Americans Outraged Over Obama Admin. Treating 9/11 Like Criminal Matter, Nearly 100,000 Sign Letter Opposing Civilian Trials For 9/11 Mastermind

The decision by the Obama Administration to put the well-being of terrorists above the security of Americans has outraged 9/11 family members, retired military, New York officials and concerned citizens nationwide.

All ignored by the Obama Lapdog Media, I might add.

Tim Brown, a retired New York firefighter who was at the World Trade Center on 9/11, posted a letter (in coordination with 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America and Keep America Safe) which, after yesterday, has now received almost 100,000 signatures.

He writes, at The Bravest:
Recently, Congress voted down a bi-partisan bill that would have ensured that the terrorists who brought death and destruction to our homeland on September 11, 2001 would be tried as war criminals in military courts, not as common criminals tried in civilian courts with full Constitutional protections on American soil. The Obama administration has not been truthful with the public about the risks associated with bringing these cases in federal court, where critical evidence will be excluded, classified intelligence will be made available to our enemies, foreign counterterrorism partners will be exposed and the "mastermind of 9/11" will be allowed to mock his victims just blocks from where they died.

theBravest.com has partnered with 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong and America and Keep America Safe to bring attention to this travesty. We are recruiting the families & friends of the FDNY to combat this ill-conceived policy of the current administration.

This week letters were sent to President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates questioning the wisdom of bringing these terrorists onto US soil to try them in civilian courts for their grievous crimes against this great country, including the murder of 343 New York City firefighters.

93 of them were my friends.

They were all my brothers.

I cannot stand by and let this happen without a fight.

As big and as good as the Tea Parties have been, I think this matter alone should cause a bigger march on Washington DC. We cannot have financial security or the blessings of liberty if we do not have a nation secure from hostile enemies who wish this nation harm, like they did on 9/11. Despite what the liberals say, this is not a "right or left" issue. It is a survival issue which crosses party lines and affects all Americans.
