I do not recall any 911 terrorists that were U.S. citizens. In fact, the only U.S. terrorist that comes to mind was a white guy named McVeigh.
-
So he's being detained as a material witness. What has he said? what has his wife and children said? Oh I forgot the friends of this character said there's a GAG order in place, how convieniant. Where are is wife and children? Who wrote this story? Who is sponsering this rally? Why do they need money? Where will this money go? If released will they greet him open arms or is someone waiting to assassinate him because they're afraid he may have talked?
Clearly a left wing wacko attempt to break the very fabric of this great nation.

ACLU of Oregon Criticizes Use of Material Witness Law to Detain U.S. Citizen
April 3, 2003
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PORTLAND - The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon today criticized the U.S. Justice Department’s use of the material witness statute to detain Maher "Mike" Hawash, a resident of nearby Hillsboro.
"The use of material witness warrants and attorney gag orders has been part of the Justice Department’s campaign of detention and secrecy targeting Muslim and Arab Americans during the past 18 months," said David Fidanque, Executive Director of the ACLU of Oregon
"The material witness process was designed to be used in cases where there is a great risk that a witness may flee the jurisdiction to avoid testifying," he added, noting that Hawash is a U.S. citizen with strong ties to the local community. "It is designed to preserve evidence, not to indefinitely detain individuals who haven’t been charged with a crime."
FBI agents and members of the Portland Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested Hawash on March 20; he is reportedly being held in solitary confinement at the federal prison in Sheridan.
At the same time Hawash was arrested in a parking lot at Intel Corporation, where he works, agents searched his home and served his wife, Lisa Hawash, with a grand jury subpoena.
According to a November 2002 Washington Post story on the use of material witness warrants, more than 40 people have been detained by the Justice Department since September 11, 2001. As of that time, seven of those were U.S. citizens. Federal trial courts have differed on whether the Justice Department’s actions comply with the law or the Constitution.
Fidanque said the ACLU believes the Justice Department is using the law to "bring the full weight of the U.S. government down on individuals and their families to coerce them into doing whatever the government wants."
"All of this has been shrouded in secrecy," Fidanque said. "Since the Justice Department won’t release any information and the lawyers of those who have been detained are under gag orders, there is no way for the public to evaluate whether these unprecedented measures are justified.
What we do know is that our Constitution was designed to prevent government officials from secretly snatching individuals, holding them in isolation for weeks and frightening their families."
"If someone is suspected of a crime, go ahead and arrest him if you have the evidence. If you need someone to testify before a grand jury, give him a subpoena and let him testify."
Friends and co-workers of Hawash have established a website related to his case, which can be found at http://www.freemikehawash.org
Mike Hawash was born in Nablus on the West Bank and was raised in Kuwait before emigrating to the U.S. in 1984. He became a citizen in 1988 after receiving his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas. He has lived in Hillsboro since 1992 and has been a software design employee and contractor for Intel since that time. He and his wife are raising three children.

So because you havent heard about them doesnt mean they arent any. And there been many US "terrorists" that werent white. Look it up.
You link us to biased site that contains very little info other then propaganda designed to elicit funds and maybe some mild "outrage". Big Deal.
Q. Why is Mike being detained?
A. According to press reports citing the Mike is being detained as a “material witness,” but his friends and the public have been given no further explanation or detail of the reasons for his detention. Mike's and Lisa's attorneys are working under a court seal -- a "gag order", which also applies to other people in the justice system. So far, any proceedings that have occurred have been sealed, so we have no way to find out the reason for Mike's detention. No one has told us why he is being held.
What injustice are you speaking about. The fact you are uninformed as to why he his held?
Our information is that material witness detentions are legitimate for the purposes of securing testimony when the witness with material information is either a flight risk or a danger to the community.
Q. What is a “material witness?”
A. This is defined as any person who may have information pertaining to a criminal investigation for the purpose of testifying before a grand jury or during a criminal proceeding. A federal judge must determine whether the person is, in fact, a material witness and whether he may be detained. Detainment is supposed to be required only if there is a risk of flight or danger.
Oh the injustice of it all :rolleyes:
-
That press release is nothing but spin like that website. They dont know why he is being held. A federal judge ordered him held as well as the gag order. Justice is working just likes its supposed to. The burden is on the government to show why he needs to be held and a judge agreed with him.
You are linking and quoting folks who werent a part of that process and have no idea about the facts.
Again big deal.
-
It doesn't trouble you that someone can be arrested and detained without public disclosure?
It doesn't seem the least bit un-Constitutional?
Wow... you guys worry me. You really do.
-
What right do you have to "public disclosure". The guy has a lawyer, a judge agreed with governments position and ordered him held. Thats "due process".
-

