On Thursday, November 18, 2010, Sean Hannity called the trial of terrorist Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani a miserable failure:
Here's the reality:
Embassy plotter sentenced to life

LA Times
WASHINGTON….Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was sentenced Tuesday in New York to life in prison for his role in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa – making him the first terrorist to be plucked from the prison camp at the U.S. Naval Base on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and successfully prosecuted in a civilian court.
The term of life without parole likely will boost the argument of the Obama administration, eager to close the Caribbean military prison and move prisoners to civilian courts in the U.S., that terrorists can safely be tried, convicted and sentenced in a U.S. civilian courtroom – including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other plotters in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
