the ACLU drops the ball on Achmed. they stood by him in the Spring of 2004 when he protested against Abu Graib, but when he was arrested and charged with "going jihad" by U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft in 2004, where was the ACLU?
I was not in Nashville anymore. Perhaps we relied too strongly on the fact that the ACLU would be there for Ahmed. I mean they came to his aid once, by why not another time? On October 24, 2005Ahmed was sentencd to five years prison with a possibility of deportation. He chose to plead guilty instead of face the wrath of Americans plagued by FOX-news induced anti-Islamist sentiment at the time.
I'm not blaming the ACLU ... many other factors could have played a part in this, but why were the factors different?
