DOJ Hindered Terrorist Prosecutions

Speaking of fouling up things deliberately...

From Yahoo:

Prosecutors in the first major terror trial after Sept. 11 were hindered by superiors from presenting some of their most powerful evidence, including testimony from an al-Qaida leader and video footage showing Osama bin Laden's European operatives casing American landmarks, Justice Department memos show.
If you caught "60 Minutes" tonight, or any of the stories that have run everywhere but CNN, Faux, and MSimbeCile, you know that Sen. Charles Grassley considers former FBI translator, Sibell Edmonds, highly credible when she claims we're deliberating messing up translations by hiring people who can't speak the languages they're translating or leaving large pieces of text untranslated.
