U.S. convicts bin Laden's driver at Guantanamo
They were deliberating for what, 8 hours?
I've been following the case, and it appears to me that it was a fucking Kangaroo court.
Acquittals:
The charges he was cleared of on Wednesday -- two counts of conspiring with al Qaeda to attack civilians, destroy property, commit murder in violation of the laws of war -- were the only charges against him in the first prosecution attempt
Convictions:
Hamdan was convicted on Wednesday of five counts of providing material support for terrorism, specifically that his personal services to al Qaeda included driving and acting as a bodyguard for a man he knew to be the leader of an international terrorist organizatio
They convicted him basically for being bin Laden's driver. What a travesty.
I want my country back.
