Saudi Webmaster Acquitted of Terrorism Charges 909
terrymr writes "Saudi Student Sami Omar Al-Hussayen was found not guilty on charges that he 'rendered techical assistance to terrorists' by acting as the webmaster for an Islamic charity. Said one juror: 'The part that surprised me was when I read the First Amendment instructions. I was surprised to learn that people could say whatever they want... providing it would not cause imminent action.'" You might remember our previous coverage of this story. In addition, the AP (via CNN) has more information as well.

That's because conservatives just get their instructions from Rush and start ditto-ing. No need for discussion, that's too liberal.

They're right now in the "temper tantrum" stage. The Christians embarked on the Crusades at this point in their development.
Ah, you mean they invaded Middle Eastern nations with little justification, a good deal of religious and emotional influence, and a lot of money and politics involved?
Sounds absolutely barbaric.
I'm quite glad that all that is hundreds of years behind us.

Yeah, I don't know how the lawyers let someone intelligent enough to understand the first amendment survive the jury selection process. Usually they weed out such troublemakers....
