What A Concept!

Charging someone, and then bringing them to trial...what a novel idea! I wonder who came up with that.

WASHINGTON – U.S. authorities have brought the first Guantanamo Bay detainee to the United States, flying him into New York to face trial for bombing U.S. embassies, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

The department said Ahmed Ghailani arrived in the early morning hours Tuesday. U.S. Marshals took custody of Ghailani from his military jailers and brought him to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. Ghailani is scheduled to appear in Manhattan federal court later Tuesday.

Despite the paranoia of the Congress, it appears that this prisoner has no super-powers, and that the US Marshall Service is fully capable of controlling him, even though (gasp) he is now on mainland soil.
