Acting SG Defended bin laden Driver

The acting Solicitor General of the United States is the scumbag who volunteered to serve as legal counsel for osama bin laden’s driver. It just gets more surreal as our own president brings into our government, representatives of the islamic jihadists who are waging war against us. Barack Hussein Obama continues to get away with waging war against America.

Acting U.S. Solicitor General Represented Osama Bin Laden’s Driver; Denied That Battle Against Terrorism Is A War

By Fred Lucas, Staff Writer, CNS News

(CNSNews.com) – Neal Katyal, who became the acting U.S. solicitor general when Elena Kagan was nominated to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, previously served as the legal counsel of record for the man who worked as Osama bin Laden’s driver from February 1996 through November 2001.

Salim Ahmed Hamdan, who underwent training at an al Qaeda camp, was charged with transporting weapons to al Qaeda operatives.
The Hamden case culminated in the 2006 Supreme Court ruling that said the Bush administration’s military tribunals violated U.S. law and international conventions.
In one brief in the Hamden case, Katyal argued that the war on terrorism is not really a war. “That ‘war’ manifestly is not a war in any sense of the term against any nation state or indeed against any well defined enemy,” the brief said.
Debra Burlingame, a co-founder of the national security advocacy group Keep America Safe, said Katyal’s comments on terrorism are significant because they show Katyal doesn’t believe we are really in a war. “That message is not lost on the people we are trying to fight,” Burlingame told CNSNews.com.
Burlingame is the sister of Charles F. Burlingame III, the pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. She became an activist for tougher policy in the war on terror as the co-founder of “9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America” and as a director of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum Foundation at the World Trade Center.
Katyal is one of nine attorneys in the Justice Department who previously represented a Guantanamo detainee. That’s the bigger problem, Burlingame said.
