    If we had thrown them in Gitmo without a lawyer or a trial and kept them there 7 years on trumped-up hearsay, you'd be cheering.

    Not at all . the DOJ -- has become so corrupted and politicized that the government has no crediblity.

    You are the quote man. I think we rooted out those horse show hacks and religious quacks.

  7. And how does that work, exactly?
    The previous administration's former DHS admitted that the terror-alert system was jockeyed for political advantage during the 2004 campaign. That leads me to invest their domestic anti-terror efforts with less credibility than those of an administration without a similar history.
    Anyway, these guys, while nasty, were also freaking nuts.

    Reading the NYT report, I question this because who's paying for everything, the Stinger, the meals, the informant? Every meeting was orchestrated by the FBI. This is pretty damn close to entrapment.

    It now appears like old fashion "entrapment" work to go with "old fashioned" police worjk.

    This trial should be fun to watch.
