10/13/2010 - The trial of former Guantanamo detainee Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, accused of involvement in the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania got underway Wednesday in a civilian court in New York.
His trial is the first to be heard by a civilian judge, as all earlier cases involving Guantanamo inmates were heard and decided by military tribunals.
Ghailani faces 286 federal counts and life in prison if found guilty of the conspiracy to kill Americans. In December 1998, he was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury in New York.
In opening statements at the trial before presiding judge Lewis Kaplan, prosecutor Nicholas Lewin said Ghailani was a vital cog in al-Qaeda's plans to kill Americans, and he had purchased the truck and gas tanks used in the 1998 Dar-es-Salaam attack.
"He and his accomplices were committed to Al-Qaeda's overriding goal to kill Americans. We will prove both of these massacres in East Africa were the work of a single Al-Qaeda cell. And this man, Ahmed Ghailani, was a vital part of that cell," he told the court. {read rest}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
