Verdict reached in Ahmed Ghailani case

Ahmed Ghailani, the first Guantanamo detainee tried in civilian court, was found not guilty on all counts except one in connection with the 1998 bombing of U.S. Embassies in Africa.

Ghailani was convicted of conspiracy to destroy public property. He was charged with conspiracy and murder in the 1998 attacks on embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Actually in a strange way, this is a GOOD thing........

First, it validates everything that conservatives have said regarding the folly of trying these terrorists in civilian court. and......

Second, it ensures that Gitmo will stay open for the foreseeable future, as well as the reconvening of military tribunals.......Obama has no other choice now.

The left has painted themselves into a corner on this.......

Hey, the boss told him to make sure the brother goes free....he didn't get off scot free so Eric's job may be a little shakey.

1 conviction out of 280 charges.

Obama is a joke but no one--except Ghailiani--is laughing.

Now the administration has to put up or shut up about holding these guys even without guilty verdicts. They'll probably push for the maximum sentence on the one conviction they did get.

Yeah it was airtight until they ran into an activist judge who tossed out the star wittness for the prosecution.

Hi,

I agree with you.  Holder should be canned and Obama impeached.  No different than the justice department deciding not to prosecute the black panthers.

my prediction is that they will claim victory because they can put the terrorist pig in jail for the rest of his life on the one conviction that they did get.  watch.  that will be exactly their spin.

but the obamites have said all along that they weren't ever going to release him regardless of the verdict, which is the very definition of a "show trial", and something that I thought only happened in third world countries and banana republics . . .

And yet they're the first ones who piss and moan about the rule of law and how GWB "trashed" it.

You are right. It will just make the left look like clowns that they are. Still, Ahmed Ghailani should be executed. I wonder why Kenya and Tanzania has not tried him since he killed their citizens?

Can Holder be impeached?


What gets me is a terrorist...a freakin, card carrying member of Al Queda gets off on 284 counts...and innocent Americans are treated like animals and molested at airports.

The guilty get off and the innocent are punished.
The only good to come out of this is we have two years of this insanity that the public see as the democrat's fault. You can't blame Bush for the utter incompetence that IS the Obama Administration.

Hey, they were failures at that. The two in the White House gave up their license to practice law. ....and one of them also failed at being a community organ grinder.

um, how can you be found guilty of conspiracy when you were acquitted of all of the other underlying charges against you?

this isn't over.  the single meager conviction will be appealed until well after President Palin has given her second inaugural address  :-).  and that is one of the big reasons that this shouldn't have been in civilian court in the first place.

It comes to show that anyone can be elected as President. You just have to manipulate people.
