- aloser, on 10/13/2009, -2/+9Better to convict someone without ample evidence?

And if cars were made of paper you could only drive them on sunny days.
And if Hemingway lived under my bed I would be out of scotch.
Is this the part of digg where we just make things up and put "if" in front of them? - NCSD, on 10/13/2009, -1/+7question: how did this get 100 digs in 12 minutes?
- anonymousmedic, on 10/13/2009, -0/+4Wow. He's lucky he got convicted in the UAE, and not in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They tend to bleed you, and then behead you publically for these shenanigans.
- Subduction, on 10/13/2009, -0/+4"This crime did take place in the US?"
There was no crime. He was under investigation in the US for reasons unspecified, but the actual charges were UEA charges no more specific than "promoting terrorism."
My point to the original poster is get your facts straight and then post. We're on the Internet, it's not like the facts aren't available. Don't just post a series of random speculations you pulled out of your ass and think it's okay just because you put "if" in front of it. - Subduction, on 10/13/2009, -0/+4You are right, she would eat you alive.
- Barackalypse, on 10/13/2009, -1/+4No, it was to inspire terror, and it worked, a cold chill ran down my spine.
- pigfister, on 10/13/2009, -1/+3th UAE is one of the places that the USA renditions people to to have them tortured.
i wonder why he isn't being flown to the USA? - Subduction, on 10/13/2009, -0/+2And I'm assuming there is a picture of Hillary Clinton because she is, in part, responsible for the fact that "The UAE is a key ally of Washington in the Arab world?"
- sodade, on 10/13/2009, -0/+2I don't think we saw any of the Saudis who funded the 9/11 boxcutter boyz bled or beheaded.
- ranon78, on 10/13/2009, -6/+8If the crime took place in the USA, he should have been deported and tried there.
If there is insufficient evidence to try him in the USA, well you either get the evidence or he is presumed innocent. - allisonV12, on 10/14/2009, -0/+1But where was his loyalty,go to France or Sweden and their citizens are asking the same question.

- jp2535, on 10/13/2009, -3/+4He's not an American, he's just some terrorist that got a citizenship in the US.
- SirCharge, on 10/14/2009, -0/+1"Yeah, because anyone you buy a *****-ton of oil from is automatically your friend."
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq: The names of 4 nations that the US is closely allied with entirely because they produce oil. If they didn't produce oil they would be irrelevant.
Iran, Venezuela: Two nations that the US government is extremely concerned about but would be nearly irrelevant if they did not produce oil.
Its true that buying oil does not assure an alliance. But it does make an otherwise unimportant nation worthy of being a close ally.
I could pontificate all day. - SirCharge, on 10/14/2009, -1/+2Having a citizenship makes you an American.
There's a whole lot of immigrants who'd be really pissed off if you claimed otherwise. - SirCharge, on 10/14/2009, -0/+1RTFA
- Subduction, on 10/14/2009, -0/+1Yeah, because anyone you buy a *****-ton of oil from is automatically your friend.
YTD 2009 we have bought 62 thousand barrels per day from the UAE who likes us, but we have bought 1.15 million barrels a day from Venezuela who hates us.
Anything else you'd like to pontificate on? - SirCharge, on 10/14/2009, -0/+1UAE is one of the biggest allies of Washington from the region because we buy a *****-ton of their oil. We were close to them long before Hillary came to power.
- noumuon, on 10/14/2009, -1/+1where do you infer there wasn't ample evidence, as it certainly wasn't implied in the article?
- inactive, on 10/14/2009, -1/+1I know there are a lot of kids on Digg, and I know that kids haven't lived through much war and have to rely on theory to determine the best ways to deal with it.
Anyway, in the real world, when there is a war you cannot use ordinary laws to fight against your enemy. Laws designed to deal with muggers/murderers/speeders/fraudsters doesn't work so well against enemy combatants. Otherwise we'll eventually get to the stage where we are capturing enemy troops on the battlefield and are having to prove that they were actually firing on friendly troops.
So, the level of evidence needed for convicting terrorists or enemy combatants must be lower to reflect the nature of what you are up against.
Or, we could let terrorists run around because even though the wiser people know that they are a threat, the loony wishy-washy people require that the evidence reflects a beyond reasonable doubt situation before they can be arrested. - inactive, on 10/13/2009, -2/+2A U.S. "man"? Just some random man came along and decided to help Islamic terrorists.
- Lefts, on 10/13/2009, -1/+1See, the thing about countries that aren't the US, is that they aren't the US. Which means they can do things that the US can't do, but wants to.
- blakespot, on 10/13/2009, -2/+1Long live the Amiga!!
- NCSD, on 10/13/2009, -5/+2I wonder if they'll try him according to islamic law....hello beheading
- aloser, on 10/13/2009, -4/+1"If false then true" is a true statement as is "If false then false". So all of your statements are logically valid because the hypotheses are false.
But this crime did take place in the US. I fail to see your point. - lolerskate, on 10/13/2009, -6/+2sucks to be him.
Send him to dubai to help build those crazy buildings, gonna be more constructive than trying blow them up. - inactive, on 10/13/2009, -8/+2Better to get terrorists off the street really.
