Title: Judge bans key witness from detainee's NY trial
Post by: garand4life on October 06, 2010, 12:49:09 PM

So it seems that the whole trying enemy combatants thing isn't going as well as Eric Holder said. It seems we forgot that terrorists are people too and we didn't respect their constitutional rights... ***K THAT!

Seems like a solid ruling on the law. It would be a thousand times worse if the judge had set a precedent that allowed coerced testimony under "extenuating circumstances" as we all know where that would lead. To me, it seems that there is a very easy solution here. Just extradite the SOB to either Kenya or Tanzania, whichever one will hang him first. ;D

Or, as an alternative to Holder's idiotic idea,we could have just left the b@st@rd in Gitmo and tried him in a military court.  I mean, really, who could not have seen this coming?  O-damna and his administration are diligently working to undermine the established rule of law in this country.  This piece of crap will walk free and our government will end up paying him not to sue us before this is over.

I have a deep fear that the "Great Experiment" is coming to an end. :'(

Is Ghailani an American Citizen? I don't believe he is.   Perhaps taking them out, rather than capturing them can avoid all this in the future.

One way ticket to Algerian interrogators, and we'll just wait for the "Cliff's Notes"....they can do what they want with his carcass.

Is there any body out there who didn't see this type thing coming as soon as they said they would try them ?
Most of these azzholes should have been shot out of hand in the first place.
