Barack's View on Terrorism: Rosy

Attorney Scott Johnson writes an Opinion piece in the New York Post today about Barack's "lack of knowledge on important issues--such as the law and terrorism."



Here are some of the highlights.



In an ABC interview, Obama "claimed that, in the case of

the first attack against the World Trade Center, we were able to arrest
those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in US prisons,
incapacitated.

As Johnson points out, this is patently false. Johnson cites the writings of Andrew McCarthy, who prosecuted the culprits of the World Trade Center attack of '93:

While the government managed to prosecute many people responsible for the 1993 WTC bombing, many also escaped prosecution because of the limits on civilian criminal prosecution.

What this means, is that many terrorists involved in the '93 attack are not in prison. There is a certain threshold of evidence needed to convict someone in the American justice system.



People, like Abdul Rahman Yasin, were released because "there was not sufficient evidence to hold him."

For those that were thrown into prison, like Omar Abdel-Rahman, they were able to communicate with their followers through their defense attorney, Lynne Stewart. Essentially, they could be just as effective in an American prison.
