Here in Boise, Idaho, in the terror trail of foreign student AL Hussayen, the jury has returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY in all of the pertinent terror related charges.
Al Hussayen came to this country with hundreds of thousands of dollars from his Saudi Uncle, which money he invested in Islamic "charities" who were later shown to be tied to terror groups. We were supposed to believe that he was unaware of this...even as he became the web master for several of those sites, and even though a captured terrorist testified against him indicating that hsi writings (AL Hussayen) convinced him to join terrorists in the fight against America..
The Uncle who funded Hussayen also happened to be in Washington DC just before 911, staying in the same hotel as the terrorists who hijacked the flight that crashed into the Pentagon. That Uncle later fled the country after interrogations by the FBI.
We were supposed to believe that all of this was circumstantial and this informnation was not allowed at the trial because the Judge felt that all 911 related testimony and information would be too prejudicial against the defendant!
I am sorry, from everything I heard...in the world post 911...this individual was clearly involved in nerferious activities against our nation.
I fear for our nation...even while the greatest optimist and defender of liberty we have knpown in our life time is laid to rest.
Just broke on FNC, too..
Given all that you wrote, what was that jury thinking?
My mother became ill last night and so we were not able to drive down to Simi Valley for the Reagan processional before his burial, as we had intended..this left me here in Boise today to here this and report/post it here on FR.
Isn't that terrible? People could not see it?? It stinks from here (LA) -- did he have a slime-ball lawyer or just dupes on the jury? Too bad he wasn't tried in a military court.
Anybody want to turn in the GITMO guests to our Judicial System now?
This left me here in the Boise area today to hear this and report/post it here on FR.
What happend to ignorance being no excuse? The "I had no idea" defense didn't help Martha Stewart.
I hope we keep track of this guy. What a farce that trial was. Shame on the judge.
Can he--and will he--be deported?
Simple evidence that law enforcement does not equal national defense.
The charges on his clear immigration violations resulted in a hung jury and a mistrial was declared on those charges.
Not guilty by reason of what!
The jury apparently wasn't allowed to hear most of the evidence because the "judge" ruled it "too prejudicial against the defendant". Looks liek this dumbass judge was LOOKING for a reason to get this terrorist acquitted.
A lot of the 911 ties through his uncle were not able to be brought up at the trial because of the judge.
Hoping for a speedy recovery for your Mom, JH.
And FWIW, the picture of Nancy standing at the Capitol, so stoic and so strong, when you could feel she just wanted to sit down, as the casket was being carried up the steps was to me, the defining moment yesterday.
Al Hussayn, well, that's our justice system. If the prosecution couldn't prove their charges, well, that's the way it's supposed to work.
THIS IS NUTS!!!!!!!!
Who was his laywer???
Brandon Mayfield?
The Jury did not hear most of it.
From all I heard...way too many things we were supposed to believe just happened. I am sorry, when I heard that the Uncle who had funded him was at the same hotel in DC as the terrorists who crashed the Pentagon...that was the straw that completely broke the camels back.
WHOA that dude got off
Who is lawyer on Prosecution
Marcia Clark OUCH
Was Johnnie Cochran defend this guy
