Wake up America. The Muslim from three continents, currently residing in the White House, has just taken steps to bring jihad to your doorstep. Time to break the trance and realize how your safety and the security of your family is being compromised. Jeff Mazzella, President for the Center for Individual Freedom has the details.
President Obama just moved the first Gitmo detainee, Ahmed Ghailani, to New York City.
According to the New York Daily News, the danger this one move poses goes "beyond the prison walls, threatening the lower Manhattan neighborhood once dwarfed by the World Trade Center."
The Daily News goes on to quote Congressman Peter King of New York:
"'We're already the No. 1 terrorist target,' said Rep. Pete King (R-L.I.). 'This just makes us more of a target. It's an unnecessary risk to impose on New York.'"
According to the widely read Internet blog RedState.com:
"Ghailani's transfer to New York [for] trial is an important first step in the implementation [of] President Obama's decision to close the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay even though we still haven't been told where Obama will put the terrorists when he closes Gitmo."
And make no mistake, Ahmed Ghailani won't be the last terrorist released onto American soil.
If, as Congressman King says, the release of just one terrorist into a secured facility on U.S. soil poses a grave danger... imagine what would happen if hundreds of terrorists are released onto U.S. soil... imagine what what happen if some rogue judge released one of these terrorists on a legal technicality.
Despite what he may say, Barack Obama cannot guarantee that these hardened terrorists will not be released into your community.
Congressman Lamar Smith recently addressed this very point:
"Closing Guantanamo Bay presents a clear and present danger to all Americans. These suspected terrorists must now be relocated and if they are transferred to military prisons in the U.S., they automatically will be granted rights far beyond those given to enemy combatants by any other country.
"The result is that many will petition friendly federal judges who may order their release into U.S. communities."
That's why House Republicans, led by Smith, introduced legislation to prohibit federal courts from ordering the release or transfer of Gitmo detainees into the United States.
But Smith's legislation, The Enemy Combatant Detention Review Act (H.R. 630), which establishes clear rules regarding the detention of known terrorists, has been sitting -- or rather dying -- in conference committee for months.
It's time to demand that our elected officials in the House and the Senate stop talking the talk and start walking the walk.
It's time to tell them that's it's not enough to simply talk about keeping innocent Americans safe. It's time to tell them to do something about it.
And they can start by putting HR 630 onto the floor of the House and the Senate and passing it. They can make it a priority. They can do it today.
