Fenstermaker: The Accused Terrorists Are Relatively Harmless.
Julianna Miller Reporting
juliannamiller@nyu.edu That is how attorney Scott Fenstermaker describes the five terrorists that are facing trail for the September 11 attacks. The trial for these alleged terrorists sprung up controversy last week when it was announced that the Gitmo detainees will be brought back to New York.
Fenstermaker, who will not actually be in court during this trial, is an attorney for one of the Gitmo detainees, Ali al-Aziz Ali. He has been to Guantanamo Bay three times to meet his client and describes him as “relatively nice” and angry after “being mistreated by the US government for six years.”
“Either way it’s a bad idea that it will come back to haunt us,” Fenstermaker told John Gambling about the trial. He believes that having a civil trial is not the best decision but better than having the terrorists face a military tribune. “It is a complete and utter shame, a farce. The government is violating every rule in the book. It is staged, it’s just a shame,” Fenstermaker said of military tribunals.
Fenstermaker also said the issue is not in bringing them here but in the prosecution, he thinks the best course of action would be simply to release the terrorists.“We should release them because it’s the best thing we can do for our country,”
Fenstermaker said, “keeping them in jail and continuing with these bogus proceedings is not good.”While Fenstermaker made it clear that he does not sympathize with the terrorists methods—calling them “criminal,”—he seemed to sympathize with their message. “I would say that if we ignore all of their points we do so to our own detriments.
If we completely ignore something someone says because we don’t like them we are doing so at our own loss.”
