Obama’s Terror Trial Troubles: Blood-Soaked Liberals On Thin Ice
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 12:20PM 
Khalid Sheik Mohammed, at the center of bosses' NYC show-trial controversyThe furor over where and how to try the 9/11 attack ringleaders stems from both Obama-vs.-Bush partisan fighting and Obama’s concern for preserving his liberal cover. The Obama regime wants to maintain the fiction of “the rule of law” in place of the reality of capitalists ruling workers. Ideally, Obama would like an open civil show trial in media-capital Manhattan. But it’s not just the openly fascist Bush-Cheney camp’s demands for secret military proceedings that hinder Obama.
The liberal, imperialist wing of U.S. capitalists, exemplified by the Rockefeller-led Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), worries that a public trial may blow the lid off Obama’s continuing “anti-terrorist” torture and murder, making it more obvious. Warning against open court in New York, the CFR writes (2/5/10) that 9/11 mastermind’s Khalid Sheik “Mohammed’s lawyers have significant legal grounds to challenge the evidence against him and its means of extraction.”
Obama’s current “justice” for U.S. foes keeps the Guantanamo hellhole open while favoring assassinations by Special Forces and unmanned Drones that tend to wipe out innocent Afghans. On February 14, in a Valentine’s Day Massacre, one of Obama’s “anti-Taliban” rockets incinerated 12 Afghan civilians. Liberals like NYC Mayor Bloomberg and NY Senator Schumer protesting that NYC trials would “disrupt commerce” are, in fact, following the CFR’s line against spotlighting liberal-sponsored U.S. terror.
