Yesterday Fox News<\/a> reported that a militant alleged to have been involved in the attack on the Annex in Benghazi, Libya<\/a>, has been captured. The man (Mustafa al-Imam) is being brought to Washington, D.C.<\/a>, where he will be tried in federal court.<\/p>\n

The article also reports:<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the trial of Ahmed Abu Khattala<\/a> began, the alleged mastermind of the 2012 attacks. It\u2019s not clear if the suspect detailed by U.S. special operations forces<\/a> is one of Khattala\u2019s lieutenants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Khatallah had been awaiting trail since 2014, when U.S. Army<\/a> commandos and FBI agents<\/a> captured him in Benghazi and put him on a Navy ship for detention in an American prison inside the United States<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have mixed emotions about bringing this man into the United States. If he is given the full rights of the U.S. Constitution<\/a> even though he is not an American citizen, the discovery phase of a trial<\/a> could make the prosecution very difficult–we might have to divulge classified information in that phase. However, if bringing him back the the United States is an indication that he will receive a speedy trial and verdict, that is a good thing. It is not a good idea to imprison terrorists in America. There will always be a risk of a hostage situation in an attempt to free them. Remember, we are dealing with people who believe that if they die fighting infidels, they will go to heaven. We are the infidels. If the man is convicted and given a prison sentence, it would be better to send him to Guantanamo than to imprison him in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
