Prosecution complex

Who has time for justice? We've got a war on. We'll just accuse a buncha A-rabs of helping Palestinians in a way that might encourage them to support Hamas. Would be better to arrest Fatah for corruption; that helps Hamas, too.

the jury’s verdict called into question the government’s tactics in freezing the assets of charities using secret evidence that the charities cannot see, much less rebut.
I would expect Republicans to completely miss the point and focus, as they always do, on how bad the bad people are, nevermind that they can't seem to identify them, even with all the surveillance and special laws passed in the well-nursed panic of the last six years.

Just like Iraq, they just have to do something, even if it's not on point.
