This wonderful specimen of a human being (cough) has now pleaded Not Guilty to 11 charges of terrorism, including one of trying to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon.
This man has cost the British legal aid system millions in legal aid. Not to mention the cost of keeping him in prison.
Glad you're around to share the burden. He's working your legal aid system now.
I gather he isn't to be sent to your special holiday camp in the sun. Pity, he might like it there.
A small island in the middle of a shark-infested ocean would be a good alternative.
I have no doubt that some in the US will attempt to make a political point out of it. But who, and what point ... maybe both sides will claim (?) him.
He might try to claim asylum. He did in the UK, on the basis that his human rights would be breached if sent back to Jordan (where he's a native of) because they might torture him.
There's a saying in law that "he who seeks equity must come with clean hands" - don't beg for fairness if you haven't been fair - one can only guess at how many other people's human rights have been breached by and as a result of the (alleged) actions of this man, and others of his ilk. Young men corrupted, others killed, blackmailed or injured; many innocent victims of deliberate killings and bombings; and the damage to the families of those folks.
Big fish. The judge today set his trial date for August 2013. He's not been allowed to wear his hook hand while in court, and has only limited access to it while locked up.

He claims to be mentally unfit to plead. Poor soul.

I'm not sure what you mean by asylum.
HERE is how Homeland Security defines it.
