Our court system is a complete joke and hypocritical if these terrortist cowards do not walk. In fact, they should be flown home at tax payer expense with a most sincere apology. These guys have rights...as all defendants do in American Courts. They are also presumed innocent.
These guys were never Mirandized, they were never given access to legal counsel and they never had their God (allah) given 5th Amendmaent rights explained to them. As a result ALL statements made and all information obtained should be suppressed. Their 6th Amnendment right to a speedy trail was shattered, they were arrested without a warrant and I am sure their homes and electronic device were seized and searched illegally. Their 4th amendment rights were also violated. It will not take Jonny Chochran, Robert Shapiro and Barry Sheck to get these guys off, a first year law student should have these guys home for Ramadan.
I just hope I am not in the first patrol/convoy that gets hit by an IED one of these poor guys sets.
