Conservative Blogger: Be Careful What You Wish For...
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, accused organizer and mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, stood in a courtroom today and told a military judge in a Guantanamo Bay courtroom that he wants the death penalty for his crimes--so he can be martyred.
All five also rejected representation by the team of lawyers assigned to defend them, saying they recognized only Islamic law.
Mohammed also said he wanted to be martyred.
The judge, Marine Col. Ralph Kohlmann, asked Mohammed numerous times whether he understood that he faces the death penalty.
"That is what I wish. I wish to be martyred," he said.
If that's what this son of a bitch wants then, I say:
Grant.
Him.
His.
Wish.
If he desires to meet Allah so badly, then I'd love for us to arrange the meeting for him and his four other co-defendants. It's what they deserve for the murder of over 3000 people.
Will it make them martyrs? Probably. Anything other than their release to freedom makes the martyrs to their al Qaeda bretheren and their radical Islamofacist beliefs. We can't be concerned about how this is going to play with radical Muslims. We need to be concerned with justice being served. Period.
The world will be a much better place without these five pieces of sub-human flotsam.
Grant their wish.
