OK, am I the only one who is pretty sure that at least some of these people did something wrong? This is pretty extreme action if they didn't. Tough call, I know, but if they had blown themselves up they would have been pretty guilty and there still wouldn't have been a trial. I read some group claimed responsibility. If a group takes responsibility for something, they are pretty much admitting they did it without a trial. Sometimes a trial is just to determine punishment, not prove guilt. Did Saddam Hussein go to trial to determine if he was guilty or not? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/11/AR2006081102053_pf.html
I noticed an unusual absence of the word "allegedly" in this article, usually used when reporters don't want to be accused of making false accusations. They seem pretty sure that these people were planning something big. If you really think I'm jumping to conclusions, I'm willing to entertain that possibility. --- In [email protected], "Hannah Robinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That's kind of the whole point of a trial, Ellen. > > On 8/11/06, Ellen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I'm getting the impression that they have good reason to believe the > > majority of them are guilty.
