He would be a perfect cohort to join our cause.

I had told Binny many times, take the camel it is safer!

Send the sumbitch to Texas, we'll give him "leniency!"

All this uneducated-desperate man did was drive him around? That deserves a life in prison?

What's wrong with you people? It's not like he tortured little american girls or something. He just drove him around! That's like impeaching bush and giving the pilot of Airforce 1 life in prison.

His psychiatrist says he can be rehabilitated.
I think about 30 years of breaking rocks and deportation to Antarctica might be about right.

And we should put the Airforce 1 pilot in prison, for not bailing out at 23,000 feet.

You just want him down there because you think he has a pretty mouth.

Thank you. I was reading the article and came back to find that "terrorism" is alive and well in the good ole U.S of A.

Amazing how people want his head on a platter and the man was just trying to feed his family.

And these folks say the middle east is horrible....

This coming from the guy in Kentucky. LOL

Kangaroo court. They were going to put him back in jail even if acquited. Big waste of tax money.

Do you hear that? That the violin I am playing for you and him!

Hummm... Salim Hamdan is the first defendant in America's first war-crimes trial since World War II and this is the best they could come up with for the man Time mag called "Enemy Number One"?

The only thing he was convicted of was being Bin Laden's driver. With the "suspects" rounded up in the past 7 years, you'd think they have a bigger fish to fry. Another silly attempt by BushCo at trying to legitimize an illegal war and torture.

If we are so proud of the legal system in America, why not employ it? Why not allow defendants to have access to attorneys and our system of Jurisprudence? Why did the Supreme Court restore The Great Writ of Habeas Corpus, a right the Bush administration attempted to subvert by the Military Commissions Act of 2006? Because it was unconstitutional!

"In a major rebuke to the Bush administration's theories of presidential power -- and in an equally stinging rebuke to the bipartisan political class which has supported the Bush detention policies -- the U.S. Supreme Court today, in a 5-4 decision (.pdf), declared Section 7 of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 unconstitutional. The Court struck down that section of the MCA because it purported to abolish the writ of habeas corpus -- the means by which a detainee challenges his detention in a court -- despite the fact that the Constitution permits suspension of that writ only "in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion.".....

This "Court" would have indicted a tomato, if told to do so.

The "Rule of Law" is a phrase used by Bush many times...too bad he has no idea what it means.
...it takes intelligence to understand and employ "The Rule of Law", something this administration has been hell bent on destroying.

You can't play the violin, either.

Slice off the head of this S.O.B. and send his soul to the stables of allah where he keeps his 72 virgin camels.

I wonder who's gonna be next to go on trial, someone who once cut bin ladens hair in 1985? The guy who unblocked his drains in 1978? How about the CIA agents who paid him money and gave him weapons and explosives in the 1980s'? The US has become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world!

I know you can play the retreat sound! After all your country wrote it!

The question is what did he know about 9/11 plans when he was driving bin Laden around, and was he forced to transport those mini rockets in his limo out of fear for his life or family members' lives.

USA would have been better protected with the Marx Brothers running the show..........

• how the CIA tracked—and then lost—two of the hijackers when they entered the United States more than twenty months before the attacks

• the devastating consequences of the crippling rivalry between the CIA and FBI as the United States moved unwittingly toward 9/11

In a dramatic narrative, Why America Slept exposes the frequent mistakes made by law enforcement and government agencies, and demonstrates how the failures to prevent 9/11 were tragically not an exception but typical. Along the way, by delving into terror financing, the links between far-flung terror organizations, and how the United States responded over the years to other attacks, Posner also makes a damning case that 9/11 could have been prevented.

Why America Slept lays to rest two years of conjecture about what led up to the worst terror attacks in America’s history. This breakthrough book presents an infuriating review of how incompetence and misplaced priorities made America an easy target for terrorists.
