DETROIT - The Detroit terrorism case has gone from a major victory in the Bush administration's war on terror to what a federal judge has described as "a fine kettle of fish."

In the seven months since three men were convicted in Detroit in the nation's first trial to result from the federal 9/11 terror probe, federal prosecutors and FBI agents are being scrutinized for possible misconduct and a federal judge is deciding whether to throw out the convictions.

"I've never seen anything like this," said David Moran, a Wayne State University law professor and former state appellate defender. "When prosecutors are accused of withholding evidence, the normal response is to circle the wagons and to defend their guys. But that's not happening here."<snip>

1. Has there been a single "terrorist" case that hasn't gone belly-up?

Could it be that the whole "terrorist" bit is a scam? Including the probably bogus "terrorist" attack on 9-11. It's just like a chep Arnode movie....crazy Arabs trying to destroy Amerika and the world. The Bush Crime Family isn't obstructing the investigation of 9-11, the energy papers and the lies they told to start the Iraq war for nothing.
