Holder Makes An Admission

.
TERRORISTS WILL LIKELY
BE RELEASED IN THE USA

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION FINALLY ADMITS
THE TRUTH ABOUT TERRORISTS IN GITMO


As shocking as it seems to those of us who understand the threat that Islamic terrorism poses to Americans, the Attorney General in the Obama Administration finally admitted that they are considering RELEASING TERRORIST IN THE UNITED STATES!

Attorney General Eric Holder is about to say “WELCOME TO AMERICA” to as many as 240 terrorist detainees currently being held safely and securely in Guantanamo Bay on the island of Cuba where they pose no threat to American security.

"People who can be released, there are a variety of options that we have, among them is the possibility that we would release them into this country," he said with a straight face!


Please make a contribution today to help fight Obama’s dangerous
agenda to close Gitmo and bring terrorists to America!


The left-wing culture that wants to blame America for everything wrong in the world is in power today in Washington D.C. They honestly believe that America has done something to bring on this hatred from terrorists who want to wipe us off the map and end freedom in the world.

Why can’t they understand that this is a war against terrorism? This isn’t about better law enforcement; this is an actual war against militant crackpots that want us all dead or living under a barbaric and wrong interpretation of their religion.

But now President Obama has ordered the Detention Facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be closed, and the Administration is trying to figure out what to do next. They ended the military trials that would have convicted and executed some of these ruthless murderers.

So now Holder has admitted that some detainees could be tried in U.S. courts and even released onto U.S. soil as legal immigrants if the new Obama administration cannot convict them in a U.S. courtroom, where they will have more opportunities to take advantage of the system. You can bet the ACLU lawyers will be there looking for legal loopholes to put these terrorists back on the streets and killing Americans again.

We have to show the Obama Administration we don’t want terrorists tried in American courts where they can have the same rights and privileges as an American citizen. We have to show Obama we don’t want any one of them set loose on American soil.


MAKE A DONATION TO HELP US MAKE SURE THIS CATASTROPHE NEVER HAPPENS!

Move America Forward has been warning for months that this was the terrifying but very real possibility, but this is the first time a member of Obama’s administration has been so flatly honest with the American people about that prospect. Yet, there was barely a mention in the liberal U.S. media that covers up everything they can.

This could happen any time! And that means the potential of one of these jihadists and their ACLU LAWYER somehow working the system to get them off the hook and freely walking on American soil is now a very real and imminent possibility! How would you like to see this character living in your neighborhood?


Keep Terrorists like this one, Khalid Sheik Mohammed (the alleged mastermind of 9/11 and the man who allegedly beheaded U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl , where he belongs – LOCKED UP IN GITMO and NOT on trial in a U.S. COURT – with the same rights as US citizens!


The danger of this happening, no matter how unthinkable it sounds, is REAL AND IMMINENT! Terrorists could be tried in US Courts and end up on the streets of America in a matter of days.

Please join us in creating a public backlash against this possibility, as we have to show the Obama Administration that we are totally against ANY TERRORISTS being allowed in the U.S. We must be willing to TAKE ACTION TO STOP IT!

The first step is helping Move America Forward spearhead this grassroots rebellion against this policy of Obama’s administration! Please make a donation today to keep this movement going.


As Americans, we can never allow terrorists to plot a dangerous attack on our soil ever again…if such a thing occurred, how could we live with ourselves knowing we could have done more to try and stop it? Even if the Obama’s administration is resolved to ignore the possibility of these threats WE CANNOT! Please make a contribution NOW!

Email from Deborah Johns and MAF

As many of you know I am the proud mother of a United States Marine, Staff Sergeant, William Johns. He's served several tours of duty in the War on Terror including three separate deployments in Iraq.

So when it comes to anti-military politicians who are bad for our troops, I take things pretty seriously. And I am furious with Democrat Scott Murphy who is running in the hugely important Special Election for Congress on March 31st in NY-20.

Murphy has just come out against the death penalty for terrorists - even those who orchestrated the 9/11 terrorist attacks. And he also came out in favor of closing the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay, because he thinks we treat the prisoners too rough. And remember, Scott Murphy was an anti-military activist who fought to keep the military's ROTC program off the Harvard campus.

We can't let this man represent our country in Congress. His contempt for the military is obvious, and he's little more than a "Blame America First" apologist -- soft on our enemies but hard on our troops.

On Monday I am going into the radio studio to record a brand new ad we at the Our Country Deserves Better Committee will be running against Scott Murphy on this issue.

