Obama Frees Terrorist

Maybe this is why Obama didn't complain too loudly when the Scots released a Lockerbie bomber. On July 30, a federal judge decided there wasn't enough "legal evidence" to hold Mohammad Jawad and Obama decided not to appeal. Instead, he let the terrorist go back to Afghanistan to kill more American soldiers. The four common sense members of the Supreme Court were right when the Boumediene decision came down in 2008:

“Today the Court warps our Constitution … It breaks a chain of precedent as old as the common law that prohibits judicial inquiry into detentions of aliens abroad absent statutory authorization. And, most tragically, it sets our military commanders the impossible task of proving in a civilian court, under whatever standards this Court devises in the future, that evidence supports the confinement of each and every enemy prisoner…. The Nation will live to regret what the Court has done today.”
