After testimony from accused killer Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, a Muslim convert trained in Yemen, Judge Herb Wright ruled that he was indigent and entitled to the funding despite being represented by a private attorney his parents hired. While on the stand, Muhammad told his attorney, Claiborne Ferguson, he had no financial means to pay for his defense on his own.
Muhammad is charged with capital murder, attempted capital murder and 10 counts of unlawful discharge of a weapon in the June 1 shooting that killed Pvt. William Long, 23, of Conway and wounded Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, of Jacksonville outside a west Little Rock recruiting center. He told reporters in a jailhouse interview that he shot the men in retaliation for the way the U.S. military treats Muslims in the Middle East.

I think that we need a new constitutional amendment, number 28.
"Congress shall pass laws that apply equally to all branches of the government as they do the average person on the street."
So when they voted themselves nice pay raises for both the Senate and the Legislator, they should have given all those in entitlement programs the same percentage increase. What, do they have it better while we have it worse. Congress gets a 10K raise while Social Security recipients get an increase in their out of pocket costs through Medicare, no increase of their checks for the next two years, and we aren't sure if the Medicare prescription gap is going to be gone with final health care reform bill.
Costs are piling up for average Americans while incomes are going down. But not for Congress, their incomes go up no matter what happens.

slarabee:
He's a terrorist, an enemy combatant. He was trained by Al Quida in Yemen. He shot down American soldiers in cold blood for "Allah". He should face a Military court and then a firing squad. Once you and Obama begin to figure out who these people are and acknowledge we are at war, we'll all be better off.
