Moussaoui trial lawyer fuck-up is a symptom of a MUCH bigger problem

[Stinky The Clown]

So ..... some dumb-ass lawyer - working for TSA/FaterLand Sekuirty - coaches witnesses and also tells them not to be witnesses for the defense.

As dumb and fucked up as that is - and it could well cost us the conviction of a bad guy who, apparently, **was** part of the 9/11 plot - this lawyer is suffering under the delusion that this government can do whatever the fuck it wants, civil rights and the vaunted 'Rule of Law' be damned.

Any fucking first year law student, not to mention we mere mortals, knows full damned well that witness tampering is a fucking CRIME. And that witness tampering on the part of the prose-fucking-cution is a sure-fire way to garner the bad guy a Get Out of Jail Free card.

But here's the thing. I'll bet a week's pay the lawyer who did this will be the only one blamed and punished for this. And that would be unfair. While she is probably some overzealous, kool aid drinking, young and idealistic right winger, she was likely not acting unilaterally. And even if she was, her actions are the kind that are done when one lives in a bubble of law-breaking and overzealousness.

So ...... file this one in the same file cabinet drawer as the Abu Ghraib punishments.

Ain't the 'War On Terror®' wonderful and fun?
