Bin Laden son-in-law convicted at NYC terror trial

Osama bin Laden's son-in-law, the voice of fiery al-Qaida propaganda videotapes after the Sept. 11 attacks, was convicted Wednesday of conspiring to kill Americans for his role as the terror group's spokesman.

The verdict came after about five hours of deliberation in the case against Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, the highest-ranking al-Qaeda figure to face trial on U.S. soil since the attacks. The Kuwaiti imam had testified during a three-week trial that he answered bin Laden's request in the hours after the attacks to speak on the widely circulated videos used to recruit new followers willing to go on suicide missions like the 19 who hijacked four planes on Sept. 11, 2001.

Are these still going on? Or is this just for show to make people feel good about the fact that we "got the bad guys"

Honestly I thought these trials were being held in Gitmo and out of the press's view, seems they changed that? I musta missed that one..

Yep. It's like they are saying "look we're still trying...". If they really wanted these guys THAT bad they would have a vast majority of them rounded up by now. But they have their assest placed elsewhere.

Star and flag.

We have so much money invested in "the war on terror" of blood and treasure and taxpayers dollars; the charade of keeping us safe from the Godless Muslims hordes must be maintained.

CIA asset Bin Laden?
It's still hilarious that the real war criminals haven't been brought to justice.

You don't want the real war criminals brought to justice they get killed on sight. After all they may slip up and say who is really giving the orders.
