And so, the circus continues... Speedy Trial. Coerced Confessions (torture). Not Mirandized. Various rights violated while in detention.
This is way out of hand.
It’s time to take back the country.
Lawyers for a terrorism suspect once held at Guantánamo Bay who is now facing prosecution in Manhattan asked a judge on Tuesday to dismiss his case on the ground that his nearly five years in detention denied him his constitutional right to a speedy trial.
The correct ruling under the constitution is MOTION GRANTED. These bastard don’t get our rights!!! what a joke!! Hey judge I was water tortured in Jail and I had no Lawyer and I didn’t get my miranda warnings -— CASE DISMISSED. !!!!!!!!!!!!
From the article:
“Mr. Ghailani, a Tanzanian who is believed to be in his mid-30s, has pleaded not guilty. He has been charged with conspiring to help carry out Al Qaeda’s 1998 bombings of the American Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, attacks that killed 224 people. The military has also said that he later served as a cook and a bodyguard for Osama bin Laden.”
As if we should even consider giving him a trial now.
I also thought it funny that the NY Times carried this story, I would think it for liberal persuasion and to blame the government for having taken away a basic right, but no where does it mention that this guy is not entitled to any rights as he was not a citizen of this country, nor was the crime committed here.
