File under: Hamas

#1 I am sure that if I was a Hamas sympathizer, this little "slap on the wrist" would not deter me one iota. In fact, it may embolden me even further knowing that you can probably get away with mass murder in this country without punishment.

#2 That depends, Jack is Back. If Mr. Salah is not a citizen, he can be deported immediately following serving his jail sentence. While he is imprisoned the police/FBI can more closely examine his activities and connections... and work up a case for something really ugly. Not to mention all the people in his cell phone, his computer, his PalmPilot... Mr. Saleh was convicted only of lying under oath in a civil lawsuit; Al Capone was put away for tax evasion, once upon a time, and look what that started.

#4 Somethings missing in this story. Salah was sentenced "here" for lying under oath about a "murder" ocurring in Israel. I don't know about the law in Israel but murder in the U.S. is generally considered a criminal matter and not a civil matter--unless it's like the civil trial involving OJ arising out of murders. Why would he be testifying here in a civil matter concerning a murder in Israel?
