Worthless article. How many actual terrorists were tried and how many convictions? Article gives no clue.
FRIDAY NIGHT NEWS DUMP!!!!!
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said the information provided confirms Republicans suspicions and further erodes Attorney General Eric Holder’s argument for trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), the professed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, in civilian court.
“The information provided today confirms what Republicans have been saying all along — and removes perhaps the last remaining pillar underneath the Attorney General’s collapsing argument for the civilian trial of Khalid Sheik Mohammed,” Sessions said in a statement.
The vast majority of the terrorism cases cited by Holder are not comparable to KSM’s case, Sessions continued, because most of the convictions contained in Justice’s list are for far lesser crimes, such as document fraud and immigration violations. Sessions said only a “small handful concern conduct even remotely similar to a mass casualty terrorist attack.”
