The now defunct muslim charity Holy Land Foundation/several of its leaders were on trial in Texas on numerous charges related to support of terrorism.  Looks like there’s some reasonable doubt. 

One of the nasty little side shows related to the trial is the list of the “unindicted co-conspirators” that included many prominant american muslim organizations such as CAIR and ISNA.   Um, yeah, these people conspired with the baddies, but we can’t prove it in court, so we’re just going to taint your name and not allow you the chance to defend yourself within the legal system.  Despite the mistrial, these organizations are going to be forever tarred with the unindicted co conspirator label for a very long time, much like Imam Siraj Wahhaj is still an unindicted co conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombings. 

I dunno about you, but something seems distinctly unamerican about being not being able to have your day in court to clear your name, and being convicted (in the public’s eye) without a trial.  I guess I’m just an idealist who actually believes that stuff the founders put in the Bill of Rights.  Guess I’m just naive.
