re: #320 Aceofwhat?

Besides, we’re discussing what we would like to happen, not what is currently legal or practice. Or at least, I was discussing it thus. I am not saying that we are operating incorrectly in a technically legal sense at the moment, just that I don’t like the current framework.

Why? The US Justice system has held trials in ordinary criminal courts for dozens of people charged with terrorist activities within the US proper, and has had no difficulty obtaining guilty verdicts against them at all. In this particular case, if the Feds aren’t able to get a guilty verdict in such a slam-dunk case, the guy deserves to walk simply as punishment for the US for gross incompetence.
