Republicans Collectively Freak Out About The Ghailani Verdict
In the wake of a civilian court verdict convicting suspected terrorist Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani of only one of the over 280 charges brought against him, Republicans had a field day decrying the Obama administration's decision to try suspected terrorists before civilian courts instead of military tribunals. The denunciations ranged anywhere from declaring such a decision "insanity" to suggesting that the Obama administration "nearly allowed this terrorist to get away." In reality, there is no evidence that trying Ghailani in a military court would have produced a more severe verdict. Indeed, whereas terrorists tried in military commissions have served relatively short prison sentences, those tried in criminal courts have faced significantly longer prison terms.

During a Senate Floor speech on March 15, 2010, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) embarked on a long, meandering journey smearing Al Gore, climate scientists, and clean energy. In particular, Inhofe criticized the "created science" showing "anthropogenic jackasses" (he meant to say "gases") cause global warming.
