The chief judge in the Guantanamo war crimes tribunals, Army Colonel James Pohl, granted the delay for the alleged architect of the Sept. 11th attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and four co-defendants to avoid insulting Muslim sensitivities during the Muslim holy period of Ramadan.
Judge James Pohl
WAPO A U.S. military judge agreed Monday to postpone the next court hearings at the Guantanamo Bay prison for five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks. The judge issued a short order postponing the next pretrial hearings at the U.S. base in Cuba until Aug. 22-26 at the request of all five defendants, said James Connell, a lawyer for one of the accused.
The hearings had been scheduled to run from Aug. 8-12, which fall during the last 10 days of Ramadan, a period in which the Muslim savages fast during the day and pray during the night. That would make it difficult for the accused to participate in their defense, said Connell, a lawyer for Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali.
“It’s very difficult to pay attention to sometimes intricate legal proceedings when you haven’t had any sleep and you haven’t had any food,” Connell said.(And we should care about this because why?)
The judge, Army Col. James Pohl, denied a defense request not to hold any future hearings in the case on Fridays, a day on which many Muslims do not work and his order does not mention what will happen if future hearings fall during the month of Ramadan. The judge did not explain his decisions in the brief ruling.
Military prosecutors had opposed a defense motion to prohibit any hearings on Fridays or during Ramadan, saying to do so would eliminate about 20 percent of potential hearing dates from the calendar and make it difficult to schedule court sessions at the remote base.
I wonder if this means the judge will also cave to the NON-Muslim female attorney of one of the 9/11 trial defendants who is calling for all women (prosecutors & court staff) in the courtroom to wear “appropriate” Islam-approved clothing during proceedings out of respect for her client’s religious beliefs, as reported by Fox News.
Civilian defense attorney Cheryl Bormann wore a headbag (hijab) during Saturday’s arraignment hearing for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and his four co-defendants, and asked the court to order other women to do the same. She said the defendants’ Muslim beliefs cause them to have to avert their eyes “for fear of committing a sin under their faith” when they see a woman who is not covered up.
FOX interviews Lady Hijab. Then Debra Burlingame, whose brother was one of the 9/11 pilots, explains how these terrorists are playing the court and doing all they can to disrupt the proceedings to show their contempt for our system.
This defies all description. The savages could care less about the rights of their victims and yet they can control all aspects of their trial with their incessant and inappropriate demands. Why not let them be the judge, the lawyers and so on. These are demands that they are not entitled to but will get because they demand to be above even the law and we allow it. What BS.
Exactly! Why not set them free, give them a parade and hold them up as examples of what all Americans should aspire to be. Oh, that sounds like what the Muslim-In-Chief Obama wnts.
Not bs…generosity of a civilized people…AMERICANS.
I would just as soon not be so generous to these murderous bastards. Let them have the same amount of generosity as they gave the guy pictured in his 100+ story free fall to escape dying in flames. I would no more respect their pagan holiday rites then they would respect a bar mitzva or a first communion.
They have just played a stupid judge again.
Don’t that just make you proud ?
Generosity of a civilized people…AMERICANS.
Not bad for the so called Great Satan
Doesn’t say a lot for these shit bags in sandals and their politically correct mates.
Dangle them from a boat and let the sharks send them to paradise…..a little bit at a time….A fitting end to these neanderthals… My apologies to the Neanderthals…
No it does not, being that we now have a filthy muslim pretending to be some one’s pResident, it makes perfect sense to me, once a traitor of humanity, always a traitor. I long for the day they telivise the hanging of these cockroaches, brings out the devil-dog side of me every time. oooooorah Semper Fi
Is the bitch related to Martin Bormann?
WTF this judge has no balls. Us Christians are getting shit on by our own people.
What a great. Nobody cares about us citizens, only baghead terriots. This judge is a typical 2 face phony liberal
Sorry I was in a hurry. What a great country
It’s mind boggling that looking at a woman who isn’t dressed like a Hefty bag is a sin, but jamming a pound of c4 explosive up your bunghole and blowing up/murdering innocent people is ok with your sick, pathetic, non-existent “god”.
You got to be ef-in kidding me! Oh, yah, that’s going to help make those filthy bastard animals more cooperative by respecting their religion. A religion that IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MURDERING 3000 AMERICANS! A religion that IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MURDERING OR ATTEMPTING TO MURDER PEOPLES ALL AROUND THE WORLD EVERY DAY! a religion that IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MURDERING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY! a religion that DIVINELY SANCTIONS SEX WITH CHILD GIRLS. a religion that IS INTOLERANT OF ALL THAT IS non muslim, THAT IS IN CONTRADICTION TO shariah . A religion that STATES EVERYDAY THAT IT WILL DESTROY US. Oh yah, that’s all going to change by being “sensitive” to their religious needS.
Wwhat fools we are, what an ignorant man that presiding judge is. IDIOT!
Forget that trial. Take there ugly asses out to some place remote and exterminate them. Better yet, how about a public execution. THAT, After FIRST shoving their faces into pig ass. There would be no ahortage of volunteers willing to do the deed of eliminating the SOBs.
Quite right but a better fate for these kind of low life’s would be to have them executed then minced, bagged and sent as feed to the local pig farm…..
The judge is no fool. He’s bending over backwards to show the world these merciless killers are being afforded a fair trial by a CIVILIZED NATIONS that has been wronged by them.
