After 3 years of Bushian limbo, the wheels of justice are beginning to start grinding again.

What was Al-Marri’s alleged crime? He was allegedly a sleeper agent for Al-Qaeda, whose mission was “to wreak havoc on the U.S. banking system.”

Huh?  I thought that was the job of Phil Gramm and the Repugs who deregulated the markets and looked the over way over the last decade while the mess was brewing?!?  Seriously, if Al-Marri was guilty as charged,  wouldn’t he be getting a big fat bonus like all financial services executives who *actually* wreaked havoc on the US banking system?

I’m confused here, why no bonus for Al-Marri?  Or court for the various actual executive ‘sleeper agents?’
