Former Intel Engineer Pleads Guilty To Taliban Aid
theodp writes "Following up on an earlier Slashdot story, software engineer Maher "Mike" Hawash pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiring to provide services to the Taliban, agreeing to testify against other suspects in exchange for the dropping of other terrorism charges. He will serve at least seven years in federal prison under the deal. In March, federal agents seized Hawash from a parking lot outside Intel Corp., where he worked, and held him as a material witness until charges were filed five weeks later."
No harm in blowing up un-Islamic artifacts, no harm in destroying their own country, no harm in making their women not study/go out in public/wear certain clothes.....I could go on and on.
I think you should read this: link
A reasonable country would have extradited a known terrorist ringleader, and wouldn't have been given him and his Really Evil organization support to begin with.
A reasonable country would have extradited him, if and when we provided them with some proof.
Or do you think they were afraid the U.S. wouldn't give bin Laden a fair trial? Yeah, that sounds about right.
How many fair trials have been given to the men detained in Cuba?
you don't have to prove the guy did it before the trial actually begins. What's the point of a trial, then?
Let's for a moment, pretend that we're talking about a US Citizen in a regular criminal case(which you apparently are). You have to have SOME evidence, or you can't even get an indictment.

No shelter was provided, nor was land provided, nor did they build any training camps (though our government did.)
And they offered to turn over bin Laden & Co. after the attacks, just not on the ridiculous terms set by the U.S. They wanted them to stand trial in some third country, that was hopefully impartial.
And by the way, there is absolutely no evidence that bin Laden committed the 9/11 attacks in the first place. None whatsoever. FBI Director Mueller has admitted as much.
There is however very convincing evidence that Israel at least knew about the attacks in advance.
Sorry, but that's just the way it is.
Is this truly the only Earth I can live on?
