Why They Hate Us (A Continuing Series)
Our system of law continues its breakdown:
We bust a guy as suspected terrorist, fail to get a conviction, so give him the options of retrial or deportation.
What's wrong with treating him like someone who's been acquited?
Obviously, the illegal wiretaps didn't work.
And if he was truly guilty, deportation by secret INS proceeding was always an option. So the acquital obviouly was pretty much on its merits, not a technicality.
In other words, this is just another piece of administration BS. They guy is not guilty of what he was accused of and should be left alone. That would have had the bonus of showing a smidgen of tolerance. But no, the proto-fascists running the country are too small and petty for that, specially being so locked into faith-based foreign policy-making. Poor us.
