Lawwwwwyers made closing arguments today in the trial of Holy Land Foundation officials. Charged with aiding terrorists, conspiracy, and money laundering, the defendants could be imprisoned for life, if they are found guilty of acts which resulted in deaths. This raises questions.
How could this possibly take six years? How many millions of taxpayer dollars have been pocketed, pilfered, or otherwise squandered in this affair? Why were these people not charged with treason and/or espionage, depending on citizenship? The prosecution could produce only one witness? In SIX YEARS? Ohh, PUHLEASE! And finally, if these people are convicted of these acts, which are tantamount to waging war against the United States and her allies, why can't they be executed as the spies whom they are? Or, at least exiled to The Rat Islands as the rats whom they are?
