| Yes, this is gonna work out real well... NEW YORK – The first Guantanamo detainee to face a civilian trial was acquitted Wednesday of all but one of the hundreds of charges he helped unleash death and destruction on two U.S. embassies in 1998 — a mixed result for what's been viewed as a terror test case. A federal jury convicted Ahmed Ghailani of one count of conspiracy to destroy U.S. property and acquitted him on more than 280 other counts, including one murder count for each of the 224 people killed in the embassy bombings. The anonymous jurors deliberated over seven days. |

| #3 This is pretty obviously a super-major defeat for the Obama theory of fighting terror via trial in civilian court. One can hope that even if Obama and Holder do not have the intellectual honesty to admit their whole theory has been discredited, that somebody in the administration will admit it. |

| #2 Sooo, is that like 280+ defamation suits? If so that's not just, like, balking with the bases loaded, but following up with 3 intentionals to purposefully get to Bonds then throwing a hanging curve. Mixed result indeed, someone please tell me I'm wrong. |
