Back Asswards Strategy

A little while back I wrote a post called, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, about the ongoing trial of al-Qaida terrorist. Complaint being that the judge had ruled out evidence collected by means of cohercive interrogation.
Well, last week the trial ended, the managing terrorist was found guilty on one count, that being 'conspiracy to destroy U.S. government property.  For this the al-Qaida member received a sentence of 20 years to life.
The Washington Post reports that White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said...

"In the case of Mr. Ghailani, there was a guilty verdict, a minimum sentence of 20 years that incapacitated somebody that has committed a terrorist act and because of that incapacitation is not going to threaten American lives,"
Later DOJ spokesman Matt Miller delflected responsibility by saying....
"One of the strengths of the criminal justice system is its ability to handle difficult cases,"
"This was a difficult case in that there were questions about Ghailani's treatment during the previous administration"
Do you hear that, that is the sound of a little rat blaming the hole in the cookie box on the baker.  These people go against common sense and then blame the result on the man who had it right.  The Guantanamo detainees are prisoners of war, treat them as such.  The President and the Department of Justice changed the outline in a manner that rendered intelligence unusable.
Judge Lewis Kaplan, a Clinton appointee, should be appointed to a new post, as Ghailani's truck driver in his next terrorist escapade. 
Eric Holder should be forced to live the rest of his life on food stamps, maybe in one of Charlie Rangle's rent control apartments. Maybe be given under the table work as a bat carrier during the nect election.
President Obama, 224 people were killed, you set up a trial that eviscerated the service of those citizens. Shame on you for not giving their families the justice they deserve, Ahmed Ghailani's death.
