Unholy alliance
After yesterday's sentencing of Sami al-Arian by Judge James Moody, Robert Spencer looks back in anger: "Justice for a traitor." Spencer notes that among the friends of al-Arian speaking up on his behalf yesterday were Georgetown University Law Professor David Cole. Sickening.
Cole is the legal affairs correspondent for the Nation and author of several books on civil liberties and national security; he is a prime example of the phenomenon elucidated by David Horowitz in Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left. Horowitz devotes pages 181-184 of the book to Professor Cole, quoting Cole's denunciation of "the criminalization of what the government calls material support for terrorist organizations...." And so, unfortuntely, on.
