has issued an executive order which mandates that the military commissions be halted, pending the outcome of several reviews of our operations down at Guantanamo," Morrell said Thursday night.
The ruling also gives the White House time to review the legal cases of all 245 terror suspects held there and decide whether they should be prosecuted in the U.S. or released to other nations.
Obama was expected to meet with families of Cole and 9/11 victims at the White House on Friday afternoon to announce the move.
See the video of Commander Lippold of the Cole on Fox and Friends: video.
Commenter "4Christ" at Digg had this to say:
FTA--" Susan Crawford dismissed the charges against al-Nashiri without prejudice. That means new charges can be brought again later. He will remain in prison "for the time being".
“It was her decision, but it reflects the fact that the president has issued an executive order which mandates that the military commissions be halted, pending the outcome of several reviews of our operations down at Guantanamo,” Morrell said Thursday night.

Well what the heck! The new prez is an imbecilic moron! Wonder how long before they actually exit the cells, gather together for intelligence, perhaps conspiring another 9 / 11 or far, far worse Orchestrating their maneuvers with those who are already in place waiting, -( these people are NOT stupid)- as they plan another mission based upon the extra hatred they have now since being locked up for their war crimes for so long. What an idiot! I don't like saying that about the person those other people have chosen as president? But man!! If it walks like a duck, and it quacks like duck, what else can you call it but the duck, and sometimes meek little chicken that he is? In the oval office no less.
I would have said something worse...so I posted 4Christ's comment instead.
But wait, here's a comment from "futurerocketman" at the Fox News article:
I KNOW that what NObama has done is TREASON. That's right, I said it, Obama has committed TREASON against this once-great nation. Obama should be impeached, tried, and sent before a firing squad. The crime of treason is one of giving AID and COMFORT to the ENEMIES of the USA. If anything is COMFORT, it is sending an evil demon before a CIVILIAN court, where evidence that could convict him would be deamed unable to present. THerefore, the DEMON would be released, possibly into the USA. What does this mean? it means that INNOCENT AMERICAN CITIZENS will be massacred by a DEMON that the treacherous AMERICAN PRESIDENT has allowed to go FREE. OBama should be tried for treason.
I don't agree with the "firing squad" part, but the rest sounds about right to me.
Removal from office and placement in a jail sounds good enough to me.

What many of you do not believe is that Obama Hussein is a closet Muslim, a hidden Muslim.
One thing you are forced to acknowledge is that Obama was Muslim when he lived in Indonesia with his Muslim step-father. Obama is even mentioned as being Muslim on his Indonesia school records.
Now the situation is quite simple. He knew he would have an impossible task of succeeding in politics if he was to stay a Muslim. Therefore, he made the necessary move of becoming a Christian to insure any possible hope of a political career in the future. Does it mean he renounced being a Muslim? NO! Why NO? Because, when you learn to become a Muslim, you adopt Mohammed's life as your role model in life. What was Mohammed's life? Deceit to the highest level and to the vilest, evilest level possible! That is the reason why it was not hard at all for Obama to become a Christian officially while staying a Muslim privately.
Hence, what did Obama do first in Office? Act on behalf of Muslims imprisoned!!!
Make perfect sense for a closet Muslim. A true Christian would never ever have started his Office by such measures on behalf of Muslims implicated in terrorism!

Since Obama’s earnest drive to convince the nation to weaken its economic strength through redistribution as well as weaken its national defense, have confirmed the very threats to our Republic’s survival that the Constitution was designed to avert, it no longer is sustainable for the United States Supreme Court and Military Joint Chiefs to refrain from exercising WHAT IS THEIR ABSOLUTE CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY TO DEFEND THE NATION FROM UNLAWFUL USURPATION. The questions of Obama’s Kenyan birth and his father’s Kenyan/British citizenship (admitted on his own website) have been conflated by his sustained unwillingnes to supply his long form birth certificate now under seal, and compounded by his internet posting of a discredited “after-the-fact” short form ‘certificate’. In the absence of these issues being acknowledged and addessed, IT IS MANIFEST THAT OBAMA REMAINS INELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT UNDER ARTICLE 2 OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. Being a 14th Amendment “citizen” is not sufficient. A “President” MUST BE an Article 2 “natural born citizen” AS DEFINED BY THE FRAMERS’ INTENT.
Theirs a lot that I don't under stand. all this money obama is giving to the states, why can't the states put the money were its needed.
That answer should be easy to answer its because he wants to control it like a bank.
He wants to create new jobs build roads and free ways.
Up here in Arizona teachers are getting lead of by the hundreds the ones that teach are children as thy are being lead of a cross are country.
These teachers can't go to another city, and get a job there laying of to were are these teachers going to go if all states are not hiring?
Are these teachers going to make roads,freeways?
Is the change that obama is talking about could it be down sizing?
Its the same way with the car companies like G.M.C let them go into bankruptcy thy will come out stranger and smaller.
Were due those that thy let go were due thy work? Make and build roads?
To me I fill make a smaller work forse is to make a smaller country.
To make a long story short those ones that don't have jobs will no longer be.
So the change that every one wanted is a change thy may regert.
Cut the jobs, Cut the programs, Cut the people, this is what the Government wants. I fill that money should of want for keeping the jobs, keeping the programs, keeping the people, bring down the unemployment. loseing jobs, and programs , rises the unemployment.
Like obama said we need to educate the people this country will not be like it has in the past.
We need to educate Mr obama!
We hired you
we voted you in office
You work for us
We pay you
We the people

I am not a person that would go after another only to protect my self as any would.
I due not have a gun but believe if you want one should be your right to whom one.
Things in the vary near future is going to start happening, and the blame will be on the Christians right wing people, Thy are going to call it. I can see that happening.
What better way then to turn others against the ones that speak the truth. blame us for there foughts
Some thing gets bombed here it had to be those ones that are against us having a better life
I wouldn't be surprise some thing like that doesn't happen over in the middle east so the other country would get the blame.
Theirs got to be some thing that happens to turn people against the others, so thy can in return lock them up with out them coming at them.
If thy just start coming to ones house grab you to take you in there would be those that would think it was wrong.
Now if there minds were filled up with trash things that didn't happen them that would be easy.
Thy would even turn you in.
If need be.
To some this might sound dumb there dumb to begain with.
Theirs nothen wrong with watching and listing
I listen to the news and believe what most of it talks about.
Thy talk about really nothen any more when it comes to obama its what he wants on the air nothen else.
What we need I think are feet on the ground, people that watch in there towns, there stats there country.
A few years back when I turned on the news I was seeing the news of are state and world.
Now I see some on the news but also there using there time to teach you how to put on make up any thing other then whats going on down the street.
News people say we can tell any thing our right to report.But really our thy I fill thy our at times told what to say or else. obamam and his government
now control the banks but really a whole lot more.
where due t.v stations keep there money at? and every one else that has a company were due every one go to for a lone? to buy what ever? to a bank a loan company.
If he wanted to stop all money flowing what would he due? I should say un able to due?
Thats why I fill he started at the banks hes got the whole world in his hands as we talk his way or the high way you choose.
Flybird,
Thank you for your comments.
I decided not to post your latest comment with links to various articles regarding "FEMA camps" and the "NWO." I checked out the sites and some of the information was old (2005) and appeared outdated (e.g. President Bush never used such camps as was predicted by posters); and, some of the information was definitely bogus.
Thank you for sharing the links with me, though.
