CONVICTED Terrorist sues Attorney General - Have you seen this crap?

[MichaelD]

Read it and weep.



<< WASHINGTON (CNN) -- One of four men convicted last year in the 1998 East Africa embassy bombings is suing United States Attorney General John Ashcroft over the new regulation that allows the government to eavesdrop on certain attorney-client conversations in prison. Life, no parole. Al-'Owhali is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole at the federal maximum security prison in Florence, Colorado. A federal jury in Manhattan found him guilty of murdering the 213 people, including 12 Americans, who were killed in the August 7, 1998, truck bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. >>




What has this country come to? I tell you, I would fail miserably within 6 months, but if I ran the country, I sure as hell wouldn't tolerate this crap. I mean, I know all about the right to an appeal, but this is taking it too far. The guy is a criminal in every sense of the word! He helped bomb the American embassy in Africa; assisted in the ugly death of 213 people, including 12 Americans.

He is serving life. He shouldn't be allowed any legal consultation about anything. As far as I'm concerned, they should've taken him out to the back of the courthouse, and spent $.45 on a single .45ACP slug. Right in his forehead. My tax money feeds this poor excuse for a human being and now WE ARE LETTING HIM sue...this country is headed the wrong way down a one-way street, my friends. 🙁

No! We should of taken him outside the courthouse and spent $0 and beat the sh!t out of him, that pos doesnt deserve our tax money

Agreed. 🙁

4 words. Secret Military Tribunals Needed

Foreign middle-eastern nationals convicted of terrorism DO NOT deserve the same rights as American citizens. Period.

I personally don't see anything wrong with this. Actually it gives me a little more faith in America. He has the right to sue just like anyone else in this country does.

That said, I do wish he would've been sentence to death by beating 😉

 

[Dudd]

Welcome to the American legal system. People can sue, regardless of what they've done. A Stalinist purge may look appealing for guys like him, but in the end it won't turn out so well.

the government to eavesdrop on certain attorney-client conversations in prison.

That doesn't sound right.

<< the government to eavesdrop on certain attorney-client conversations in prison.

Would this apply to conversations held in the jail/cell between client-attorney, as well as telephone conversations?

Welcome to the United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. In this great country even the lowliest and most reprehensible scumbags have the same rights as the rest of us. That is what makes us so great. It makes every other nation on earth hate us for our fairness and decency.

Just because he files a lawsuit doesn't mean that it will go anywhere. Let him have his fun. It will be shortlived.

 

[bigalt]

To completely strip somebody of all of their human rights, like the privelige of whispering sweet nothings to bubba without uncle sam listening in, seems like cruel and unusual punishment to me. I think he deserves a formal venue through which to protest.

 

[Weyoun]

No HappyPuppy, that arrogant attitude displayed so frequently on this board is what makes us annoyed.



<< It makes every other nation on earth hate us for our fairness and decency. >>



uhh, come again? Why do you assume that every country with the notable exception of your own wishes to infringe the rights of their citizens? Damn, I suppose I ought to consult the Australian manual, titled 'Persecution, the right way', which no doubt all good, fair and just Australians have. Pity, I really wanted to opress someone today.

:disgust:

 

[HappyPuppy]

Weyoun, it was not my purpose to alienate one of our strongest allies, Australia. I was reacting to the original post that intimated that a person convicted of a crime, any crime, shouldn't have the right of redress.

I am anything but arrogant, but I am proud to be an American.

Keep in mind that all I hear from news sources from around the world is condemnation of the U.S. It is not alway easy to remember that when we are being bashed for our way of life that those who stand beside us are also being condemned.

Have a nice day!
