SCREW CATCH AND RELEASE: LET'S STRIP AND SHIP
Warrantless Eavesdropping Claim Rejected Friday, November 10, 2006
Associated PressBy MATTHEW BARAKAT
McLEAN, Va. (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed claims that prosecutors illegally built their case against a convicted al-Qaida supporter on information obtained from the Bush administration's warrantless eavesdropping program.
Truck driver Iyman Faris, 37, of Columbus, Ohio, is serving a 20-year prison sentence after admitting in a plea bargain that he conspired with al-Qaida on an aborted plot to bring down the Brooklyn Bridge by cutting its suspension cables. But Faris sought to have his sentence set aside, in part because of suspicions that the government's eavesdropping program tainted the case.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, filed earlier this week, is under seal, so it is unclear why she dismissed the claim. Faris' lawyer, David Smith, refused to discuss the ruling.
Faris, who was born in Pakistan and became a U.S. citizen in 1999, is one of several convicted terrorists who have sought to challenge the legality of the NSA's eavesdropping. So far, no challenge has been successful.
Hooray! Now strip him and his family of citizenship and ship their asses OUT! If we can prove others knew about his plans, strip and ship them too!
HEY DUMMYCRATS, YOU SAID YOU'D DO BETTER. ARE YOU LISTENING?????????
