Four and a half years...no trial...no sentence...no bail...
Thank you for visiting. If you are concerned about how the "War on Terror" has deteriorated our civil rights please read the story of Ali Aladimi, an American citizen who has been languishing in various county jails since shortly after 9/11. He is now scheduled to go to trial in November 2007. He has been denied bail and will have spent over five years in jail without trial. Ali's current attorney who has thirty years experience in the federal court system both as a prosecutor and defender has called this miscarriage of justice "unprecedented."
