So, I guess now we know why the Bush administration has to resort to locking up suspected terrorists without charges, access to attorneys, or trials. It’s because our justice department is too fucking incompetent to actually convict anybody by following the rules. Yesterday, they went 0 for 7 against the “Liberty City 7” in Miami. One acquittal and six mistrials. Of course, the case that started out with a big dog and pony show from Lawyer of the Year Alberto Gonzalez got more and more comical as the facts came out. The gang’s “mastermind” used to roam the streets in his bathrobe carrying a staff, trying to recruit new followers. They trained by playing paintball in the woods (the only weapons the feds came up with were a knife and a blackjack, fer chrissakes). A very scary bunch indeed.
