| Sulaiman Abu Ghaith convicted on terror charges |
| 2014-03-27 |
| The Wall Street Journal, according to Powerline, is crowing about the conviction citing the arguments of those who contend that civilian courts, rather than military commission, are suitably equipped to handle terrorism prosecutions. Powerline disagrees, as do I and so do, I imagine, most of Rantburg.com readers. According to Mark Steyn and this Powerline blog entry, Abu Ghaith has a legal team that comprised a khaffeyeh and ponytail wearing Jew, a transvestite homosexual and the son of convicted terrorism support Lynne Stewart, Geoffrey Stewart. Quips Steyn: So long, Suleiman. Surely better death in the Hindu Kush than a decade of appeals with no one but a Jew and a transgendered infidel for company. Osama Bin Laden's son-in-law Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, who was an al-Qaeda spokesman after 9/11, has been convicted of terrorism-related charges at a trial in New York. He could face life in prison when he is sentenced in September for conspiracy to kill Americans and aiding al-Qaeda. The Kuwaiti clergyman was captured in Jordan last year and brought to the US. He is the highest-ranking al-Qaeda figure to face trial on US soil since the attacks. |
