Home Front: WoT
Terr deported to Syria. Coal exported to Newcastle.
2004-06-03
Nabil al-Marabh, once imprisoned as the No. 27 man on the FBI's list of must-capture terror suspects, is free again. The Bush administration in January deported al-Marabh to Syria - his home and a country the U.S. government long has regarded as a sponsor of terrorism.
Unbelieveable.
Story has the odor of fine ripe fish. Something is going on behind the scenes we don't know about. Maybe they found he was not as big as they thought he was, maybe holding him would have blown another operation. Hell, maybe he'll turn up claiming we deported him to Syria to be tortured.

#7  At a certain point Americans will realize that the discovery requirements for trail in American courts make them incompatible with prosecution against terrorists and possibly drug traffickers as well. I think that the innovative Israelis have discovered the solution to terrorist prosecution. It also prevents prison overcrowding.

#5  This is because we can't enter evidence against these people without letting them look at the info on informants and operations. Thanks a lot you stupid Judges!

#3  ...Or maybe we're quietly letting the word out that Mr. al-Marabh was of enormous help to us. *G*

#1  supposedly because we didn't want to reveal secret intel. I would've leaked that he was a Mossad spy before deporting him.
