View Full Version : Lawyers will be the end of us

This article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A20028-2003Nov28?language=printer) shows that lawyers will likely be what destroys us. Its about this guy that has been in cusstody since 9/11 who had come here a few months prior to 9/11 and he was given a visa when he came and he overstayed it and all of his papers seemed to have all the earmarks of someone associated with the terrorists, and so he was detained. He was almost overlooked by the system, which I know isnt perfect, but after reading the article, see that lawyers will stop at nothing to try and get $$ from their own government. But whats the cost? I believe that this kind of reaction by lawyers will eventually force us to lower our strictness on who we allow into our country and prevent us from detaining someone who seems very suspicious and eventually, we will not be allowed to proptect out own people. Im not saying that this guy wasnt inapropriatly detained or his civil rights werent violated, but what were we suppose to do? Think about the atmosphere on the day and days after 9/11. Its only here that lawyers would do this tuff. If it were us and we happened to be in Algeria on tha day of an attack on their country, I seriously doubt that lawyers in Algeria would come to our defense if we seemed connected to their attackers.

It's November 29, 2003. As on November 16, 2001, this guy was cleared of any terrorist charges. He is still in jail.
The fact that we have a consititution, and a judicial system that upholds it is part of what makes this country great.
I disagree with what you've written on so many levels that I cannot gather my thoughts.
Maybe I've read a different article than you have.

like silera, i'm not sure what the hell you are trying to say...
but after reading the article, see that lawyers will stop at nothing to try and get $$ from their own government. But whats the cost? I believe that this kind of reaction by lawyers will eventually force us to lower our strictness on who we allow into our country and prevent us from detaining someone who seems very suspicious and eventually, we will not be allowed to proptect out own people.first off, this has nothing to do with lawyers. it's about rights. the same rights that this guy was willing to go awol and leave his country for. i guess that's a little ironic.
no one is saying that people suspected of being terrorists or being affiliated with terrorist groups can't be detained, questioned, and investigated. and that's even now, when things are much less frenzied as they were right after 9/11. but the country's need to do this does not preclude it from affording basic human rights to these people in the process. these guarantees are what make this country great. so, if the original post was trying to be patriotic or something, i think i missed the point.

Where's the confusion?
He's merely saying that we need to lock up the innocent.
The more we can get away from the liberties so many have fought and died for and the closer to practices of brutal dictators, the better.
Perfectly understandable.
We all know that only guilty people get arrested. Besides getting rid of the lawyers, why not get rid of the judges, and also stop wasting money on juries while we're at it?

Ok, prepare to hate me.
I agree he should have been removed from the US after the FBI were done with him. but let's get one thing straight, he has no rights. According to IMAC 90 and the Immigration Reform Act of 96, those who are admitted to the US legally and didn't obtain that admittance through fraud have limited civil rights here. Once someone overstays their visa, or their status is revoked, they have no civil rights, none. the constitution does not apply here people. sucks I know, but quit the bitching about the civil rights violations, there are none here.
Now, that being said, I do and at the same time don't agree with the two pieces of legislations here. They're a good idea and have served the country well, but after 9-11 they've begun to be abused. Just like the Patriot act was a good idea at first, eventually it's been abused.
This guy's been fucked by the US.

The only crimes I see him breaking are immigration laws. They can deport him back to Algeria where his fate will be to sit in a prison cell there and probably get real torture. When the guy gets out he'll probably be deported.

he won't get out, he'll go striaght from the cell to the plane.
But now here's an interesting twist the government could employ to keep him even longer. Since this guy's facing a lenghty jail time at home, and possibly worse, the US cannot deport him. See, we cannot deport someone to a place where they may face human rights violations(ironic huh?)
So they could set this guy up for an asylum hearing. Those used to take years, now I can't imagine how long they take.

Um, are you people for real? You really think that this is the way any of us would be treated in any other country? What I was saying (and here I have to always always explain what I mean, and I cant for the life of me not see why this concept is so far beyond your grasps..) Eventually, because of this kind of action by lawyers (yes, lawyers) we will not be allowed to detain anyone, even if they are caught red handed, or even seen/videotaped doing a crime. I said I dont think this guy got treated right, but by your collective reaction, its obvious you feel that we should have just let him go. He broke the law, plain and simple. He just had picked a real bad time to do it. This is going to turn out that we really didnt have a case against him, but what would have happened if we had let him go and it later turned out he was connected? What would you say then? This is a way of having safeguards to protect us, and if we eliminate this, what will we have?

I never said he shouldnt be let go, obviously he is innocent, but what Im saying (rather plainly, I might ad) is that if we continue to act as if everyone who seems like they are guilty are just let wander around and never attemt to find out their story or if they are connected to terrorists, then it is US who are being foolish. Im all for him being let go (where did it look like I said he should be perpetually detained???...anyone??), I just have to question why his very being detained is causing an issue with anyone. Until somone is shown to not be affiliated with these groups, Im all for erring on the side of caution. The way most of you are coming off is like your upset with cops who find a building on fire and a guy running out with gas cans and matches and your all upset that they arrest him and hold him in custody until they find out what the story was. I didnt say anywhere that this man should be kept in jail forever. Im upset that the system that is suppose to protect us is being worn down with lawsuits. Many people keep saying that there aught to be laws for this or that, and the truth is, there ARE laws, but its the efforts of greedy minded people who seek to prevent the implementation of these laws that results the degredation of our society.

