Ah, now I see why we need to try suspected terrorists in special military courts

Those dang judges keep letting terrorist back out on our streets! What's the matter with those lunatics? Do they want us to get attacked again by this swarthy band of grocers and accounting teachers?

Another Terrorism-Related Acquittal

A trial that was billed "as a major component in war on terrorism" has, predictably enough, ended with an acquittal on the most serious charge:

(Muhammad) Salah, 53, and Abdelhaleem Ashqar, 48, a one-time assistant business professor at Howard University in Washington, had been accused of laundering money for Hamas terrorists fighting to topple the Israeli government.

A jury found both men not guilty of racketeering. Both were convicted of the significantly less serious crime of obstructing justice, and Ashqar was convicted of criminal contempt for refusing to testify before a grand jury.

1. If we gave them REAL trials, some of the innocent ones would be acquitted.

And B*shCabal� can't have that.

2. Yes, those juries, they can't be trusted

They are made up of voters, you see. :sarcasm:

They give plaintiffs large personal injury awards for no better reason than that they think the plaintiff proved that the defendant was negligent and that said negligence injured the plaintiff.

Somebody they even let criminals off, claiming that the prosecutor did not have enough evidence that the defendant was guilty, and hadn't proven it beyond a reasonable doubt!

And now isn't it so predictable that they'd let terrorists go? :sarcasm:

Why do juries hate America? :sarcasm:
