Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R – KY) today demanded that the Obama Administration immediately remove two Iraqis arrested in Kentucky as “suspected terrorists” from his home state, saying they should be immediately sent to Guantanamo Bay for military detention.
“Send them to Guantanamo where they belong,” insisted McConnell, adding that the two suspects don’t deserve civilian trials and should be sent to the notorious island prison for “the justice they deserve.”
The two Iraqis were in the country legally, but are charged with “conspiring to send weapons and money to al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI).” The attorney for one of them insisted that sending the two to Guantanamo simply wasn’t an option since they enjoy the same rights as everyone in the nation legally.
The Justice Department insisted that the two underwent “extensive interrogation” after their detention and insisted the federal courts were perfectly capable of handling the cases in the normal manner. No trial dates were set for either man.
McConnell has long been a hater of America and its freedoms.
The photo tells all; this guy is a nut job.
Constitution? What constitution?
Obviously, like the Geneva convention, it's "quaint" and outmoded.
This guy is the minority leader?
People of Arab decent.., you need to leave US almost immediately as possible.., that is if your country is not been bombed by US or NATO.., by tomorrow if not yesterday.., Iranian people also prepare for leaving because when US is attacking Iran then you are going to be marked as terrorists cells operating on behalf of dead Khomini. So goes for Chinese decent, Koreans, Russians and those who look different then Europeans.., Europeans they can stay because they can hide among Americans.., they do look alike American with or without green card, legally or not they can hide and stay because they look a like Sen. McConnel.., and this other guy from North Carolina.
Now here is a lunatic who needs a good dose of waterboardin' to set his lying tongue to wagging in order to save his wrinkly ass! Imagine all the skeletons we'd unearth in all those hidden closets.
McConnell is a Class-A moron. Send him to Guantanamo for a lobotomy.
Grew up on westerns (I'm an old git).. the scene where the mob approaches the sheriff's office.. to confront ie., Duke Wayne on the porch with the shotgun.. there's always some goon in the mob who yells "Get A Rope! String 'im up!"
That's the guy.
Shouldn't a Senator have to have an IQ higher than his Ding Bat Factor score? Apparently not
Remember, he's the Senator from Kentucky. Their other Senator was crazy as a loon for a while, and they kept re-electing him because he used to be a pro baseball pitcher.
Mitch McConnell should be impeached immediately for violating his oath of office to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." His demand is clearly an attack on the due process clause.
This guy is supposed to be a lawyer. Proves that the law is only what those who control say it is. They'll determine what "Justice" is deserved – screw the written law – just worthless paper anyway.
There is but one word from the Constitution of the United States Of America that should be given to this Republican.
Attainder,
He should be told to look for it in the Constitution and then told to find out what it means.
He should them be impeached for trying to have some one attained.
He should also find out that the crime associated with it can only be tried in a Civilian Article III Court on US Soil!
And we demand that McConnel be sent to Gitmo.
I am a Kentuckian and this guy makes me sick everytime he opens his mouth, he is the worse Senator to grace this great state of Kentucky. He is not a Kentuckian. He is a coward. He voted to invade these fellers country. His voting for the war led to the war crimes commited in that country. He deserves to go to Gitmo.
McConnell is a tyrant. The government can accuse anyone of anything, but that does not mean its accusation is true. That is why the government should have to prove its accusations in a law court. In McConnell's America, however, all the government has to do is accuse you of terrorism to lock you up for life, torture you, or even kill you. This is due process of law according the likes of McConnell (and Obomba). Welcome to Amerika!
