9/11 Victim Families: Obama Administration Sabotaging Trials | Washington Free Beacon
9/11 Victim Families:
Obama Administration Sabotaging Trials
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASEVictims of the 9/11 terror attacks expressed shock that the FBI may be meddling in the hearings here, and some speculated that it is part of an effort by the Obama administration to completely derail the hearings and force them into federal court stateside.
Families of those killed in the 9/11 terror attacks traveled here with the intent of watching their family members accused killers face justice.
However, many say they were horrified earlier this week when pre-trial hearings came to a halt over revelations that the FBI had launched an investigation into the accused terrorists defense lawyers.
These things dont just happen, said Donald Arias, whose brother Adam was killed in the attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. Im very suspicious of my government.
It wasnt just some rogue FBI agent, he told reporters Wednesday afternoon. This had to be approved at the highest levels within the FBI to do this.
They had to know this would have some effect on the proceedings here, Arias said. Were I a very suspicious person, some could even say that was done purposely to derail these hearing and force it back into federal court.
It looks like a well orchestrated snafu, added Lorraine Arias-Beliveau, Dons sister.
Other families expressed outrage and frustration that the death penalty trials for the accused have been delayed without an end in sight nearly 13 years after the attacks were carried out.
Theyre guilty. Lets try them fairly and then kill them, said Charlie Clyne, whose wife Susan was killed in Tower One.
Take them out to the Bronx Zoo, Clyne proposed, referring to the detainees as parasites. No, Im serious. Feed them to the lions, and this way well turn them back into the streaming piles of steaming shit that they have always been.
McGinly also said he was frustrated by the long delay in justice.
I would like you to give me these people and just walk them down my driveway, he said. Ill take care of them. Okay? Deep in my heart thats how I feel.
Judge James Pohl halted military proceedings on Tuesday so that defense lawyers could prepare a motion seeking further information into the FBIs purported efforts to turn one of their members into an informant.
The FBI is believed to be investigating whether the defense team improperly enabled the public release of writings by accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Those suspicions that the FBI investigation could be part of a bid to derail the hearings are well founded, just look back at the IRS [targeting of conservative groups], Benghazi, and everything else, said Bill McGinly, whose son Mark died on the 92nd floor of the World Trade Center.
Other victims agreed with this assessment and lashed out at reporters in the room for protecting the Obama administration.
I get a little bit disappointed in the press. I guess every time I read in the media, the real truth and the real things arent covered, said Gloria Snekszer, whose sister Vicky perished when Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon.
Theres always this political agenda that slants things which makes me a little hesitant to speak here today, said Snekszer, who had never before been to Gitmo. Im asking all of you in the press for the truth.
I agree with Dons suspicions, she said. The media, I have always felt, supports the things that I distrust about the government the most and Im a little bit concerned with the media itself.
We suffered a terrible loss, the country suffered a terrible loss, Snekszer said. For those of you who are Americans: Whose side are you on. Please print the truth.
For the FBI to launch an investigation knowing what the risks are and knowing the impact it would have on these hearings hear, its not pretty, added Arias.
Asked by reporters if they believed the Obama administration was intentionally meddling in the trials, McGinly said that his years-long ordeal has left him with little faith in the U.S. government.