Americans are not vengeful, but they believe in justice and the equal application of law…unlike these 7th century retards who hate women and ‘others’ because of words of a pedophile highwayman.
Per1, that is one of the dumbest things you’ve ever said.
I agree BNI ! I’m an American and I’m mucho vengeful ! And I don’t think for a mili-second that I’m alone. it’s thinking “Fair and non-prejudiced and non-vengeful” that lets these inbred bastards get the upper hand in all their supposed negotiations. They’re not negotiating, they’re demanding. And the stupid, liberal, sob driven jerks like this judge are giving in to them again.
Vengeful what? Me, vengeful not in the least, Just make sure all mohommedists on the planet are absolutely gone, destroyed, dead never to be heard from again. Just like it says in prophecy. And I will be a happy man. PS, I don’t hold a grudge either.
You need to have your friggin head examined, fuck those animals and fuck that coward so called judge. I think the judge should be fired for him allowing that whore defense attorney tell everyone to sympathize them for their beliefes.
The lawyer made a fool of herself.
Colonel pohl should be ashamed of himself. This whole trial is a political stunt and the SENSITIVITIES of the MUSLIMS SHOULD BE IGNORED. way too much money hss been spent on these guys and whoever leaked the waterboarding should be ashamed. these fools should have been quietly disposed of years ago. That’s my opinion.
i better stop because i’m about to use feally foul language
bleep bleep f— bleep bleep bleep BURN IN HELL
What they need to do is contact Cuban farmers nearby and bring in a dozen pigs to put them in the cells with these characters and remind them that they will be shot with bullets greased in bacon. Give them daily beatings.
To Hell with them, their ‘religion’ and sensitivity to & respect therefore! To Hell with the traitors who left them alive after capturing them. Terrorists do not need trials, they need swift summary executions. Hog tie them, airdrop them into the holding tank of the nearest hog farm.
Imprisoned terrorists are hostage bait: an incentive for Muslims to abduct and torture Americans.
Few are aware of the fact that the five Goddamn AssWholes signed a confession in which they took pride and pleasure in being selected by Satan to serve him in the Goddamn Abomination which was an Islamic act of worship! They said that it was their duty to wage war on us ‘cuz we ain’t Goddamn Muslims!

Bonnie, this document is up at Scribid. I have grabbed the embed code and will insert it here though I doubt that it will work in a comment. I want you to create a new post and embed the confession in it because the public needs to see this.
Here is the url to the document, the embed code is available in the right sidebar.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s Opening Statement?
I’m sorry I can’t comment. Words fail me
I wish someone would shave that beard off.
Surely it is a security hazard, you could hide a Howitzer in there!
Americans are beyond mericiful! They have become stupid! A judge or layer wearing to head bag to apease the enemy? They should be shot for betraying America!!!!This politically correct BS has gone far enough! You come to America they assimilate and if they can’t leave,please! We do not have to apease and cater to your muslim cult!Those animals at Gitmo should all be dead, and years ago !!!
I think they should give them a REAL fast…nothing to eat or drink for the entire month of Ramadan. Then whoever is left can be tried.
I am sick and tired of this sensitivities of the Muslims fiasco. When are we going to recognize the screaming fact that Islam is our #1 vicious enemy and deal with it as such??!!
Does anyone have the “judge’s” contact info?
BNI, have you ever heard of, or read about a prisoner on a hunger strike who still had to face his/her trial?
I am sure that there are people in American prisons who for whatever reason decide to hunger strike as a protest to their arrest, but who await trial and actually go to trial as the law demands on the date a trial is set.
I don’t think the government stops a trial from going forward all because a person has elected to starve themselves rendering the person on the hunger strike at a disadvantage.
If this were the case, how many prisoners would use this tactic to postpone their court dates?
This is special treatment, this is about laws being bent to accomodate a special class of people, while everyone else must follow the rule of law.
This is what is happening all over this country. Laws that are on the books which are meant to be followed so that everyone has equal protection under them are being circumvented.
Why bother to follow any law, if law breakers, a special class, minority, Muslim, whatever, are getting away with murder by not having to follow the same precripts of our laws?
Of course, the next step is that they will be trying to get all charges dismissed because they were denied a speedy trial.
These Pig/Dogs should have their heads and faces shaved to show who is in charge..And any outburst in court will be dealt with by duck taping their mouths or removal from the court room or both as would happen in any US court…Col. James Pohl you Sir have lost your honor..
I think we should help them with their fasting by feeding them only bread and water at midnight. The res
te of the time, they can be wafted the aroma of bacon on the griddle, pork chops in a skillet and fish frying in deep, hot lard.
I’m sure their god*, Alley will appreciate their added suffering and throw in a couple more virgins.
* small letters intentional
I have the same kind of respect for these muslime pukes, their dhimmi dumbass lawyer, AND the judge that gave them a recess and holiday! That would be the kind of “respect” a male dog has for his favorite tree!! Piss be upon them all!!
Army Col. James Pohl How can you allow this?? We do not have to respect Ramadan, as Moslims do not RESPECT anything or any LAW. Boms in New York 9/11, London, Madrid, Bali 2 x.
OBAMA wanted to close QUANTANAMO BAY?? Crazy!!
I still expect Obama to grant full pardons after the election when he has more flexibility.
