Can we add the courts into the idiot category



IDAHO
Web pages barred in terrorism trial
BOISE — Prosecutors in the terrorism-related trial of a Saudi graduate student may not show jurors Web pages and e-mails that purportedly encourage terrorism unless they prove the defendant created them or embraced their content, a judge ruled yesterday.
Judge Lodge said the material could be prejudicial to Mr. Al-Hussayen, and "there's no way the court can strike from jurors' minds evidence that is not tied up."
Mr. Al-Hussayen, 34, a computer science student at the University of Idaho, is accused of setting up and running Web sites that were used to recruit terrorists and support the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

That would just be another branch of law enforcement - our judicial system, protecting terrorists rights and endangering the people who elected them.
