HOW DOES THE PRESIDENT DEFINE WAR?
Yesterday the President said, "We are at war. We are at war against al Qaeda, a far-reaching network of violence and hatred that attacked us on 9/11, that killed nearly 3,000 innocent people, and that is plotting to strike us again." If we are at war, then why is an al Qaeda terrorist who tried to blow up a plane on Christmas Day being arraigned in a federal court today? Why is he not being treated as a prisoner of war? I call on the president to explain clearly his definition of “war against al Qaeda.”
I do not believe terrorists who kill or attempt to kill innocent people should be housed on U.S. soil and granted the same rights as American citizens. President Obama and House Democrats support the idea of bringing terrorists onto U.S. soil as a way to honor the Constitution. Affording terrorists constitutional protections does just the opposite – it weakens our judicial system and undermines our Constitution.
