| Canadian's Appeal to Stop Extradition to U.S. over Iraq Deaths Denied |
| 2014-08-12 |
| [AnNahar] An Iraqi-born Canadian man accused of helping to plan suicide kabooms which left five American soldiers dead lost an appeal against his extradition to the United States on Monday. Lawyers for Faruq Khalil Muhammad 'Isa, who faces life in prison if eventually convicted, immediately vowed to take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada. 'Isa was indicted in New York federal court in 2011 on charges of conspiracy to murder Americans in his native Iraq, and providing material support for terrorism. He was jugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... in Canada the same year and subsequently ordered extradited to the United States to face a trial. 'Isa however appealed the decision. He maintained that he was wrongly denied access to a lawyer or interpreter on the day of his arrest, and that his brother and others were tortured into giving false information about him. The Alberta Court of Appeal in rejecting his appeal noted that the bulk of the evidence in the case was obtained from 'Isa's own statements to police, computer searches and wiretaps. 'Isa is accused of having helped to organize two suicide kabooms using two trucks filled with explosives in Iraq that killed five U.S. soldiers, several coppers and other Iraqis. The United States alleges that he was a member of a "terrorist facilitation network" operating in Iraq, Libya, Tunisia and Syria, whose members recruited "jihadist" fighters in Tunisia and transported them into Iraq to execute attacks against U.S. and coalition forces there, according to Canadian court documents. |

| #3 Should 'Isa ever get extradited to the U.S. from Canada, I don't have much confidence in our Department of Justice under this AG. The SOB ought to be shot rather than soak up tax payer money. |

| #2 Bill Clinton: You seem to have missed the salient point that the article is about a dude in Canuckistan rather than in the USA. He is being dealt with by what I jokingly refer to as "The Canadian Legal System" which can be quite nasty - in a passive/aggressive way - to people like him. His appeal to the Supreme (HAH!!!!) Court of Canuckistan will be dismissed . . . . eventually . . . . and he will be deported to the USA after having been exposed to a few years of 24 hour a day Country and Western music. In other words he will have had to listen to women singing through their noses and men yearning for the good old honky-tonk life for DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY with no mention of cruel and unusual having been mentioned. That has got to hurt someone who is named after Mo-Ham-Head. |

| #1 Had this one been treated as an enemy combatant instead of a criminal, this would be over by now. Unfortunately, the Dems and the trial lawyers that control them view the war on terrorism as a fertile growth industry for lawyers. |
