<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nThe only fellow that we in custody in regards to the horrendous attack on the Benghazi consulate compound on September 11th, 2012, Ahmed Abu Khattala, has pleaded not guilty, according to the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n Abu Khattala’s lawyer, federal public defender Michelle Peterson, said she is waiting for the Justice Department to turn over additional material – much of it classified – on the charges her client faces. The next court date in the case was set for Dec. 9.<\/p>\n Abu Khattala’s lawyer has said previously that the government has failed to show Abu Khattala was connected to the attacks.<\/p>\n Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael DiLorenzo said the government so far has provided the defense with 150 hours of videotape and 4,000 pages of documents.<\/p>\n The charges against Abu Khattala include murder of an internationally protected person, murder of an officer and employee of the United States and killing a person in the course of an attack on a federal facility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I don’t see the poor innocent terrorist getting the death penalty, not in our justice system these days. I see the lawyer is already setting up the government for withholding “classified” documents. I wouldn’t give a lawyer any classified documents, either. Informants in Libya would start turning up dead. And that’s the problem of putting these guys through the justice system. Did ISIS put those people who they executed by beheading last month through their courts? Yeah, I know we’re better than they are – but if we treated them like they treat us, this war would be over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
