Although I only ever rely on “Law and Order” and am loath to cite “Wikipedia”, counselor Wiki advises:
“Giving testimony in a trial or other legal proceeding that could subject one to criminal prosecution.
The right against self-incrimination forbids the government from compelling any person to give testimonial evidence that would likely incriminate him during a subsequent criminal case. This right enables a defendant to refuse to testify at a criminal trial and “privileges him not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings” (Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 94 S. Ct. 316, 38 L. Ed. 2d 274 [1973]).
But I still find it amazing that a person in that position would give an interview on these factual issues — for example, without even having any connection between Dr. Hatfill and the park.
I mean, it’s not the same as when some web poster points out Ali Al-Timimi held his jihad summer camp in the Frederick park.
As explained in the flyer introduced by the Department of Justice in a different prosecution, in early July 1994, cooperation with Al-Timimi’s Society for the Adherence to the Sunnah, Washington, D.C., IANA held its first annual summer camp in English in Frederick, MD. The theme of the camp was “Living the Shahadah in America.” This is what Sheikh Ali was teaching kids at the 1st Annual IANA Summer Camp at Frederick, MD:
“Reflections on the Meaning of Our Testimony of Faith: ‘There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah” by Ali Al-Timimi.

“6 Wage Jihad in the Path of Allah

“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and practice not the true religion (Islam), being of those who have been given the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) — until they pay tribute readily and have been brought low. (The Qur’an 9:29)
The Prophet .. has said:
I am commanded to fight mankind till they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establish the prayers and pay the charity. When they do that they will keep their lives and their property safe from me.”
I mean, it’s almost as if the CIA brilliantly distracted the public from the real reason they searched the park with the cover of the Hatfill theory, which was first advanced by a lawyer for islamic militants who is still making the argument.
So I don’t want TrebleRebel to accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist, but let’s flesh out the story with some basic facts. When did this fellow move over from the CIA to the DOJ? I’ve emailed him to ask but not heard back.
