I say, let Obama put a battlefield captive on trial in this country and see what happens. The first time one of these killers is released on a technicality, watch what happens to Obama and his party in the polls and at the next election. Could be fun.

From Fox News:   The Obama administration is looking to transfer a detainee who is being held overseas and is said to have “blood on his hands” to the U.S. for a military trial, sources close to the military commission process tell Fox News.

The move could be a test case for bringing detainees captured overseas to America for military commissions. It comes as the administration claims to be reining in its drone program, which critics say amounts to a kill program — with top terrorists rarely being captured for interrogation or trial.

Sources say the detainee in this case is a relatively new capture, who has “no taint associated with interrogations” that could complicate a military proceeding inside the U.S. The detainee would likely be prosecuted on war crimes charges.

The administration has already moved to prosecute some alleged terrorists captured overseas in federal court. But Fox News is told that prosecuting this detainee in federal court was deemed unlikely based on the available evidence.

The identification of the detainee came after a fact-finding team traveled overseas. Sources told Fox News the team’s destination was believed to be Afghanistan where detainees, described as EST’s (enduring security threats), are being held.

Editor’s notes:  I don’t know when we started calling these people “detainees,”  but it really is a ridiculous term.  Remember the good old days when we called them “enemy combatants” or,  better yet,  “prisoners of war?”  Now,  they are just “detainees,”  as if their journey through life has been put on hold for time,  detained by the Evil Satanic Empire.   

Anyway,  more to the point is this,  when we combine the Fox wording,  ". . . . . .  top terrorists [are] rarely being captured for interrogation . . . "  with the phrase " . . . . . no taint associated with interrogations . . . ,"  we realize that Obama considers it more important to either kill these people outright,  or put them into the Federal trials system rather than interrogate them for the purpose of saving the lives our troops,  overseas,  or of learning what these evil morons are planning for the future.  

More than this,  we understand that Federal trial has never been a process for the overseas detainee,  in spite of the fact that Obama and Eric [With]Hold keep telling us of all the hundreds of cases successfully tried in civilian court.  

Mirandizing battlefield combatants,  if you can believe that,  is a component of the Obama "war" on terror. Warning the enemy that he will be provided a lawyer and should not talk without a lawyer present,  is hardly the way to win a war;  it certainly is no way to begin an “interrogation.” 

Obama is in for a rude awakening if he thinks a battlefield capture,  will ever be convicted in a civilian court.  Guaranteed,  the first time he tries this,  and the "detainee" is freed "on a technicality,"  that will be the end to this Utopian fantasy and his party,  at the next election reckoning. 

So I say,  "Bring it on."  Bring one of these killers into the Federal system and see what happens  . . . .   to you and your party.
