Terrorism Suspect Secretly Held For Two Months -- L.A. Times

Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame, a Somali, is the first detainee known to have been secretly held by the Obama administration outside the criminal justice system.

A Somali militant linked to Al Qaeda was held and interrogated for two months on a U.S. Navy ship — the first publicly known example of the Obama administration secretly detaining a new terrorism suspect outside the criminal justice system.

Senior administration officials revealed the case Tuesday after an indictment against the man, Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame, was unsealed in federal court in New York. The indictment, which does not mention Warsame's military detention, charges that he worked to broker a weapons deal between Al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen and the Somali militant group Shabab. It alleges that he fought on Shabab's behalf in Somalia in 2009, then went to Yemen in 2010 for explosives training and took part in terrorist activities there.

My Comment: The right place to hold and interrogate such a suspect was in Guantanamo Bay .... but to do so would have made a mockery on the administrations goal of closing Guantanamo .... hence we now have a suspect locked up on a ship for two months while they interrogated him. And now he is indicted in federal court (not military) .... sighhh .... you got to be kidding me.

No wonder most terrorism suspects under President Obama's watch have been assassinated .... who wants to deal with this confusing legal process .... a process that was created purely out of politics and ideology.
