The most important information of the day: Clinton admin, caught,
tried, convicted, and sentenced, and in some cases executed the people responsible for the first WTC bombing and the OKC bombing. All within the bounds of existing laws. The Bush administration with their extraordinary illegal actions has screwed up every terrorist case it has tried to bring while breaking all laws and tramping on the Constitution. Will any of the Rethugs give Clinton admin any credit for this? Will the media?

4. They know, it; they just can't stand to admit it. It's the way they are.
And they're not likely to change.

Excellent post, nonetheless. I'm kicking it to better the chances a troll or two will read it.

5. THANKYOU! I was just about to post the same thing. A LTTE campaign should
be a priority.

This will help crystallize the actual debate for the casual newsreader.

Bush's illegal approaches to terror justice are making this nation LESS SAFE and redefining America as a rogue nation to the rest of the world.

6. AMEN! unfortunately, they're not into "suing" terrorists
the wingnuts honestly believe that terrorists should simply be killed, and killed fast. our wonderful legal system with all those precious "rights" is too damn good for those terrorists.

Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 09:42 AM by LiberalVoice

8. more info
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_bombing

Arrests

On March 4, 1993 authorities announced the capture of one of the suspected bombing conspirators Mohammad Salameh. In May 1994 Mohammad Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Mahmud Abouhalima and Ahmad Ajaj were each convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the World Trade Center bombing.

The capture of Salameh led authorities to Ramzi Yousef's apartment, where they found bomb-making materials and a business card from Mohammed Jamal Khalifa. Khalifa was arrested in relation to the crime on December 14, 1994, and was deported to Jordan by the INS on May 5, 1995. He was acquitted by a Jordanian court and now lives as a free man in Saudi Arabia.

In October 1995, the militant Islamist and blind cleric Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, who preached at mosques in Brooklyn and Jersey City, was sentenced to life imprisonment for masterminding the bombing. Rahman, whose Islamic Group organization is believed to have had links to Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, was later convicted with a number of others of conspiracy charges to bomb several New York City landmarks (see New York City landmark bomb plot). In 1998, Ramzi Yousef, said by some to have been the real mastermind, was convicted of "seditious conspiracy" to bomb the towers. When Ramzi Yousef was brought back to America, he was flown over the still intact twin towers, making a statement to the FBI that he regretted not having enough explosives to bring down the WTC towers and adding that his fellow terrorists would try again to destroy them. One of the other men tried alongside Yousef for the bombing was Eyad Ismail. In all, ten militant Islamist conspirators – including Ramzi Yousef – were convicted for their part in the bombing and were given prison sentences of a maximum of 240 years each.

14. They're too busy whining that the Whitewater probe ended so soon (Mon.)
Yes, just this Monday.

Whitewater, RIP
Whitewater, which started one day in 1992 in a downtown Little Rock office and expanded into the costliest and looniest investigation in American history, ended Monday morning in the most appropriate way. The U. S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from Jim Guy Tucker, who was tricked by prosecutors into pleading guilty to cheating on taxes that he did not owe.

Yes, you read that correctly.