Like TooCute said, how long can we "err" someone? You're vague on this...three years? Five? Ten? Fifteen? What's the deal here? Who's to say we'll EVER be 100% sure this guy is OK? Why let him out at all if that's the case? This is why these new laws and rulings need to be clearly defined, and they're far from it at this point.

You really think that this is the way any of us would be treated in any other country?like too cute said, we're not talkin about "any other country". what does that have to do anything? just because other countries don't afford rights to people, we shouldn't either? geez, talk about peer pressure.
and here I have to always always explain what I mean, and I cant for the life of me not see why this concept is so far beyond your graspson behalf of everyone, i apologize for not having the capacity to grasp the completely illogical. and i'll just leave that whole double negative uncommented upon.
Eventually, because of this kind of action by lawyers (yes, lawyers) we will not be allowed to detain anyone, even if they are caught red handed, or even seen/videotaped doing a crime. maybe my reading comprehension is not what it once was, but i'm confused. what's the "action by lawyers" that you're referring to? my best guess is that you mean the lawyers from the lawyers committe for human rights. based on my reading, they said that they are opposing the holding of detainees without providing them a lawyer. no one's talking about letting them go before they are cleared or not detaining them at all.
Im upset that the system that is suppose to protect us is being worn down with lawsuits. Many people keep saying that there aught to be laws for this or that, and the truth is, there ARE laws, but its the efforts of greedy minded people who seek to prevent the implementation of these laws that results the degredation of our society it seems to me that these lawyers are concerned with constitutional guarantees. maybe it's just that i'm still a somewhat naive law student, but i believe in things like that, too. what laws are you talking about? is there one more important than the constitution? last i checked, any law contrary to the constitution's provisions is struck down. these are lawyers trying to do precisely what you are condemning them for not doing, namely attempting to implement the supreme law of our country. how you can fault them for that, and then equate that with their trying to prevent such implementation, confuses me more than anything else you've said. and that's saying a lot.
I said I dont think this guy got treated right, but by your collective reaction, its obvious you feel that we should have just let him go.ok, first, who said that we should have just let him go? the only thing that i saw in this thread was people saying that he should have been let go just a little sooner once it was determined that he was not affiliated with the terrorist groups. you say that you agree with that, as well, so i'm not really sure what you're trying to say.
I just have to question why his very being detained is causing an issue with anyoneit's not causing an issue with anyone. again, i dont know that anyone took issue with his being detained initially. i don't think anyone questions our country's need to detain those who might pose such a threat to all of our safety. the only issue is what happened subsequent to his being cleared of any terrorist affiliation.

Do you have to be this simple-minded? Thousands of Americans travel to Iran every year and they are not beaten or killed. I know people who have lived there. The State Dept. has a travel warning for the border regions along Iraq, Afghanistan and Baluchistan and that's it. You can't just make shit up based on your simplistic assumptions and present it as evidence. Americans are safe travelling to most of the Arab world. If that doesn't fit in with your simplistic view of the world then drop the xenophobic bullshit and do some homework before you post.
As for beating innocent Muslims just for being Muslims to make a point to terrorists, it would have the opposite effect. Grow up.

Seeing as he was an Algerian Air Force Lieutenant at the time he came over here, he would probably be deported back to Algeria. Of course if he gets back to Algeria he will probably be Court-martialed for desertion.
He remains behind bars, awaiting a deportation hearing, unable to post a $25,000 bond.
There are plenty of people over here that can't make bail. Being unable to make bail money is not a violation of his rights. If they wanted to hold him in custody as a material witness they could hold him indefinitely if they thought he was a flight risk.

You're not afforded a lawyer in immigration proceedings. There are such things a simmigration lawyers, but all they do is file the overly complicated paperwork that's involved.

It's either jail here or jail in Algeria for desertion. Of course he could have tried to immigrate legally when he first came over here under his visa.

Fine, you just gave two options that aren't being chosen. Either charge and try the guy officially or toss him out. This wishy-washy wallowing leading to amibguous and indefinite jailtime is NOT a good thing.

Maybe we should take a cue from Back to the Future 2 and get rid of all Lawyer.
Then the future will be bright ;p

Well first, immigration charges are criminal, but what you're refering to is 18 USC charges. The article doesn't refer to anything 18 USC. He was picked up trying to enter Canada after his US visa expired. that's it.
Of course he could have tried to immigrate legally when he first came over here under his visa.
it's not that simple. He may not have been able to adjust his status here to legal. He has to have someone(individual or in cased corperation) sponsor him. it's not just a matter of walking into federal plaza and filing paperwork.
Unless they're offering amnesty, but that's rare.

He was picked up trying to enter Canada after his US visa expired. that's it.all i know is that the article talked about both the criminal lawyer and the immigration lawyer (which he didnt have yet). they were discussed as separate things. and you were talking about how people dont have the right to an immigration lawyer. maybe it's just semantics, but i don't know...
