Judge Gets in Swipe at Bush Administration
"U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour said the successful prosecution of Ahmed Ressam should serve not only as a warning to terrorists, but as a statement to the Bush administration about its terrorism-fighting tactics.
"We did not need to use a secret military tribunal, detain the defendant indefinitely as an enemy combatant or deny the defendant the right to counsel," he said Wednesday. "The message to the world from today's sentencing is that our courts have not abandoned our commitment to the ideals that set our nation apart."
Yeah... and it only took him the better part of five years and millions of dollars to convict one guy, a guy who was caught red handed with a trunkload of explosives and who gave a confession!!! What a judicial success story that is! At that rate, everybody currently involved in the War on Terror would die of old age before he got halfway through all the detainees at Gitmo.
