News from the BBC yesterday:
Ahmed Omar Abu Ali gets 30 years for conspiracy.
"Prosecutors had sought a life sentence, but Judge Lee
said that Abu Ali’s actions "did not result in one single actual
victim" and no weapons were found in his possession."
Oh, the horror! He’s been disgraced of all things. In his case we’re talking 10′s of millions of dollars and thousands (at least) of victims.
Please don’t misunderstand me, especially you spooks out there. I am not advocating terrorism nor assassination. But if Ali deserves 30 years, so does Abramoff. Honestly, there’s a far bigger disgrace here than poor Jack Abramoff’s. Hmmm, I wonder how many politicians (on both sides) butts have been saved by such a light sentence.
Remember kiddies, in theocorporate America it is perfectly OK to steal from and for politicians, and even better if it is from those pesky Indians, but you had best not ever even think about assassinating his Highness the President.