According to Hawash's employer, Steven McCready, no one knows why he is being held, not Hawash, not his wife, nor his attorney.
This is due process?

From that sites FAQ.
quote from one of the sites you linked
Hawash’s attorneys can’t discuss the case because they are bound by a federal gag order. Hawash’s wife, Lisa, won’t talk about it because she fears repercussions.
I have read each link you posted on this and it would seems his attorneys are informed but bound by the gag order. He has a lawyer and he has went before a federal judge. Thats as good as it gets.
I really dont care what his employer or advocates say as they arent privy to any more info.
Feel free to work yourself up over it.

Of coarse not, welcome to the new Amerika (since 9-11). Goose-stepping optional. I guess the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are just written words on paper with no real meaning. By all means let's continue modifying it....until it no longer supports liberty and freedom. :rolleyes:

Gee thanks Dad.

I think before I whine about it I'll wait and find out why they went to all the trouble to detain him.

He is not detained in expectation of criminal charges. Hes detained as a "material witness". The Supreme Court of the US allows "material witnesses" to held until they testify. Its not against constitution or any law.
our founding fathers are probably rolling in their graves now
They already spun themselves into dust during Lincoln's presidency. If not FDR and Johnson finished them off.
Never has "original intent" been a part of our legal system. So whatever the "founding fathers" originally intended means nothing. The founding fathers never intended for a federal of the size and scope we have now.
A liberal bringing up original intent is comical any way.
Theres nothing illegal immoral or unconstutional about this guys current treatment. His wife admits he has given money to an organization that funnels money to terrorists. They have confiscated his computer and some financial records. But the fact you dont know why hes held is immaterial. The government is well within its rights and a federal judge has to agree with them.

NononononNO!! He should be allowed to do whatever bad things he wants until he's found guilty and sentenced to 20 lashes with a wet noodle by liberal judge.
-
I'm not a lawyer, but it sure sounds like a violation of his 4th Amendment rights.
The lawyers at the ACLU certainly believe there are Constitutional "issues" with this case.
Whatever it is... a government that siezes people for secret reasons can't be a good thing, IMHO.

The ACLU doesnt defend the constitution, they defend a liberal view of the world.
This guys isnt the first guy held as a "material witness". Wheres all the law suites?
If theres all the violations going on why are judges allowing the detentions?
Is all part of the massive right wing conspiracy to bring forth a police state?
The truth is out there and seems you believe you have it cornered.
Which one of us is next.....ohh its scary........:o
-
The Justice Department will not release any figures on witness detentions linked to terrorism investigations.
I wonder why.
-
Sandman what evidence do you have that this man did nothing to warrant his detention?
What evidence do ytou have a judge approved his detention without sufficent consideration.
What relevance is it that he has a family, a job a wife and kids or is a citizen? Are you saying any of these factors preclude anyone from engaging in terrorism activities or betraying his country?
-
Got a flaw in your logic... proving the existance of nothing.
Put it this way... the judicial process is typically a public one. Warrants, indictments, etc are all matter of public record. Being incarcerated for secret reasons is the kind of crap they pulled in Germany, circa 1940. It's wrong.
-
Then go ahead and prove the existance of "something" that says he does not deserve his detention...
You know the public does not have the right to know everyting all the time there are plenty of secrets in sensitive cases now and there always have been...
You just wanna make a martyr of him because you are a liberal and he is a muslim of color- cant beat that combo, hell I bet you creamed in your pants when you came across this case. Victim! Victim! Victim!
You know Sandman there are terrorists who dont look like Tim McVeigh - yea sorry to break that to ya...
-
His color is irrelevant.
-
It isn't a liberal thing, nor is it a conservative thing. It's a civil liberties thing. It's one important thing that sets this country apart from communist and facist totalitarian regimes.
Presumed innocent until proven guilty is a powerful concept. Seems we're entering a phase of presumed guilty until proven innocent. Very un-American if you ask me.
-
...but Saburo, earlier it was stated that civil liberties are a liberal thing, they don't obviously apply to conservatives. :)