Simply put we've got to raise $25,000 in two days to get the new ad on the airwaves so voters can know the truth about Scott Murphy. I've pasted in a copy of the script for the radio ad below. Please - we have so little time to make this all work and get this ad on the airwaves, I really need you all to pitch in with a contribution. The maximum allowed contribution is $5,000, but I know you can only contribute what you can afford. I just hope there are others out there who can help this proud Marine Mom fight back against this anti-military jerk who is running for Congress.

OUR COUNTRY DESERVES BETTER COMMITTEE

RADIO AD SCRIPT – “ANGRY MARINE MOM”

ANNOUNCER: MARINE MOM, DEBORAH JOHNS:

I’m Deborah Johns, proud mother of Marine Staff Sergeant William Johns.

William has served multiple tours of duty in the War on Terror because he wanted to give back to the country that has given him so much.

I’ve therefore become very active supporting our troop, sending care packages to our military men and women serving abroad, and also making sure our leaders stay loyal to the troops.

And let me tell you, I’m furious with Scott Murphy, the liberal Democrat candidate for Congress.

Mr. Murphy was an anti-military activist in college – fighting to keep the military’s ROTC program off campus.

He co-wrote an editorial calling the military racist, sexist and homophobic.

Murphy advocates closing down the terrorist prison at GITMO even though the U.S. Attorney General says some of those terrorists would likely be released here on American soil.

And now he’s announced that he opposes the death penalty for terrorists – even those who orchestrated the horrific 9/11 attacks.

Folks, our military men and women deserve better than liberal Democrat Scott Murphy.

Move America Forward: Gitmo Detainees May be Freed in the United States

Gitmo Detainees May be Freed in the United States

We at Move America Forward have warned that this could happen, and now the U.S. Attorney General has confirmed it: Terrorist suspects now held at Guanatanamo Bay may be turned loose in the United States, leaving them free to commit attacks on our citizens.

Reuters has the story here:

WASHINGTON, March 18 (Reuters) - Some of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners could be released into the United States while others could be put on trial in the American court system, Attorney General Eric Holder said on Wednesday.

Holder, who was chosen by President Barack Obama to lead the administration’s efforts to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba within a year, said the review of what to do with each of the prisoners had begun.

About 240 terrorism suspects, including suspected planners of the Sept. 11 attacks, are being held in the prison. Many have been detained for seven years without charges and some were subjected to interrogation techniques denounced by critics as torture.

The administration faces intense political resistance to the idea of bringing the prisoners to the United States as part of closing the detention camp. The administration seeks to transfer some detainees to Europe or other countries while freeing others.

Holder told reporters at the Justice Department that the administration’s review, made on a case-by-case basis, would determine whether the prisoners need to be put on trial or whether they can be released.

“For those who are in that second category, who can be released, there are a variety of options that we have. Among them is the possibility that we could release them into this country,” he said.

Holder said it was possible the 17 Chinese Muslims who have been held for years at Guantanamo, and two or three others prisoners, could be freed in the United States.

The 17 members of the Uighur ethic group have been cleared for release but have nonetheless remained at Guantanamo while the United States tries to find a country willing to take them. The U.S. government has said it cannot return them to China because they would face persecution there.

“We’ve been trying to come up with places for them,” Holder said of the Uighurs. Their lawyers have asked Obama to bring them to the United States.

MAF visited Gitmo during the Christmas holiday and we saw the prisoners firsthand. One stared me down and made a hand gesture showing he wanted to cut my throat. Under the Obama Administration’s plans, this guy could turn up in your neighborhood.

Never Forget!

9/11 defendants: We're 'terrorists to the bone'

Five charged with war crimes refer to 9/11 as 'the great attack on America'

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks mock U.S. authorities and proclaim themselves "terrorists to the bone" in a war crimes court filing released Tuesday.

The five Guantanamo prisoners use the six-page document to try to justify the killing of nearly 3,000 people, portraying the attack as a response to U.S. actions in Israel, Iraq and elsewhere that is supported by their Muslim faith.

"We fight you over defending Muslims, their land, their holy sites, and their religion as a whole," they write in the document, which was submitted to the Guantanamo war crimes court and released by the Pentagon, in English, over the objections of attorneys for two of the men.

