Quote:
The Pentagon announced today that it has charged six detainees at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, military prison with conspiring to carry out the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and that military prosecutors will seek the death penalty for each.
...
The charges come nearly 6 1/2 years after 19 hijackers belonging to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terrorist network seized four U.S. airliners and used them to attack the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people. Two airliners hit the trade center's twin towers, one slammed into the Pentagon and the fourth went down in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers assaulted the hijackers in an attempt to gain control of the aircraft.

I was never a proponent of the death penalty. But if they do go through with this, it will do America more harm than good ... martyrdom for these "Al-Qaeda 6," anyone?
Looks like Bush is itching to execute these guys before he relinquishes his seat to liberals ... reminds me of his last days as the Texan governor.
We have found another hot button issue for the elections...
