Zazi - the terrorist.

[Tangerine]

Not much comment from anyone about this guy, or the story of who he was tracked and caught.

Good reading here: NYT: From smiling vendor to terror suspect - The New York Times- msnbc.com

What say you all about this?

 

[Accountable]

Mr. Zazi, to date, has merely been charged, not proven guilty. And vast passages of his life remain unexplored, facts and experiences that could help explain his embrace of violence or undercut the government’s disturbing portrait of him.

This is a particularly ugly resolution to the conflict between freedom of the press and freedom of privacy, imo. If a person is truly considered innocent until proven guilty, his name, personal information, etc should be protected from the public by the law just as a child's information is protected. If the guy is guilty, grind him feet first into swine kibble. Until that time, he is a citizen worthy of protection.

Do they actually have any evidence or is this all speculation?

I highly doubt he would have been arrested if they had no evidence.

So I guess that thread title should be, "Zazi *Accused* Terrorist".

Govt here arrested terrorist, we hav evidence but they are detained under the Internal Security Act. Detention without trial. Charging them in court is just like saying 'boy dont do that again pls'
