Have you ever wondered how our past Presidents would have dealt with radical islamofascist terrorists? We know how President Reagan handled them--he bombed the hell out of them--but what about 60 years ago (when, like today, we were engaged in a conflict with fascism)? Mark Levin shared this story on his show last night and it really struck me. Levin, a highly respected constitutional lawyer, addressed the "myth that we're hearing out of the justice dept and others that it is an American tradition and a constitutional requirement that we try these terrorists in civilian court". Listen along as he destroys this myth: here.
"On June 19 [1942] the President received an excited call from Francis Biddle, his attorney general. Six days before, Biddle told the President, "at 1:30 A.M. an unarmed Coast Guard patrolman near Amagansett, Montauk Point, Long Island, discovered two men placing material in a hole they had dug; one of them covered the patrolman with a gun, gave him $260 and told him to keep his mouth shut. I shall, of course, keep you informed." As J. Edgar Hoover's nominal boss, Biddle later recalled the FBI chief's demeanor while describing the plan to track down the rest of the saboteurs: "His eyes were bright, his jaw set, excitement flickering around the edge of his nostrils," Biddle remembered. The question now was how much to tell the public. Hoover wanted no announcement that might alert the men still at large. The President agreed, and the press was, for the moment, frozen out of the story.
FDR's longstanding preoccupation with sabotage now seemed validated. Biddle admitted, "1 had a bad week trying to sleep as I thought of the possibilities. The saboteurs might have other caches hidden, and at any moment an explosion was possible." [Saboteur] Dasch had, in fact, revealed that, along with their transportation and industrial targets, the Pastorius mission was supposed to spread terror by placing firebombs in department stores and delayed-action explosives in hotels and in crowded railroad stations..............."
There was once a time in America when men were men and our leaders weren't blinded and crippled by political correctness.