From the desk of Melanie Morgan


MOVE AMERICA FORWARD “KEEP GITMO OPEN” PRESS CONFERENCE A COMPLETE SUCCESS

9/11 FAMILIES AND SEN. JAMES INHOFE ARE HIGHLIGHTS


9/11 Family Member Debra Burlingame addressing the press
conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC


We wanted to keep you up to date on our fantastic press conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC to unveil our new 30 second TV spot alerting the public about the dangers of President Barack Obama’s plan to close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center for terrorists.

MAF was joined by families of victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and was honored to also host Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma. The room was absolutely packed with press, so packed in fact that people were turned away at the door!


Reporters and journalists packed the room, even some
German, Japanese, Russian, Hindu, and Arab Media!


Pia, one of our supporters, wrote to us afterwards, “I got to the doors of the Murrow Room at 10:03 and was told it was a full house and already begun. I'm sorry that I didn't make it on time and hope it was a successful launch. Keep up the good work.” We wish we could have got you in.


I am about to start the press conference and introduce
Senator Inhofe, who is standing off to the left.


I spoke first and layed out our mission: to protect the lives and safety of Americans by keeping Gitmo open. We have been to Guantanamo Bay and seen with our own eyes the fantastic job our troops are doing in guarding these murderous terrorists. It is simply outrageous for the President to leave people with the impression that our troops have done something wrong. We will always stand up so that our troops can keep doing their jobs; we protect the honor of our brave troops; and we will NOT allow the media or the President to trash the name of Guantanamo Bay unfairly.

Then, Senator James Inhofe spoke cogently and gave some background on Gitmo as well as giving some background about his own legislation that he introduced into Congress which would prohibit the President from bringing these terrorist onto U.S. soil.

Senator Inhofe also reminded people that “there is a surge going on in Afghanistan…we’re going to get quite a few other detainees.” Inhofe pointed out that there are no places like Guantanamo Bay to bring in new detainees taken off the battlefield.


Senator Inhofe answering reporter questions

The Senator told the assembled press, “I wish President Obama would just go there, and take a tour, see what Melanie and Debbie and some of the rest of us have seen, and [he] would change [his] opinion.” We agree on that!

We also heard from MAF’s Debbie Lee, mother of Marc Alan Lee, the first U.S. Navy SEAL killed in the war in Iraq, and four individuals who lost family members in the devastating terrorist attacks of September 11th.



Debbie said to those assembled “My son fought the terrorists over there so that we wouldn’t have to have them on our soil. I knew that he would be so disheartened if he knew that the next president coming in [Obama] would make a decision to bring these terrorists back to our soil.”

Watch your inbox for more updates and comments from Debra Burlingame, Lorraine Arias-Beliveau, Geraldine Davie, and Hamilton Peterson, all who lost family members in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Also please consider making a contribution to Move America Forward so that we can put our ad up on television and bring more Americans the message that Obama is risking our lives by bringing these dangerous terrorists to our shores and putting them in our federal courts system.

Chalk up one for the Good Guys!

The Associated Press: Judge rejects Obama bid to stall Gitmo trial
Judge rejects Obama bid to stall Gitmo trial

By MIKE MELIA and ANDREW O. SELSKY – 1 hour ago

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A military judge at Guantanamo on Thursday rejected a White House request to suspend a hearing for the alleged mastermind of the USS Cole bombing, creating an unexpected challenge for the administration as it reviews how America puts suspected terrorists on trial.

The judge, Army Col. James Pohl, said his decision was difficult but necessary to protect "the public interest in a speedy trial." The ruling came in the case against Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. The bombing of the Navy destroyer in 2000 in the harbor of Aden, Yemen, killed 17 U.S. sailors.

It seemed to take the Pentagon and White House by surprise.

"We just learned of the ruling ... and we are consulting with the Pentagon and the Department of Justice to explore our options in the case," said White Press secretary Robert Gibbs, adding that he doubted the decision would hamper the administration's ability to decide how to move forward from Guantanamo.

The Department of Defense is reviewing Judge Pohl's ruling, said Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon, a Pentagon spokesman.

Geoff Morrell, another Pentagon spokesman, told reporters that there were "no ifs, ands or buts" about adhering to the president's executive order and that there would "be no proceedings continuing down at Gitmo with military commissions."

"The bottom line is, we all work for the president of the United States in this chain of command, and he has signed an executive order which has made abundantly clear that until these reviews are done all of this is on hiatus," Morrell said.

President Barack Obama has ordered the detention center in Cuba to be closed within a year. The administration asked last week for a 120-day suspension in proceedings against some 20 detainees as it considers whether to continue trying alleged terrorists in the military commissions, revamp them or try suspects in other courts.

Obama signed an executive order directing Defense Secretary Robert Gates to ensure that "all proceedings of such military commissions to which charges have been referred but in which no judgment has been rendered ... are halted."

But Pohl wrote in his ruling that "on its face, the request to delay the arraignment is not reasonable."

The American Civil Liberties Union urged Gates to put a halt to the proceedings by withdrawing the charges against al-Nashiri.

"Judge Pohl's decision to move forward despite a clear statement from the president also raises questions about Secretary of Defense Gates — is he the 'new Gates' or is he the same old Gates under a new president?" ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said. "Secretary Gates has the power to stop the military commissions and ought to follow his new boss' directives."

The Cole's former commanding officer, retired Navy Cmdr. Kirk Lippold, said the case "needs to go forward" at Guantanamo. He said Pohl's ruling validated the war-crimes trials by demonstrating the independence of the military judges.

"The families involved want to see al-Nashiri held accountable for his heinous acts," Lippold said in an interview.

Navy Lt. Cmdr. Stephen Reyes, the Pentagon-appointed attorney for al-Nashiri, said the decision gives the Obama administration few options.

"The next step, if the government wants to halt the proceedings, is to withdraw the charges," Reyes said.

"Now it's in the government's hands," he said. "I have no idea what they're going to do."

Pohl is the chief judge at the tribunals at the U.S. Navy base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. At least two other judges have already granted the continuance sought by the president, with the defense and prosecution agreeing in both cases that they should be suspended.

Pohl noted that no substantive legal issues would be litigated at al-Nashiri's arraignment, scheduled for Feb. 9, meaning that "nothing will be mooted or necessary for relitigation" if Obama scraps the tribunals.

The war crimes court came to an abrupt halt Jan. 21 after two other military judges granted Obama's request for a suspension. His executive order came the following day in Washington.

Those cases were against a Canadian accused of killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan and five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks.

In all, war crimes charges are pending against 21 men at Guantanamo. Before Obama became president, the U.S. said it planned to try dozens of detainees in a system that was created by George W. Bush and Congress in 2006 and has faced repeated challenges.

MAF Goes to Gitmo



TERRORISTS LIVE IN LUXURY

AT GUANTANAMO BAY


American troops treat them better than

they are treated, while liberal politicians

keep demanding more rights for the accused



I am back home from my whirlwind tour to Guantanamo Bay to give thanks to our military men and women on duty there. We were honored to bring them new movies on DVD, Oreo cookies, Christmas and Hanukkah cards, MAF commemorative t-shirts and plenty of hugs. For the second year in a row Move America Forward was able to spend part of the Christmas holidays with our great military men and women. Last year it was almost two weeks in Iraq, and this year we were in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.



CAPTION: Posing with Kylie Williams, Debbie Lee and a fabulous Gitmo MP

It disturbed me to see how well the terrorists are being treated, and then have to put up with liberal politicians attacking our troops. As one of the soldiers said to me, "It makes us sick when people tell lies about what we do. We are proud to represent America and we do NOTHING to shame our command in chief or the American people." Well, we are more than happy to tell the truth to the American people, which is a job the mainstream media has largely neglected.

Please help Move America Forward tell the story of our U.S. troops to the American public. We need your financial support to keep going. Please click here:



The worst comment from an American politician came from Illinois U.S. Senator Dick Durbin. Here is what he said:

"If I ... didn't tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners [At Guantanamo] in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets In their gulags, or some mad regime, Pol Pot, or others that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners." (PBS' "The Newshour," 6/17/05)

In reality, the terrorists have better accommodations than our troops. They live in air conditioned state-of-the art new buildings; they have more recreation time than American school children; they get prayer rugs and Qurans, which no non-Muslim U.S. soldier can even touch. They get six different menus to choose from; among their offerings are Baked Tandouri Chicken Breast, Mustard-Dill Baked Fish, Lyonnaise Rice, and Fish Amandine. I don't remember seeing that on the menu at Nazi concentration camps or in Soviet gulags. I doubt Pol Pot offered them in the killing fields of Cambodia.



CAPTION: Liberal U.S. Senators Patrick Leahy and Richard Durbin
have been critical of U.S. troops at Guantanamo Bay.


