Exclamation Remember that story about the US lawyer who was involved in the madrid bombings?

Remember that story about the US lawyer who was supposedly involved in the madrid bombings and was brought up in the following thread?

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=161457&perpage=20&highlight=mayfield&pagenumber=6

Hey, what do you know, it was all complete bull****.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/West/05/20/spain.bombings.lawyer.ap/index.html

Apparantly his fingerprints were somehow 'mistaken' for those of someone else.

Well, at least the government was able to make a few suckers fall for this scam and send a message to the US muslim population at the same time.

How strange that SteveStromberg, pwd72s, fintstone and others have not provided an update to this story concidering their earlier opinions concerning its validity.

Whats that old saying about a sucker being born every minute? Nowadays I think its up to about one every several seconds.

Yup! No update? I heard the story only a few hours ago. And I'm still wondering if everything is as our media reports... Do you remember "Mike Hawash"? Also arrested in Portland Oregon...also defended by local supporters who claimed his innocence? Then he struck a plea deal to avoid a life sentence? He was defended by this same lawyer. Hmmm. Me? I'm still suspicious, still waiting. Much as we all may hate the FBI? These guys don't usually go off half cocked.

I agree that it may be too soon to tell. The Spanish claim the prints were someone elses.....the FBI claims they were his. The Spanish "own" the case..so we really had no way to hold him.

Once their investigation regarding the man was leaked..they had to arrest him because of the risk of flight.

And Micheal Savage would be a Nazi who happens to be Jewish. Hey, it happens.

Isn't he the guy who perpetrates hate speech against gays, but turns out that he used to be Alan Ginsburg's lover? Wonder if he's a pitcher or a catcher? I try to consider the source of these witty remarks.

For those who think the feds still have something on this guy besides a bad case of harassment.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/West/05/24/spain.bombings.lawyer.ap/index.html

I just saw on the news that the FBI just apologised to him for his troubles. Hell, I think the last time they apologised to a suspect was to richard jewel after they tried to railroad him for the olympics bombing,

Perhaps so. But I wonder...would he have ever been set free in the Iraq that Saddam ran?

Wow, if you are going to try to be a moral relativist where anything 'better than saddam would have done' is good then I fear for your sense of values and citizen's rights.

You're asking if I support the constitution? If so...I do think I'd support a change in the USA. A new Government. One based on the constitution...
