Third trial for 'Liberty 6'

So are their limits to how many times someone can be prosecuted? You might recall this dangerous bunch was rounded up during the infamous terror-scare that coincidentally occurred during the Bush 2004 re-election campaign. The 'Liberty 6' all were equipped with sporty terrorist uniforms, like any good terrorist so we can spot 'em on the street, and then talked about going after the Sears Tower, though it was never entirely clear if they even knew where it was located or how to go about such an attack. For that matter, it was never really clear if this was their intention or if they were just looking for new uniforms.

Never mind the details, the Bush folks had their terrorists in the run up to November 2004, facts be damned. The more terrified the public became, the better the odds of winning the election. Throw in a bit of gay bashing to take it over the top and victory! Ain't democracy great? Hooray for freedom and democracy! U-S-A Number 1! We're the best! We're the best! You know the world all wishes they were this free. You know it.
