 [ONLINE.WSJ] Abu Hamza al-Masri, an Egyptian-born British holy man, was found guilty of 11 terrorism charges on Monday by a federal jury in Manhattan.
| Twelve good men and true, including the women among them. |
The verdict follows less than two full days of deliberations.
The monthlong trial marks the second time this year that federal civilian prosecutors secured a swift conviction in a high-profile terrorism case. Some critics have contended that military commissions are the more suitable venue for such trials.
| Yes, they are. But this administration is fond of its civilian lawyers. |
