So if I understand correctly, he did in fact lie about his connection to al-Midhar. Wonder how come?

I don't give a damn if he lied about his connection. If they suspected it(but had no proof which they obviously did not), then they should have deported him, which would have been legal. Abusing the Material Witness statute was not the answer.

I'm not questioning some convoluted point of law. And besides, why deport someone you consider to be a material witness?

I'm asking how come this guy lied.

[miamimark]

then they should have deported him,

How do you know he's not a citizen?
