Of particular concern was the content of Mr. Johnson's e-mails, which contained derogatory comments about federal officials.
Of course, this is the way the US government loves to operate. Convict people on bullshit, get them "in the system," and then impose conditions of probation which prohibit them from exposing what was done to them. Both the Jim Bell and Carl Johnson trials were examples of this method in action. We'll see a lot more of such antics in the "terrorism" trials of the many current detainees. They will be convicted of bullshit, like transposing two digits of their social security numbers, or failing to report they were unemployed on a savings account application. They won't be able to defend themselves on terrorism charges, because they won't be on trial for it. Then, in the sentencing phase, the government will get to say anything it likes about the person being a terrorist, with no opposing point of view able to be presented, and the 30 year sentences will be rolled out. It's the new AmeriKKKa, where everyone is guilty of something. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:. Mathematical Munitions Division "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law"
