Bruce http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003293136_computer07.html U.S. defends arrest, detention of witness in Idaho computer-terrorism case By Rebecca Boone The Associated Press BOISE, Idaho - The U.S. government says it did nothing wrong when federal agents arrested and detained an American citizen as a material witness in a computer-terrorism case. In his lawsuit, Abdullah al-Kidd contended the federal government and its agents - including former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and his successor, Alberto Gonzales; FBI Director Robert Mueller; and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff - violated his civil rights by improperly using material-witness laws. In its response Friday, filed by Justice Department lawyer J. Marcus Meeks, the government denied al-Kidd's allegations and said he was not entitled to damages. The lawsuit arose after al-Kidd - a former student at the University of Idaho - was arrested in 2003 as a material witness in the government's case against a fellow student, Sami Omar Al-Hussayen. Al-Kidd and Al-Hussayen both worked on behalf of the Islamic Assembly of North America, a Michigan-based charitable organization that federal investigators alleged funneled money to activities supporting terrorism and published material advocating suicide attacks on the United States. A jury acquitted Al-Hussayen of using his computer skills to foster terrorism and of three immigration violations after an eight-week federal trial. Al-Hussayen was eventually deported to Saudi Arabia. Al-Kidd was never called to testify, but he spent two weeks in jail as a material witness and was later released to the custody of his wife with strict limitations on where he could travel.
