Meanwhile, in another part of the gulag forest….
The Florida-based Palestinian academic who was tried and found not guilty of any offence, but who was forced make a risible plea deal with federal prosecutors just to get out of near-Gitmo remand conditions is now indefintely locked up in maximum security for contempt, at the whim of a pet judge, mostly because he could cause some embarasssment to the Chimperor and First Brother Jeb.
Do read this interview: the story’s worthy of Kafka at his most convoluted, but unfortunately it’s not fiction. Remember that this is an innocent man and he’s just one person that this has happened to. His story is only being told because he is a well-known academic, has contacts in the persistent left-wing media, a good lawyer and is able to be eloquent in his own cause.
How many more, less prominent people have been similarly locked up and abused for being politically inconvenient don’t we know about?
