At noon today, 911NeverForget.Us launched a coalition effort against bringing 9/11’s war criminals into federal court. America’s enemies do not have Constitutional rights. Unlawful enemy combatants defy the Geneva Conventions and deserve neither civilian trials nor a propaganda platform a mere 6 blocks from where they slaughtered our loved ones.
In order of appearance, the speakers today were: Debra Burlingame, co-founder 9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America; Congressman Peter King (R-NY); Andrew C. McCarthy, former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York and prosecutor in the trial of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing; Tim Brown, founder TheBravest.com; and FDNY firefighter Pete Regan, a Marine veteran of two tours of Iraq and the son of 9/11 FDNY firefighter Donald Regan, of Rescue 3.
Here is the audio of the press conference:
