SF: I neither proposed this defense, nor helped him plan it. I am merely repeating what he told me he plans to do at trial. I think this justification defense originated in the minds of all those people throughout the world who can see America for what it is, rather than what we, as Americans, would like to believe it to be.
TP: During these interviews, you have made it clear that the government is controlling the legal process. You have stated that the Obama administration is determined to put on a "show trial" that will convict, then kill the detainees. If that is the case, then why would the government allow the detainees to plead not guilty?
SF: Because the government has no
choice. Defendants always have the right to plead not guilty and
there is nothing the government can do about that. In addition, the
trial itself will serve as an excellent platform for the government
propaganda machine. You should expect at least two years of
fear-mongering, flag-waving, drum-beating, and Islam-baiting. We'll
all be in quite a frenzy by the time it's over. The only question
left will be "so who do we invade next". The guilty
verdicts will be quite anti-climatic and will be merely a prelude to
further aggressive foreign policy initiatives.
