Next time I hear some wingnut blathering on about how great this country is, I'll talk about what happened to Dr. Al Arian. If these injustices can happen to him, they can happen to any of us.

Excellent series: very persuasive arguments from the juror. Thanks. Dr. al-Arian is indeed a principled man, shamelessly treated by the Justice Department. The prosecutors are the ones who should be investigated.
