Update on Georgia terrorists trial



You must read this article of how the local law enforcement in Georgia handled the investigation and more specifically the interrogation of the 2 suspected Muslim terrorists currently on trial.
Seated in front of a computer, he refused to open a file in his Hotmail account, saying it would betray Sadequee, whom he'd met at the mosque near his house in Midtown. "I cannot really help against a Muslim," Ahmed said.
For anybody who says it isn't about the religion let this bounce around your little brain for awhile.
But a few days later, Ahmed drove to a library in Dawsonville and, not knowing he was under surveillance, sent an e-mail to Sadequee in Bangladesh. Ahmed wrote that he'd "slipped" in the interrogations "due to my own shortcomings in faith." But he said he'd regained his confidence through prayer. Everything would be all right.
The defense attorney is asking the judge to toss out 11 hours of interviews the FBI has on these two because the only reason the defendants would talk is because they thought they would not be arrested, even though on the tapes they talk about what type of attacks they wanted to carry out. So the attorney's basic argument is, sure they admitted to carrying out some attacks but you can't hold that against them, as if talking to an FBI agent is comparable to entering the confessional booth at church. More on this circular logic here.
