Army Ranger gets 25 Years for Killing Al-Qaeda Operative



Yet another travesty of justice agai
nst our brave men and women fighting everyday in the war on terror. A crucial forensic witness was not allowed to testify because he would have cooberated the Army Ranger's testimony. This is outrageous and needs to be righted. Please read below, sign the petition and do whatever else you can to assist. Thanks.

In May 2008, a known member of an Al QAEDA cell, Ali Mansur, was suspected of having organized an attack on the young Army Ranger's platoon, which killed two U.S. soldiers and injured two more under Lt. Behenna's command. For some unfathomable reason, Army intelligence ordered that Mansur be released and ordered Lt. Behenna, who was then 24, to escort the terrorist to his home.

 On the way, Behenna questioned Mansur in an effort to learn additional information about other members of the terrorist cell, as well as who was financing it. During the interrogation, Mansur attacked Lt. Behenna, who killed the terrorist in self-defense.

 The government cast Mansur as the "victim" and prosecuted Lt. Behenna for premeditated murder!

 The following timeline was taken, in part, from the website that has been established in support of Lt. Behenna -- Defendmichael.com -- and confirmed by his mother, Vicki.

On February 23, 2009, Behenna went on trial. During the trial:

 The government argued that Behenna executed Mansur while he was sitting on a rock, while Behenna said that he shot in self defense after Mansur stood up and tried to reach for the Lieutenant's gun during the interrogation.

 A government expert, an Iraqi doctor who performed the autopsy, said that the bullets had a horizontal trajectory, suggesting a direct confrontation and not a scenario in which a defenseless Mansur sat helplessly on a rock while a standing Behenna shot him at a downward angle. In fact, both government and defense experts agreed on the trajectory of the bullets that killed Mansur.

 In short order, the prosecution decided not to call to the stand another government expert, Dr. Herbert MacDonnell, but instead sent him home. But not before Dr. MacDonell told Behenna's defense attorney that he would have been a good witness for the defense.

 While Dr. MacDonnell was picking up his coat in the prosecution room on his way out of the courthouse, he told the three prosecutors: "The explanation that Lt Behenna just testified to was the exact same scenario I told you yesterday. Lt Behenna is telling the truth."

 Referring to Dr. MacDonnell's statement that he would have been a good witness, the defense counsel, Jack Zimmermann, asked the prosecutors if they had any exculpatory evidence that should be provided to the defense. (This is evidence favorable to the defendant in a criminal trial, which clears or tends to clear the defendant of guilt.) But the prosecutors denied having any such evidence despite having been told by their own expert witness that Lt Behenna's explanation was the only logical explanation of the events that had transpired.

 Because this evidence was withheld, the prosecutors were able to argue that Lt. Behenna executed Ali Mansur while the "victim" was seated on a rock -- in spite of the testimony of forensic experts, including Dr. MacDonnell, who agreed that Mansur was standing with his arms outstretched when he was shot.

 On February 27, 2009, Lt. Behenna was convicted of unpremeditated murder and assault by a military panel of seven officers -- none of whom were combat arms.

Following the trial, Dr. MacDonnell contacted the prosecutors again, asking that the information he provided them be given to the defense. After Dr. MacDonnell's e-mail was provided to the defense counsel, Mr. Zimmermann moved for a mistrial.

 

Judge Theodore E. Dixon promptly ordered both sides in the case to file briefs relating to a possible mistrial, and, after reading the briefs, set a date for an additional hearing and ordered additional briefs, including one from the defense requesting a new trial.

 But on March 20, Judge Dixon denied the defense motions to declare a mistrial and to order a new trial and sentenced Lt. Behenna to serve 25 years in Leavenworth penitentiary.

 Lt. Behenna's attorneys are appealing the verdict. It is Vicki Behenna's understanding that the General of the 101st Airborne will review Michael's case in the next several weeks, in which case he can set aside the findings of guilt, order a new trial, or reduce Michael's sentence. After the General's decision, Michael's case will be docketed in the appellate court, a process that can take from one-to-three years for the appeal to be heard.

 The Behennas and their many supporters have mobilized to help Michael and they urge everyone to contact his or her elected official to make sure that justice is done. And because the government has limitless resources but they don't, they've established a Legal Defense Fund to help their efforts.

