Any updates on the dangerous "Miami 7"? |
|
You know, those homeless people without funds, entrapped by the FBI, and used by Alberto to make political headlines?
Are they headed to Gitmo? I listened to a lawyer saying there is no jury in Florida who would convict these people based on obvious reasons.
We do need to follow this to make sure they aren't treated like Gitmo prisoners.

all i've seen on local news is the ringleader's father basically saying "that boy ain't right" (apparently the local link is that they once all lived in marksville, louisiana)

4. "prevention through persecution" NYTimes |
|
At a later briefing, Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty answered critics who have said terror prosecutions have often picked out seemingly unsophisticated extremists who are more talk than action. Mr. McNulty said the goal was "prevention through prosecution." All you need to know... http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/24/us/24terror.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1

And they were immediately charged with attempting to escape.

7. OMG, they entrapped a bunch of homeless guys? |
|
Wow, what a well-financed international operation that was. So when ABC called it a "sleeper cell," they meant "sleep in the streets cell"?

10. Yep. Their religion was a cross between Catholic, Islam. Jewish |
|
and others. And they were homeless without a pot to pee in. But they are arrested as American terrorists.
What a joke. Only in W's America.
