Between Hammer And Anvil - Moussaoui

[dArKeR]

Now federal prosecutors in the case of Zacarias Moussaoui really are caught between the hammer and the anvil. The judge for the zany terror suspect has finally made explicit an official perception about the case that has long been implied: The government probably has overreached by seeking the death penalty against a man who may not have committed the specific crimes with which he has been charged.

There is precious little room for positive prosecutorial spin after U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema declared in an order unsealed Wednesday that there are witnesses who "could provide material and favorable testimony" on behalf of the defense that, "at a minimum ... would eliminate the possibility of a death sentence, and could exculpate him from the specific conspiracies charged in this case."

Sure, the judge hasn't declared Moussaoui innocent. And, sure, the Justice Department likely will appeal the judge's ruling, hoping that the conservative 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reverses her decision to allow Moussaoui some sort of testimonial access to more and more al Qaeda leaders.

Why can't WE file charges against Bush for Treason, AWOL, Conspiracy to Commit Terrorism, Harken Insider Trading, Texas Rangers Land/Stadium deal, Forced/Distressed Abortions Forced on Girlfriends, (New Charges Against Wife Laura for Murder of Boyfriend), Lying to Ameircan People about 9/11 and Iraq..... with the same type of evidence Federal Prosecutors are using against Moussaoui? Surely we'd have enough evidence to keep Bush locked up in solitary confinement for 10 years.
