New York (AP) -- The former Guantanamo detainee found guilty of conspiracy in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa has asked a judge to toss the conviction.

A federal jury in New York City last month acquitted Ghailani of 224 counts of murder and dozens of other charges

And whose bright idea was it to bring this onto our shores?

I think obamanation should let him move in and have free reign in the WH since muslims are HIS friends.

That sounds like a good idea to me. Drop the convictions and let the families of fallen soldiers get 5 minutes with this rodent in a sound proof room. We’ll just say he went back home....to hell.

Holder and Obama remain true to their Oath to defend
al Qaeda, all Moslems, and their 57 states on Jihad against America.
Holder and Obama have defended and freed them from
prisons and from .... the US military over and over.

The Al-Qaeda Bar (Big Law Firms Line Up to Represent Terrorists)
"Some of the nation's wealthiest and most powerful law firms have donated hundreds of
millions of dollars in free legal services to terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
Their work, bolstered by left-wing activists groups, has helped to free, or force the
transfer, of hundreds of al Qaeda suspects to third countries. Some have gone back to
terrorism and the job of trying to kill Americans.

The work of big American law firms on behalf of al Qaeda is drawing new attention since
Attorney General Eric Holder decided this month that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who
orchestrated the murder of over 3,000 9-11, is coming to New York City for trial. Holder
was a partner at Covington & Burling, which in 2005 gave one its attorneys an award for
aiding 17 Yemeni suspects at Guantanamo."

It's not a bad point: conspiracy to do what? since he was found not guilty of all the 'whats' in the case.