An IMPORTANT Message from A friend and Retired Marine! Semper Fi

The greatest glory of a free-born people is to transmit that freedom to their children. -William Havard

Today, true and free Americans are called upon, just as our Forefathers have been through the generations to stand for freedom and resist tyranny so that we can pass this freedom on to our children and our grand children. Today this tyranny does not come from King George, Hitler, Emperor To-Jo, or any other outside danger, even though we are at war against an evil foe called Radical Islam. I believe the danger we face today is far more dangerous than even Global Jihad, for it is inside our very country and is being unleashed on us by our very own countrymen. ....

This danger, this threat, is in our entertainment industry, it's in our schools, our universities and as the last campaign showed us, it is even in our churches. It comes in a single word called "change". The change the enemy of America seeks is to take America away from her roots, to deny our creator, to deny the words, vision, and ideals and principles that have made America the greatest, freest, and most prosperous nation on earth. They believe our Constitution and freedom is outdated and no longer applies.. They are not Americans, they are GLOBALIST and teach our children that nationalism and American pride is wrong. They teach our young people (even though we have sacrificed our own lives by the hundreds of thousands so that others could be free) we are bad, that we deserved 911, and that everything wrong in the world is OUR fault. My Friends, this threat that comes from within our very own borders and from our very own President, if left unchecked will indeed destroy this great and wonderful nation we know and love. ....

This change they seek is to change America from a free people with a Govt, OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, and FOR THE PEOPLE, to one where the govt can tell you how to live your life. They will tell you where you can send your children to school. Tell what you can teach and preach in your churches and pulpits. Tell you what you can drive, how to heat your homes. They will dictate your health care and even someday decide who lives and dies. Also as we have seen by how they treated "Joe The Plumber", and Miss California they want to control your thought and your speech. They are statist, and they WILL take your liberties and your freedoms in nearly every area of your life if you sit by and do nothing. 

Ladies and Gentlemen,, they must be stopped. This is OUR country. The Govt WORKS FOR US and we must NEVER let them forget. We CAN NOT and MUST NOT sell out our birthright for the bowl of porridge the govt is now offering us. Times may be difficult, but throughout our history Americans have faced tough times, and we have come together and pulled through... AS A FREE PEOPLE. America's strength is in HER PEOPLE, not in he govt.. 


The 4th of July is only a few months away. There will be Tea Parties and many other ways you can RESIST the "change" that will take away our sovereignty and our freedom. Stand up my fellow Americans and be heard. Call your Senators and Congressmen, write letters to your news paper, challenge your teachers and professors. We have a First Amendment... USE IT!!!!! If we are going to pass the freedoms that have come at such a high price on to the next generation, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT FOR IT!!!!! (against ALL enemies foreign and DOMESTIC)

My Humblest Regards, and Best Wishes to My Fellow Americans,

Lets Discuss more History Then and Now Democratic Racism...



First it was Slavery and the KKK and then Planned Parenthood and still Planned Parenthood plays a huge roll in the Democratic Party. This leads me to discuss Margret Sanger. Whom I might add Hilary Clinton is in awe of. Um excuse me? What? In awe of what exactly? Hilary Clinton is Representative of the Democratic Party. 

But, lets see what it is exactly she said about Margaret Sanger. 

Hilary Clinton:


“I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision… when I think about what she did all those years ago in Brooklyn, taking on archetypes, taking on attitudes and accusations flowing from all directions, I am really in awe of her….”

Hmmm,  really Hilary?  Lets see what Margaret Sanger said.. Here are a few quotes:

Margaret Sanger:

On blacks, immigrants and indigents:
“…human weeds,’ ‘reckless breeders,’ ’spawning… human beings who never should have been born.”  Margaret Sanger,
Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and poor people

On sterilization & racial purification:
Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial “purification,” couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization. 
Birth Control in America, The Career of Margaret Sanger, by David Kennedy, p. 117, quoting a 1923 Sanger speech.

