Thanks for your refreshing reasoned response. I would totally agree there is more here than this article is saying!

Prosecutors are so anxious to win a case they probably would plea bargain with osama.
The only reason this punk did not throw the grenades at American soldiers was that he was caught before he could do so.
Once again, political correctness prevails. This will be seen as a sign of weakness by islam.

This will be seen as a sign of weakness by islam. You're probably right...they have been using our judicial system against us for some time now.

ACLU lawyers and Enviral Whackos are probably far more dangerous to the average American than the al Qaeda thugs. A combination of these two left wing traits make a very dangerous individual. Then if they become a left wing judge in the 9th Circus of Klowns, they become really dangerous.

I'm sure that will be the next strategy.
Now that he has plead guilty. His family, his Dad's gay lover, whomever his mother's lover is, his lawyers, one of the Zogbys will be constantly on Oprah and CNNCBSNBCABCCSPAN crying and begging for America'r forgiving of his actions. Of course they all will appear on Donahue's new balless show. Donahue will cry, Ed Asner will be there as special guest (he can't get a job in Follywood), and some main Rat will be there. Everyone will cry massive buckets of tears.
They will all cry and hint that we VWRC's, GW, Cheney, and Enron are the real guilty parties.

"the case would seriously compromise sources and methods"
This is what probably worried the Justice Dept( or as the CNN anchor referred to them-the "DA" ) the most-apparently the judge was going to allow the defense attorneys to have access to Johnny's fellow dirtbags in Gitmo.Johnny is going to have to cough up some details, verified by poly. I wonder if part of the deal, from the defense side, was that he always remain in isolation-this pretty boy will not do well in the general population. I doubt that the full details of the pleading will ever be known.

Anyway you look at it there is more to this plea than what is being reported.You are probably right, but I wonder how the family of dead CIA officer, John "Mike" Spann, feel about this turn of events.
(BTW, I love your screen name. Share how you came up with it?)

Did you hear his fathers comments to the media? Something to the affect that Nelson Mendela also served 20 years in prison.

No, he has agreed to serve the full sentence...20 years. Remember Mumia is also still in prison, nothing stopping him from being on the lecture circuit, especially colleges.

Well I have having a problem deciding my screen name nothing was fitting. So one morning I was baby sitting my nephew and he was watching a Daffy Duck cartoon, where Daffy was defending Bugs and threatened to swear our a writ of Habeas Corpussel. As a lawyer I laughed I never heard Habeas Corpus noted this way. So the light bulb went on. and hence the name.

One of the networks stated that his widow had issued a statement that she did not object to the plea or she supported it, that she understood the reasoning-didn't get the exact quote,but something along those lines.

I thought it was pretty clear in my post.
We screwed up because he should be sitting in prison for life (best case...death), but we did the best we could under the circumstances (civilian trial).
