Judge berates US failures as 9/11 supporter is convicted

Judge berates US failures as 9/11 supporter is convicted
By Richard Beeston, Diplomatic Editor



A GERMAN court yesterday convicted a Moroccan student of belonging to the al-Qaeda cell responsible for the attacks on America of September 11, 2001, but acquitted him of direct involvement in the murder of nearly 3,000 people.

Mounir al-Motassadeq, 31, was sentenced to seven years in prison for membership of a terrorist organisation, but the judge ruled that the more serious charges were not proven, in part because of a failure by the US authorities to co-operate with the prosecution.

In a three-hour judgment, read out before a court in Hamburg, Judge Ernst-Rainer Schudt said that the US Justice Department had refused to co-operate fully with the German court.

“How are we supposed to do justice to our task when important documents are withheld from us?” the judge asked.

1. But Judge, those documents have to be with held because they contain
damning evidence to the * administration.

2. Now why would a German judge object to secret evidence?
It's not as though the Germans have any recent experience with this, right?

3. Just one more example of the cover up of 9/11 by the U.S. government

4. "All your 9/11 truth are belong to us." - BushCo
You cannot have a copy of My Pet Goat. National Security -- Terra, Terra, Terra -- demands that we withhold the Super Double Secret Information that is printed in My Pet Goat.

So move along.

But always remember, Big BushCo loves you.

5. The administration does not give a damn about any war on terror!
Those words are empty rhetoric disguising their own illegal agenda of world domination.