These people are at least charged with a crime.
-
And he is being held as material witness, thats a different classifaction - no charges need to be filed as I understand it..
-
It's a convenient label, but the man is still being held without a charge, without bail and without due process.
-
Originally posted by GRUNHERZ

Big difference. They are usually charged w/in the first 48-72 hours. Given their Miranda rights and given the right of councel. They are given the right to a speedy trial and in most cases (where flight risk is minimal* and not a threat to the public) they are given an opportunity to post bail until their court appearance. Most importantly those cases are public record.
Why is it necessary for you to go on the "offensive" and attack the messenger instead of arguing the issues? Are your points not strong enough to stand on their own? I don't know the person arrested. I do not care about his religeous beliefs. I do not care about his cultural/racial background.
What I care about is a fellow American citizen being detained without charges for a undetermined amount of time by our government. The fact that you and some others fail to see that is very frustrating indeed. Get over the fact that I happen to care about our Constitution, Bill of rights, and Civil Liberties for ALL AMERICANS.
**********
john9001,
You care to name even one communist nation that had/has civil liberties? Don't hold your breath searching for your answer.
Now suppose you give examples of how the ACLU is trying to strip us of our civil liberties and push us towards a communist totalitarian state.
*edited to add 'is minimal'
-
Where have I made any personal attacks in this thread?
The cosest I got to it is saying that liberals tend to fawn over certain special "victims" groups. Surely thats something you can tolerate as a general concept and take is an insult.
-
Bullchit, just as irrelevent that he is a mulsim and and arab... It makes an extra special victim for you...
You somehow need to twist around facts. Where did Sandman say he was concerned because of race and religion?
But it is sooo important for you to put your spin on arguments just so you can argue against your own statements that you somehow attribute to those you argue with.
-
It does matter to liberals, look how how he immdeiately pointed out that a white man Tim McVeigh was a terrorist - in a thread where he argues that an arab muslim man is wrongly held under suspicion of teeorism. The implication is that this man is wrongly victimized becaiuse he is an arab and a muslim.
I do not recall any 911 terrorists that were U.S. citizens. In fact, the only U.S. terrorist that comes to mind was a white guy named McVeigh.

Perhaps he was responding to john9001's post:
another "sleeper" gats caught
Seems john was implying that this American being detained was somehow part of Al Quaida being part of a "sleeper cell" because he happens to be possibly muslim and is an Arab-American. John9001 first implied the connection, not Sandman.
Looked like Sandman was responding that the actual terrorists of 9/11 were not Americans. He did state to john9001 about Tim McVeigh to perhaps refocus his attention that it's not only Arab-Americans we should be watching out for (After all it was Timothy McVeigh being responsible for the biggest terrorist attack against America by an American).
Sandman implies that a fellow American may be wrongly detained under the current situation regardless of his background and/or his beliefs.
Let's cut to the chase:
You say it's okay to detain indefinitely and without charges some fellow Americans without due process.
I say it is wrong. Even if it was you, john9001, or any "anti-civil liberties" person being detained.

Why the need to paint with a broad brush? Do you even know the definition of "liberal" and "conservative"? Show me a post where your defined "liberals" show support of actual terrorists because of their being arab and/or muslim? Again, another "argument" made up attributing it to the "liberals" here.
Show me where "liberals" here supported the 9/11 terrorists. Osama Bin Laden?
Your stating it so doesn't make it so.

