We have seen for years the fallacy of political correctness (PC). While ideally to be applied consistently and fair it's application has been repeatedly cherry-picked.
For example, the ACLU only shows enthusiasm for progressive PC causes and now PC efforts abruptly stop when conservative women are under attack. And the misuse continues under this administration.
The massacre at Fort Hood was an obvious Islamic terrorist act yet Obama and his dutiful fifth column media sugar-coated it as merely a generic tragedy perpetrated by a deranged Army officer.
And now Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of 9/11, and four other accused men are invited to our shores.
A low-key military tribunal would have sufficed for these enemy combatants. But to impress the world with this administration's PC, we will have to endure a political circus event.
We taxpayers get to donate minimally $70 million for added security, Khalid will get a worldwide audience to hype the virtues of Jihad, potential secret intelligence information may unfold, and from a judicial perspective will his attorney be able to seek an acquittal on the basis of harsh prior interrogation methods, questionable jury impartiality and a prejudgment of guilt expounded by both Obama and Eric Holder?
