Posada's trial (for perjury not terrorism) begins

Postby Penta » Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:01 pm

It's a tricky one:
if he is found guilty and in effect proven to be a mastermind of terrorism, the US government will have to address the scandalously short sentence the perjury charges carry. If he is found innocent and released, the Obama administration will have to confront the fact that the US legal system is inadequate to hold Posada even minimally accountable for his violent crimes, and that the United States is, in the end, harboring an international terrorist.

What a mess they've got themselves into by refusing to apply the same standards to friends and foes. Whatever the problems with definitions, it's pretty damned clear to most people round the world that if you deliberately blow up a civilian airliner in the air, you're a terrorist.

Shes never interfered with me. I have no complaints about her.
Same here.
Mega ditto.
I met her once and I found her to be a nice lady. Not kookey in any way.
Penta has always been gracious, kind and very sane in all my interactions with her.
