#1 in other words, he's guilty, but they chose to let him go.

#2 Attorney Gerry Spence said the government is trying to justify a faulty investigation that profiled Mayfield, a convert to Islam, by his religious beliefs, and that became an embarrassment for the Justice Departmentâs war on terrorism.

Actually, Mayfield probably isn't guilty, since his lawyer, Gerry Spence, apparently doesn't pick losing cases.

#3 oh please. Like his 12 year old daughter, named "sharia" came up with that sentiment all on her own.

Agents found his computer had been used to research airline schedules from Portland to Madrid in September and October 2003, and to access Web sites marketing rental housing in Spain, and sites for the Spanish national rail system that became the target of the March attack, according to the document.

And, correct me if I'm wrong - but you generally don't need "rental housing" when on an exchange program.

#4 Like I said. This Gerry Spence fella trades on cases he can't lose.

#5 in other words, he's guilty, but they chose to let him go.

Having sympathies doesn't automatically make the guy guilty. The details that have been outlined are somewhat eyebrow-raising, but not clear evidence of complicity, and as a result not much can be done. Now had the fingerprint thing panned out, things might have turned out differently.

#6 The system worked - Mayfield's not been convicted, has he? Nah - we're going to wait till he actually blows someone up before convicting him - if we can prove it.

#7 Having a good lawyer and getting acquitted does not innocence make.

#8 I didn't say Spence was a good lawyer. He finds no-lose cases, cases he think he can't possibly lose. I read part of his vitae. The man has never lost a jury trial in his life. Now, either a) he is a very good litigaor or b) he trades in cases he knows he can't lose. I vote b).
