NEW YORK (AP) -- A judge earlier this week refused to let federal prosecutors present some of the most potentially damaging evidence against a Yemeni sheik charged with funneling millions of dollars to terrorists.

Federal judge had to have been appointed by a demRAT to block any evedence against them. This is how the bastards are beating us in our own courts. They can afford to hire the most expensive law firms and get the most liberal judges.
And .. this is exactly why terrorists cannot be treated as a "legal" issue. They do not deserve the cover of OUR COURT SYSTEM - SINCE THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS.
It would be more appropriate to remove the judge from the bench, permanently, but ultimately, these "sheiks" and "imams" and "mullahs" deserve the swift justice of a drumhead trial, followed by execution by hanging.
And their carcasses should be stuck on poles to be devoured by the buzzards.
Or sent to Doggie King (an "Eating Raoul" moment).
