Ga. Terror Suspects Want Charges Tossed
2006-10-05
ATLANTA (AP) - Lawyers for two men charged with providing material support to terrorists want some charges against their clients dismissed and some evidence and conversations with investigators suppressed.

A flurry of motions were filed by defense lawyers for Syed Ahmed and Ehsanul Sadequee in federal court in Atlanta this week. Sadequee, 20, and Ahmed, 21, are accused of discussing terror targets with Islamic extremists and undergoing training to carry out a ``violent jihad'' against civilian and government targets, including an air base in suburban Atlanta.
You mean they're on trial and not scooped up and locked away in a secret detention facility without the right to habeas? I thought that the new laws would deny citizens their rights, I read it at the Daily Kos.
Authorities say the men's motivation for planning attacks was ``defense of Muslims or retaliation for acts committed against Muslims.'' Both are U.S. citizens. They have pleaded not guilty.

And I want Salma Hayak to come over and give me a backrub. We'll see who gets lucky first.

#1  Of course they do.

The LE model grinds on, until it grinds to a halt. At the end, if some asshat actually goes to jail, we all get to be surprised - and he gets advanced into higher levels of jihad. It's a mahvelous deal.

Much ado about half-measures.
