On the one hand, has a value of several centuries of successful terror trials in the federal civil justice system. That Zacarias Moussaoui and Richard Reid, and Ramzi Yousef, and a few weeks ago, Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the "underwear bomber." Save Abdulmutallab, all others are serving life sentences without parole in federal prison, locked up forever in the world. We have heard the last of him. Soon the child "Friend, your pants are on fire," will be too.
Kelly Ayot, New Hampshire, citing last year the embassy bombing trial of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani Africa in New York as proof that federal courts have no place for terrorism suspects. The measure -- technically defund civil trial as "enemy combatants" terror -- was offered by the Senator, what. wait. Ghailani, you'll recall, was acquitted of all charges against him and returned to his native country, Tanzania, where he now directs the operations of terrorism against the United States. What? Sorry, my producer to speak in my IFB.
Instead, it is in the detention block statement of life without parole federal post he received earlier this year by the U.S. Oh, right. It turns out that Ghailani was convicted by a jury after all civil rights. He discovers that the senator is not free. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan. Ayotte is trying to sell the idea that the civil system does not work for foreign terrorists, even if Ghailani and approximately 300 other terrorists of 9 / 11 were convicted and sentenced by a federal court. Ghailani is Tanzania. Not to commit acts of terrorism.
Evil (John McCain) and at worst (Lindsey Graham), who happily allowed the Bush White House to continue its war against terrorism that you choose. Now, suddenly, terror, civil cases are a bad policy of 200 years of tradition should be thrown out the window. Even in the ultra-hypocritical world of politics in Washington these days is different. . In fact, led by Sens during the Bush era, most of these same Republican senators did not say a word when the administration has sought foreign suspects in federal court.
