How's our new senator Scott Brown doin . . . . here he is explaining to 'good ole JOE' how to try a terrorist



Sen. Scott Brown thinks Vice President Joe Biden was “off base” when he suggested Sunday that the Massachusetts Republican get his facts straight on the legal procedures for military tribunals.

“It was insulting,” said Brown, who frequently jabbed the
administration during his Senate campaign for giving suspected
terrorists legal representation.

On CBS's “Face the Nation” last weekend, Biden shot back that he
doesn’t “know whether the new senator from Massachusetts understands:
When you get tried in a military tribunal, you get a lawyer, too.”

“He’s trying to give me a lesson on military law, and I didn’t think it
was appropriate,” Brown told POLITICO. “And I thought he was off base
when it comes to explaining to the American people that somehow I need
a lesson on whether people get attorneys — of course they get
attorneys. There’s a difference as to what type of attorney they’re
going to get and when they’re going to get that attorney, and how are
they treated, and what rights do they, in fact, get.”

Brown said he is particularly incensed by Biden’s remarks because he’s
served in the Massachusetts Army National Guard for more than 30 years
and is currently the Guard's top defense attorney in New England.

“I know the military rules and regulations and procedures from A to Z,” Brown said.

Brown said he was spending time with his younger daughter, Arianna, who
was home from Syracuse University, Sunday when he learned that Biden
had taken a swing at him.

“I was actually surprised,” said Brown. When Biden swore him into
office they had a nice chat, Brown said, and the vice president told
him he could visit the vice presidential residence.
“I would have thought that he would have reached out personally rather than go through the media,” Brown said. “I’m not quite sure what the
message to me was, but I felt that it was important enough to respond.”


Biden's comments came as part of the White House's effort to defend its
move to try alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a
federal court, as well as the decision to read Miranda rights to the
accused Christmas Day bomber.

Brown pushed back Monday on one of the White House's talking points
about the handling of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab: that the Bush
administration handled Richard Reid, the so-called shoe bomber, in the
same way.

“I’ve always felt that suspected terrorists should be tried in military
tribunals and not civilian court, and as a matter of fact so do the
majority of Americans,” Brown said. “The big difference is are we going
to pay $1,000 an hour for a private attorney and treat him as a
civilian or ordinary criminal in a criminal court, or are we going give
him a military attorney who’s going to be paid as a captain, major or
lieutenant colonel, and obviously go through the military tribunal
process?”

Typical of this administration. They attack and try to intimidate ANYONE who they think stands in their way. More of their "playground bully tactics" or "mob style tactics" take your pick....both are absolutely a disgrace to the office of the presidency. We must remove the "wannabe dictators" in the next elections.
