Bin Laden's son-in-law who is alleged to have been involved in 9/11. I
think a suspended sentence is appropriate for this one.

Back in a few minutes. I got to buy a rope to suspend him from. ;)

I'm sure some rope manufacturer could be convinced to donate
the required length of hempen cordage for this purpose.

And-uh let the ACLU try and stop that like they've attempted with
lethal injection.

But fundamentally this turd belongs in Gitmo. In fact by law he's
supposed to be there. If Soetaro and his stooges blow this one
impeach every single stinking one of them including that dawg
of his.

Maybe we'll finally get a proper trial for 9/11.
