I haven’t heard the latest on the Muhammad Salah case, but here is an intriguing radio interview (MP3 format) of his lawyer.

After being imprisoned in Israel and tortured into giving a false confession, he is now standing trial for crimes based on the coerced confession, a clear violation of the U.S. constitution.

I taught his children a few years ago and know him and his family to be generous, kind, upstanding citizens. This is clearly a witch-hunt, and it is certainly no coincidence that the trial is starting so close to the congressional elections, when the republicans are in dire need of some “good news” about the “war on terror.”