An update to this...
Mike Hawash (who, quite mysteriously, looked nothing like the picture posted on the linked websight because the site authors believed that his current appearance would cause people to jump to conclusions) plead guilty to conspiring to fight U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. The group he was with attempted to get into Afghanistan through China but were unable to because of restrictions. All 7 plead guilty.
Not a single website listed in this thread (or via google search) mentions the guilty plea nor the evidence and the charges.
MiniD
-
thanks for the update.
The question is "How will Sandman rationalize his guilty plea?"
-
Why was he held as a material witness at first then? Why not charge him with a crime straightaway?
-
Maybe he claimed to have info about the others?
Hmmm what a ****ing scumbag.
-
to paraphrase that blond singer with the squeaky voice........"he's not so innocent"

Not exactly true..... The judicial system has been giving deference to the government. However, the government has lost several "motions" before the court.
And the Supreme court will make a decision concerning the detainees... which means the claims that citizens are not getting their "due process" are with merit.... are significant enough to be considered and have the Supreme court step in to clarify and put to rest the legality of what the government is doing.

-
even if he is guilty for whatever. The man is a US citizen and if his rights were violated in anyway or he did not recieve due process someone needs to pay for that. This isnt nazi germany( as many of you would like it to be minus the jew killing), your innocent untill proven guilty.
-
That guy wasn't a "detainee" he was held as a material witness. Ultimately, he was charged, confessed and plead guilty to a "real crime". The fact that the public wasnt made aware of why he was being held as a material witness has no bearing on those "detainees" mentioned in the article you linked.

His guilt or innocence is irrelevent. It is not OK for our government to take away our rights without due process.
-
MT see my thread, he is being held with no due process.
This guy was held as a witness, and was indeed a witness, why is that wrong?
-
Actually MT... everything they did was legal. The fact that those around simply realize it is the thing that seems to be irrelevant.
When arresting a group of people, things are handled differently than when arresting an individual. The evidence is what was presented to a judge that ruled he could be held as a material witness. The rest is simply sentimental ****.
MiniD
-
If he was accorded due process then we are in agreement. My point was towards those crowing about the guilty plea.
Like I said, his guilt is irrelevent "If he wasn't given due process."
And no, I'm not trying to do the Ripsnort shuffle here.
-
If you had read the links provided by Sandman it’s clear he was given "due process". A federal judge ordered he could be held as a "material witness" and for whatever reason the judge then put a gag order on everything and everyone around it. He had a lawyer; his lawyer was "informed".
We can speculate that the government used the "material witness" as a means to get him to talk or they may have actually thought he new something and had that got out it could have compromised an on going investigation. However, you choose to speculate is up to you.
One thing is clear; those involved knew a lot more then the rest of us.
The reason his guilty plea is of interest is because it flies in the face of all those who portrayed this guy as an innocent victim who suffered at the hands of an unjust government.
-
The only people arguing "due process" were those that had no involvement with the case. His atourney didn't even bring this up.
I find it funny that the web site linked in the initial thread is still up despite being seriously misleading. I find it odd that a seach of this subject on the net doesn't turn up a single "oops... our bad" or anything but more baseless exageration.
It's pretty symbolic of everything being posted in the O'Club right now. Post what we want to believe is true and if it doesn't really pan out... pretend we didn't.

A true terrorism fighter:
(from the guilty plea) A. On July 4, 1999, President Clinton issued Executive Order 13129, which prohibited United States persons from, among other things, making any contribution of services to or for the benefit of the Taliban, and from supplying, directly or indirectly, any services to the Taliban or to the territory of Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban. That prohibition was continued in subsequent years and was in effect at all times relevant to the Superseding Indictment. At all times relevant to the Superseding Indictment, defendant HAWASH was a United States citizen and therefore he was a United States person as defined in 31 C.F.R. ? 545.315.

Ah... that is a bit odd seeing as how he linked the site on April 4th right after it was created.
I do enjoy the condemnation by the site authors for those who would pass judgement based on Mike's beard. When, in fact, it was they who decided not to post the picture because it portrayed him in a bad light.
And Saburo... your scathing comment on those who "knew" he was guilty holds no more weight than your defense of those who "knew" he wasn't receiving due process. There was substantial evidence. A judge made the decision based on that evidence. A guilty plea was issued because of that evidence.
Feel free to look for another case to try and prove whatever point it is you're going after. Simply throw this one into the "doesn't prove my point" pile and note that you still haven't put anything in the "I was wrong" pile.
