File under: al-Qaeda in Britain

#1 Another fundamental going in the dust pans in the WOT, the right to face one's accusers. We're burning the village in order to save it. How'd you like an unidentifiable individual who the state submits as 'credentialed' testifying against you? Hard choices.

#2 I have to agree with that. Fifth Amendment should not be bent out of recognition in the name of "anti-terrorism".

#4 Naseer, acting as his own defense attorney, cross-examined two of the spies who once tailed him.

It's not as if he didn't get to confront those agents bearing witness against him, they just wore ~~fake noses,~~ glasses and wigs. I would suspect Naseer would demand that any of his female acquantainces testifying on his behalf to be able to wear full hijabs

#6 Are they US citizens? If not I don't see where their right to facetheir accusers. Also mob Iinformants get to conceal their identities sometimes so they don't get a bullet in the head so why shouldn't a spy get the same? Not like the constitution doesn't get shit on everyday by law enforcement doing illegal searches an such.

#8 If you think that's odd.

I just changed my UK (GBP only nothing fancy) bank account... I had to approve of sharing the information with the USofA.
Mad.
