What about that poor innocent AQ suspect who was waterboarded at Gitmo?! That is the real crime!</p><p>"The June 1993 crime for which Medellin was condemned was chilling. According to the Texas Attorney General's office, Pena and her 14-year-old companion, Jennifer Ertman, were walking home when they encountered a gang initiation.<br>Medellin and his fellow gang members sexually assaulted, beat and strangled the two girls. When their badly decomposed bodies were finally recovered, they could only be identified by dental records."</p>MarlowecanTue, 05 Aug 2008 20:33:22 -0000http://themoderatevoice.com/21567/will-texas-defy-world-court/#comment-1104423<p>Just have the President say he's a terrorist, send him to Gitmo, and have him "commit suicide."</p>ChrisWWWTue, 05 Aug 2008 15:22:10 -0000