Or, how about this comment in the Congressional Record by Vermont U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy:

"Now that may sound like an experience from some oppressive and authoritarian regime, something that may have happened under the Taliban, something that Saddam Hussein might have ordered or in the fiction of Kafka." (Congressional Record, 9/28/06, p. S10356)

It is just disgusting what some American politicians are willing to say to appeal to the far left anti-military crowd in the United States. When terrorists decided to smash their TV and the TV room because a Palmolive soap commercial came on that revealed a woman's arm, what do you think our response was? Yes, we got them a new flat screen TV - although this time it is encased in hard Plexiglas so they couldn't destroy it again. Let me put it to you this way: if you children destroyed your family TV because they were mad about something, how long would it take for you to buy them a new one? Or, is a better question, how long will it be before they turn 21 and can buy their own?






CAPTION: Here we are with some of our outstanding men and women
of the military. We will stand by them forever and proud and honored to do it.


Please help us to defend our American heroes at Guantanamo Bay, in Iraq and Afghanistan and across the globe. Please click here to help:



The talk we hear from President-elect Obama about closing Guantanamo is ridiculous. In addition to the detention facility, it plays an important part of refueling for the 4th Fleet and in drug interdiction. Instead of junketing around the world, some of these politicians should come down to Gitmo and see for themselves before they start spouting off. With all due respect, I would recommend President-Elect Obama cut his Hawaiian vacation short and head down to Gitmo to see and thank the troops himself before he decides to move some of the terrorist killers to our shores.

Even though we are only a day away from Christmas, many people still have not purchased their care packages for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We decided to keep packing and sending them throughout the rest of the month. So this will still give you an opportunity to say thank you to our troops during the holidays.

The goal of our nationwide tour was to travel across America and encourage Americans to sponsor care packages for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Please click here to sponsor care packages for our deserving troops:

Move America Forward and 12 Days of Christmas


As a special holiday treat Move America Forward will mark our 12 Days of Christmas by chronicling the gifts that American troops have given to us since the first days of our Great Country. Each day we will tell the story of that gift and why we must celebrate our troops.


“On the Eleventh Day of Christmas, Our Soldiers Gave to Us . . .





Safety from Terrorists !!!”

Following the brutal attacks of Sept.11, 2001, men and women marched down and signed up to protect America from her enemy: radical Muslim jihadists. It was the worst attack ever on American soil.

Americans from every corner of life stood up as one against the murderers who took 3,000 innocents that day. But as some Americans got tired of the war, our brave troops continued the fight to keep us safe. Even as politicians and others criticize our troops, claiming that the troops have lost the war in Iraq, our brave American men and women put their lives on the line to protect us.



Memorial for fallen buddies, our heroes

They do not forget. They have lived the worst: the war, thousands of miles away from home, and have seen their buddies give up their lives to protect our country. But our troops don't quit because true Americans aren't quitters. These military men and women are the best we have, and we at MAF will never forget.




Caption: Troops in Afghanistan remember the 9/11 attacks


Move America Forward marks the Days of Christmas by highlighting some of the gifts our soldiers, Marines, airmen, coasties, sailors have given us since the beginning of our great country.

The veterans of World War II and the Americans who worked to keep the country safe as Nazis and Imperialists plotted our overthrow are called "The Greatest Generation." This generation of troops, who have protected America and fought against radical Muslim Jihadists since that infamous day of Sept. 11, 2001, are "The Generous Generation of Selfless American Heroes."

American troops all volunteer. They give their lives to protect you and me. They sacrifice in extreme ways. So today, on the Eleventh Day of Christmas, MAF salutes them for their work keeping America safe from terrorists.

America's homeland has not been hit again since Osama bin Laden's maniacal murderers attacked on 9/11. We owe this safety to our troops and our intelligence services under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief.


SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

WITH A CARE PACKAGE FOR THE HOLIDAYS





Our men and women today, and during every war, have continued to defend our security. We have to continue to defend and support them. There is no better way than by sending a care package of goodies that they will really appreciate.

Most important, you can write your own personal note to an individual military man or woman in Iraq or Afghanistan. Your personal comments will go with the care package. Our troops can get lonely during the holidays. They are thousands of miles away from their families and their homes in America. Your personal note will lift their spirits during the holidays.






MAF has also produced a commemorative T-shirt for this year's tour. Theyare limited edition, so make sure to get yours now!! You can wear them and they will make a terrific Christmas gift for your loved ones.







To commemorate our 6th nationwide tour, Move America Forward has created a