On the right of married couples to bear children:
Couples should be required to submit applications to have a child, she wrote in her “Plan for Peace.” 
Birth Control Review, April 1932

On the purpose of birth control:
The purpose in promoting birth control was “to create a race of thoroughbreds,” she wrote in the
 Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921 (p. 2)

On the rights of the handicapped and mentally ill, and racial minorities:
“More children from the fit, less from the unfit — that is the chief aim of birth control.” 
Birth Control Review, May 1919, p. 12

On the extermination of blacks:
“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,” she said, “if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” 
Woman’s Body, Woman’s Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America, by Linda Gordon

On respecting the rights of the mentally ill:
In her “Plan for Peace,” Sanger outlined her strategy for eradication of those she deemed “feebleminded.” Among the steps included in her evil scheme were immigration restrictions; compulsory sterilization; segregation to a lifetime of farm work; etc. 
Birth Control Review, April 1932, p. 107

On adultery:
A woman’s physical satisfaction was more important than any marriage vow, Sanger believed. 
Birth Control in America, p. 11

On marital sex:
“The marriage bed is the most degenerating influence in the social order,” Sanger said. (p. 23) [Quite the opposite of God’s view on the matter: “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” (Hebrews 13:4)

On abortion:
“Criminal’ abortions arise from a perverted sex relationship under the stress of economic necessity, and their greatest frequency is among married women.”
The Woman Rebel - No Gods, No Masters, May 1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.

On the YMCA and YWCA:
“…brothels of the Spirit and morgues of Freedom!”), 
The Woman Rebel - No Gods, No Masters, May 1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.

On the Catholic Church’s view of contraception:
“…enforce SUBJUGATION by TURNING WOMAN INTO A MERE INCUBATOR.” 
The Woman Rebel - No Gods, No Masters, May 1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.

On Family Planning:
“The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” Margaret Sanger, Women and the New Race (Eugenics Publ. Co., 1920, 1923)

This is just the start of Hilary's hero that she is so in awe of and I quote: 

“Margaret Sanger’s Work is Not Done”

REAL nice Hilary.... I just don't get it? Why do people deny the facts? Planned Parenthood was started to get rid of the "undesirables" in society according to Sangers beliefs! And Clinton is in "awe" of her? Obama supports Planned Parenthood when a big part of their creation was to KILL NEGRO baby's?????? Here are some more facts for you... 

In America today, almost as many African-American children

are aborted as are born.

A black baby is three times more likely to be

murdered in the womb than a white baby.

Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent.

Twice as many African-Americans have died from abortion than have died from

AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease combined.

Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than

have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history.

Planned Parenthood operates the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics and

almost 80 percent of its facilities are located in minority neighborhoods.

About 13 percent of American women are black, but they

submit to over 35 percent of the abortions.

Between 1882 and 1968, 3,446 Blacks were lynched in the U.S. That number is surpassed in less than 3 days by abortion.

1,452 African-American children are killed each day by the heinous act of abortion.

3 out of 5 pregnant African-American women will abort their child.

Since 1973 there has been over 13 million Black children killed and their precious mothers victimized by the U.S. abortion industry.

So knowing just this little bit of information, how can so many blacks let alone CHRISTAINS be Democrats? How can Obama support Planned Parenthood? 

More Facts on Margret Sanger

You can't really believe that Planned Parenthood does not stand for the same Principles as it did when it was started by Sanger. They have had years to smooth out their rough edges and pretend to be a woman's best friend. My experience with Planned Parenthood was this. I was pregnant with my oldest daughter and went to a Planned Parenthood to get a pregnancy test. I was 20 yrs old. When they came back into the room with my results.... The first thing out of the lady's mouth was... "Your test is positive". "Do you want to abort it?" I looked at her in dismay... "Do I want to what!?" "NO I dont want to Kill my baby!" I said... She said, "Are you sure?" "You are so young and it will ruin your life." I couldn't believe this woman was telling me I should kill my baby! They PUSH abortion on you! They take advantage of young women and push abortion on them telling them it is what is best for them! What about the baby????  I was so insulted I got up and walked out and never set foot in a planned parenthood again.

I am going to close this post here. I can't take much more of this sick Organization today or any day. I am honestly just trying with all of my heart and soul to get the truth out about the Democratic Party. I don't know how or understand why so many blacks follow a party that does not have their best interest at heart. They want to keep you down and dependent on our Government. They use you! More to come soon....

What our Fore Fathers Meant for our Government to be.

Not Obama's Idea of Government! Please Watch the Video at this link..

WOULD YOU DO IT????

Would you waterboard a terrorist to prevent this from happening again? 

Barack Hussein Obama wouldn't.

He has a safe place to hide.  Do you?
