Twin Cities activist Omar Jamal said Tuesday he has helped ensure that a suspected pirate is treated justly while in federal custody in New York.
But if a Minnesota legislative leader has his way, it will be the last pirate Jamal helps.
Jamal, executive director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in St. Paul, said that he spoke Monday with the parents of suspected pirate Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse and that he has been consulting with Muse's attorneys. He said he intended to be in court Tuesday, but Muse's public defender said his presence wouldn't be necessary.

FYI..
Why can’t we summarily execute pirates? They sail under the black falg. They’re outlaws.
No Mercy! No Quarter!
Why is my money going to help people who hate Whites and Christians and Jews?
yes he does...
is there pork for Somali pirates in the “Give Act” ?
Not only is your money going to groups who hate whites, Christians and Jews, it is going to a group who help pirates negotiate ransoms for kidnapped hostages and ships.
I guess the reason is that (a) its the "compassionate" thing to do and (b) you have too much money anyway and this is a good way to "spread it around".
But I think the foremost reason is that anything which is against America's interests - socially, economically or internationally is given very high priority at the present time.
It is a scandal that this is even necessary: it means that this gaggle of foreign terrorist supporters is receiving public money.
Did you know that the two Somalis arrested in the shooting at the White Castle over the weekend are already out on bail, thanks to Omar Jamal and his org???
