KSM Grills Gitmo Judge, "are you Part of Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson's Groups?" Ramzi Binalshibh Says he "has a Jewish Name".....

Amazingly, the judge sits back and takes the abuse. Take some control of your courtroom.....

The man accused of being the architect of September 11 has turned the tables on a Guantanamo judge by demanding to know whether he is an "extremist".

Mohammed, acting as his own attorney, asked Marine Colonel Ralph Kohlmann about his views on religion and torture at an unusual pre-trial hearing of five accused September 11 co-conspirators.

"We are well-known as extremists and fanatics, and there are also Christians and Jews that are very extremist," Mohammed told the judge.

"If you, for example, were part of Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson's groups, then you would not at all be impartial towards us," he said, referring to U.S. evangelical Christian leaders who have denounced Islam as violent.

Kohlmann replied that he did not belong to a congregation.

"When I have attended church, I was a member of various Lutheran churches and Episcopal churches, and I have not attended any of them for a long time because I have moved so often," the judge said.

Kohlmann dismissed as "inaccurate," an assertion by co-defendant Ramzi Binalshibh that he had a "Jewish name."

Kohlmann was also asked about how he followed news coverage on the day of the attacks and replied that his memory was imprecise.

He also said he had no opinion on the facts of the September 11 incident, which triggered President George Bush's "war on terror."

Binalshibh, Mohammed and three other defendants -- Mustafa Ahmed al Hawsawi, Walid bin Attash and Ali Abdul Aziz Ali -- are charged with conspiring with al Qaeda to kill civilians in the attacks.

Hey Zip,

You were looking for better humor, check out story on WSAZ.com Man farts on cop & gets charged with battery. No word on if he is an alien. But it seems he is a wet crack.

Judge "Kohlmann was also asked about how he followed news coverage on the day of the attacks and replied that his memory was imprecise". Hmmm...I rather suspect the good judge was being diplomatic.

In the back of his mind I'd like to believe these were his thoughts: "I sat there in front of a television just as hundreds of millions of others did. I watched helpless as innocent people were slaughtered. I burned with rage and hatred for an unnamed and unknown enemy. Since that day I have learned the name of the enemy and now know his identity. And I'm looking into the eyes of one now....next question...."

KSM is going to get a fair trial. And then we're gonna kill him.

since when do attorneys (even the self appointed ones) interrogate the judge?....
