Ahmed Abu Khattala pleads not guilty
The only fellow that we in custody in regards to the horrendous attack on the Benghazi consulate compound on September 11th, 2012, Ahmed Abu Khattala, has pleaded not guilty, according to the Associated Press;
Abu Khattala’s lawyer, federal public defender Michelle Peterson, said she is waiting for the Justice Department to turn over additional material – much of it classified – on the charges her client faces. The next court date in the case was set for Dec. 9.
Abu Khattala’s lawyer has said previously that the government has failed to show Abu Khattala was connected to the attacks.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael DiLorenzo said the government so far has provided the defense with 150 hours of videotape and 4,000 pages of documents.
The charges against Abu Khattala include murder of an internationally protected person, murder of an officer and employee of the United States and killing a person in the course of an attack on a federal facility.
I don’t see the poor innocent terrorist getting the death penalty, not in our justice system these days. I see the lawyer is already setting up the government for withholding “classified” documents. I wouldn’t give a lawyer any classified documents, either. Informants in Libya would start turning up dead. And that’s the problem of putting these guys through the justice system. Did ISIS put those people who they executed by beheading last month through their courts? Yeah, I know we’re better than they are – but if we treated them like they treat us, this war would be over.

“I don’t see the poor innocent terrorist getting the death penalty…” That’s awfully optimistic, Jonn. I’m not at all certain he’ll be convicted. His arrest was the point getter. The Golfer in Mom jeans will be out of office by the time this trial concludes—or, perhaps, even starts.
A pack of smokes and a Snickers bar could insure that he gets “justice” in the prison exercise yard.
“No sir, I don’t know how he got put in with general population.”
Looks like he could use a shave and a haircut……

I do not mean to be all doom and gloom with you guys, but if that asshole (who looks like a drunken goat on a bourbon binge) is turned loose and returned to the place from which he came, we will spend the next 70 years defending ourselves against him and his ilk.
That is not a joke.
Ex-PH2…Exactly. That’s how I see Obama’s “easy solution, end game” to this guy. Just deport him back to his home.
Of COURSE we’re better than they are.
There should be NO torture, NO interrogations. Instead, only
*ONE SHOT, ONE KILL.*
Then on to the next problem.
Move along nothing to see hear. Just a case of racial profiling. Repeat nothing to see.

Can someone please tell me why terrorists, who aren’t American citizens pretty much 100% of the time (with the exception of a few of these ISIS fucks), are being put through the American legal system?
They’re EPW, they’re not American citizens… They go through the Military Justice system, or none at all and are shot after being drained of information.
Where and under what circumstances a terrorist is taken into US custody partly determines whether he is deemed to be an enemy combatant or just a plain old criminal. On a battlefield, the answer is rather easy. If the terrorist isn’t killed but surrenders or is otherwise captured, he’s pretty certain to be labeled and treated as an enemy combatant. If another terrorist is taken at, say, a hotel in a city where no battle rages, then he is likely to be labeled and treated as a common criminal, albeit one who may have committed mass murder. There is no bright-line test and, as you know, these clowns come from many nations, none of which are we at war with, unless Congress acted when I wasn’t looking. It is rather infuriating to see these rat bastards accorded all of the due process niceties (No, not nice tits!) when we could have left their bodies for the buzzards or, at least in some cases, turned them over to answer to the justice meted out where they were taken. (As for the fact that most of these pukes aren’t Americans, well, all foreign nationals who are arrested in the US are accorded the due process rights of citizens. That’s not unique to the terrorist rat bastards.)
What’s the pool on how much sensitive intel is going to get turned over to the various jihadiscum orgs through this trial?
It’s already happened before.
All info and or intel turned over to the defense is this case must be considered compromised.
If any indigs assisted in the apprehension of this jihadiscum either directly or indirectly, this trial ensures that their days are numbered.
The two issues above are the entire reason for the left wanting jihadiscum tried in our courts.
The ONLY two reasons.
Looks can be deceiving, but this clown “looks” nearly as bright as Richard Reid, the Shoe Bomber.
I’m surprised Eric Injustice Holder isn’t representing him personally.
Obammy would approve.
