Could This Be A Prelude To The KSM Trial In NYC?




We better watch this one closely because it might just be a preview of coming attractions as in the KSM trial that would be held in the same venue...New York City.

From (gag) The New York Times:



A New York City judge is set to hear arguments Monday before deciding if a terror suspect's rights were violated when he was held at Guantanamo Bay instead of being prosecuted promptly in a U.S. court.
Lawyers for Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani (guh-LAHN'-ee) say the government erred by letting him be questioned for three years in the Cuban detention camp before he was moved to New York, where he becomes the first Guantanamo prisoner prosecuted in a civilian U.S. court.
Ghailani is accused of deadly bombings at two U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998.
Oh, and what possible defense might the U.S. prosecution be using for why the delay in Ghailani's trial? Take a look:

Prosecutors say the delay in bringing him to trial was to get information from him and protect the United States.

Pardon the sarcasm, but we sure wouldn't want the protection of the American people to get in the way of Liberal justice in this country.

But seriously, this case will break some ground and if this does not go well for the prosecution, then we better strap ourselves in for a rocky road at the KSM trial. As I have stated before, I'm still waiting for the House of Representatives to see a bill offered up that will exclude KSM from this trial freebie given to him by AG Eric "I'mDirty" Holder.

By the way, you might notice below that when the New York Times reports on an islamic terror case they set their own records for brevity of copy. If this was a story about how this jihadi was treated in Gitmo, it would run five pages.



NY Judge to Hear From Guantanamo Suspect's Lawyers

NEW YORK (AP) -- A New York City judge is set to hear arguments Monday before deciding if a terror suspect's rights were violated when he was held at Guantanamo Bay instead of being prosecuted promptly in a U.S. court.
Lawyers for Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani (guh-LAHN'-ee) say the government erred by letting him be questioned for three years in the Cuban detention camp before he was moved to New York, where he becomes the first Guantanamo prisoner prosecuted in a civilian U.S. court.
Ghailani is accused of deadly bombings at two U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998.
Prosecutors say the delay in bringing him to trial was to get information from him and protect the United States.
Rulings in his case could affect the New York prosecution of Khalid Sheik Mohammed (HAH'-leed shayk moh-HAH'-med), who's accused of leading the Sept. 11 attacks.

Fantastic Holger. You've hit every nail. I would not doubt that Holder has a plan for KSM. No doubt at all, and if we think the O and the Ho will make certain these New York trials go the way Americans want them to go, well,....bwahhhhahahahahaha. They do not care. This cheeky duo will do what they damn well please.

John Brennan's commented that Abdulmutallab can be given concessions to get him to talk. Mukasey said that ridiculous because any info the Underpants Bomber had, has a short shelf life.

Brennan may be stupid. O and Ho are not.

I think it is a bit presumptuous to even call this coming KSM thing a trial, a circus would be a more accurate description. The judge will throw out any and all confessions and evidence due to the water boardings.

If KSM is found not guilty it will be the ned of the Democrat party.

Maggie, thank you.

Shark...agreed, circus is a better word although I'm thinking "setup" is the most accurate.

Anonymous, now THAT i agree with 100%.
