The War on Terrorism in the Courts:
Over at [1]Begging to Differ, Venkat [2]lists the anti-terrorism cases
that DOJ has brought that somehow have ended up falling flat-- via
acquittal, dismissal of charges, and the like. If you broaden the
category to terrorism cases both charged and uncharged, you might add
the case of Yaser Esam Hamdi, who it seems will [3]soon be released. I
am less sure than Venkat about what to make of these cases. The nature
of terrorism cases is that the public often only sees the tip of the
iceberg, and there may be a lot more going on that we can't see but
that would put things in a very different light. Still, the picture
drawn by the public side of these cases is troubling.
Thanks to [4]De Novo for the link.
