Appeal of ex-Guantanamo
detainee rejected by court
Man argues
constitutional
rights were violated
NEW YORK (AP) - In a
boost to U.S. efforts to gain
intelligence from terrorism
suspects before prosecuting
them, a federal appeals court on
Thursday upheld the conviction
of an ex-Guantanamo detainee
in the 1998 bombings of two
U.S. embassies in Africa.'
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals rejected arguments
that Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani's
long detention overseas by the
Central Intelligence Agency
violated his constitutional right
to a speedy trial, concluding
that he was properly convicted
and sentenced to life in prison
for his role in the attacks that
killed 224 people, including a
dozen Americans.
Ghailani's lawyer, Peter Qui-
jano, promised a Supreme Court
appeal.
The court seemed to embrace
an opportunity to say that evi-
dence necessary to prosecute in
U.S. civilian courts and the legal
rights of a defendant are not
necessarily spoiled by efforts to
obtain intelligence from terror-
ism suspects.
"This appeal presents a ques-
tion bound to arise from the
government's efforts to obtain
actionable and time-sensitive
intelligence necessary to thwart
acts of terror, while still bring-
ing those charged with commit-
ting crimes of terrorism against
Americans to justice in an
orderly fashion under the laws
of our coutry," Circuit Judge
Jose A. Cabranes wrote.
The three-judge panel con-
cluded Ghailani's right to a
speedy trial was not violated,
and it rejected his lawyers'
arguments that the government
may never bring a defendant
00 0
to trial after detaining him for
national security purposes.
Quijano, though, said in an
email statement that he never
argued that the government
could never bring a defendant
to trial after detaining him for
national security purposes.
"The government did not act
expeditiously to afford Ahmed
Ghailani a trial after subjecting
him to enhanced interrogation
techniques and then forcing
him to languish for years at
Guantanamo Bay," Quijano said.
"A claim of national security
does not and cannot suspend
and vitiate one's fundamental
right to a speedy trial. Here, a
delay of more than five years -
duringwhich the defendant was
tortured no extract information
- was constitutionally exces-
sive."
Last week, Abu Anas al-Libi,
also known as Nazih Abdul-
Hamed al-Ruqai, pleaded not
guilty to terrorism charges
when he was brought to a Man-
hattan courtroom after he was
snatched off the streets of Libya
and subjected to a week of ques-
tioning aboard an American
warship. He is charged in the
same embassy attacks. Republi-
cans in Congress have demand-
ed he be sent to the U.S. prison
in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for
indefinite interrogation.
In supporting its conclusions
in the Ghailani case, the 2nd
Circuit noted that the Supreme
Court "has repeatedly held that
the government may purposely
delay trials for significant peri-
ods of time, so long as, on bal-
ance, the publics and private
interests render the delay rea-
sonable."
The court also rejected argu-
ments that Ghailani was preju-
diced for speedy trial purposes
by his treatment during his CIA
detention.
The Sixth Amendment's
speedy trial clause "protects
defendants against prejudice
caused by delays in their trials,
not against the harms of inter-
rogation," Cabranes wrote.
French President Francois Hollande gestures as he speaks to the media during an EU summit, Friday. European leaders
united in anger as they attended a summit overshadowed by reports of widespread U.S. spying on its allies.
EU leaders express anger
over U.S. spying allegations
French and German
governments
denounce U.S.
actions
BRUSSELS (AP) - European
leaders united in anger Thurs-
day as they attended a.sum-
mit overshadowed by reports
of widespread U.S. spyihg on
its allies - allegations Ger-
man Chancellor Angela Merkel
said had shattered trust in the
Obama administration and
undermined the crucial trans-
Atlantic relationship.
The latest revelations that
the U.S. National Security
Agency swept up more than
70 million phone records in
France and may have tapped
Merkel's own cellphone
brought denunciations from
the French and German gov-
ernments.
Merkel's unusually stern
remarks as she arrived at the
European Union gathering
indicated she wasn't placated
by a phone conversation she
had Wednesday with President
Barack Obama, or his personal
assurances that the U.S. is not
listening in on her calls now.
"We need trust among allies
and partners," Merkel told
reporters in Brussels. "Such
trust now has to be built anew.
This is what we have to think
about."
"The United States of Amer-
ica and Europe face common
challenges. We are allies," the
German leader said. "But such
an alliance can only be built
on trust. That's why I repeat
again: spying among friends,
that cannot be."
The White House may soon
face other irked heads of state
and government. The British
newspaper The Guardian said
Thursday it obtained a confi-
dential memo suggesting the
NSA was able to monitor 35
world leaders' communica-
tions in 2006. The memo said
the NSA encouraged senior
officials at the White House,
Pentagon and other agencies to
share their contacts so the spy
agency could add foreign lead-
ers' phone numbers to its sur-
veillance systems, the report
said.
The Guardian did not iden-
tify who reportedly was eaves-
dropped on, but said the memo
termed the payoff very meager:
"Little reportable intelligence"
was obtained, it said.
Other European leaders
arriving for the 28-nation
meeting echoed Merkel's dis-
pleasure. Swedish Prime Min-
ister Fredrik Reinfeldt called it
"completely unacceptable" for
a country to eavesdrop on an
allied leader.
If reports that Merkel's
cellphone had been tapped
are true, "it is exceptionally
serious," Dutch Prime Minis-
ter Mark Rutte told national
broadcaster NOS.
"We want the truth," Ital-
ian Premier Enrico Letta told
reporters. "It is not in the least
bit conceivable that activity of
this type could be acceptable."
Echoing Merkel, Austria's
foreign minister, Michael
Spindelegger, said, "We need
to re-establish with the U.S. a
relationship of trust, which has
certainly suffered from this."
