His performance was sub par. There was no mention of military duty absence as any reason for anything. As for GITMO I suggest that some of you that feel those poor tortured souls held there step up and volunteer to take them into your homes. They are model citizens who are just slightly misunderstood much like our 60s hippies and today's liberal left. Little lesson in law...they are terrorists...not soldiers...they are not covered by the Geneva Convention..they are not prisoners of war...and would kill anyone of you before capture and would gladly once released. There is a huge difference in these great people and the american citizen who committs a crime here. You idiots keep pushing this and you'll get what you asked for...so called former terrorists living in your communities just biding time until they get the chance to make thier points bigger than 9-11-01.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-39789763905084438612009-01-27T19:51:00.000-07:002009-01-27T19:51:00.000-07:00So the eye doesnt think much of the right to a tri...So the eye doesnt think much of the right to a trial...what a shock coming from apdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-14217508342294045352009-01-26T08:36:00.000-07:002009-01-26T08:36:00.000-07:00January 23, 2009 4:27:00 PM:I don't understand you...January 23, 2009 4:27:00 PM:<BR/><BR/>I don't understand your argument. Are you saying Iglesias *should* have sped up the indictment to help Wilson? That was the only reason to do so.<BR/><BR/>Its interesting to note that Iglesias was going to indict Aragon in December of 2006 - Heather and Pete wanted him to do so in late October/early November to coincide with the election. Because he didn't go along with them, he got fired and Manny wasn't indicted until March 2007. He didn't plead guilty until October 2008. Sen Domenici, Rep Wilson, Karl Rove, Alberto Gonzales, and the rest of them actually impeded the criminal justice system in this matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-90014079919370883902009-01-23T16:27:00.000-07:002009-01-23T16:27:00.000-07:00Apparently somebody hasn't spent much time at the ...Apparently somebody hasn't spent much time at the court house.

Iglesias was building the case against Manny but it wasn't ready to go to trial yet. <BR/><BR/>Domenici and Wilson wanted to bend the justice system to suit their needs - specifically to help Wilson get re-elected by bringing Aragon to trial during election season. Iglesias refused to do that. Manny was eventually convicted based on Iglesias's and his staff's work. <BR/><BR/>Maybe as a supposed cop you're used to just getting a no-knock warrant and kicking someone's door down if you suspect they committed a crime but if a prosecutor wants to actually obtain a conviction he has to put together an airtight case, which Iglesias did despite the political meddling you apparently approve of.<BR/><BR/>Iglesias was eventually fired from the DOJ because of this and his refusal to prosecute the voter fraud that the Bush appointees at the DOJ were just so certain existed. Unfortunately for them nobody has ever found any evidence of it, including the political hack they brought in to replace Iglesias. You should be applauding Iglesias's honesty and integrity rather than attacking him for not bending to the partisan politican whims of Domenici and Wilson. <BR/><BR/>You also seem to forget that Iglesias is and always has been a Republican, not a member of the "kook fringe left." Prior to his refusal to twist the Justice system to fit the electoral desires of politicians, he was a rising star in the state GOP and would probably eventually have run for Governor as a Republican.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately for all of us the NM GOP is just as corrupt and petty as the NM Democratic party is.<BR/><BR/>As to your inane sidebar about Gitmo, as a supposed cop you should be aware that it is illegal to detain people indefinitely without charging them for anything no matter how evil you think they are, even if the Bush/Cheney administration apparently was not. <BR/><BR/>To be honest the fact that you've formed your opinion of Iglesias without even understanding the basic facts of the matter is pretty frightening. No wonder APD constantly arrests people without cause. If you're any indication, they just arrest people based on purely ignorant opinions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-65055654349066191812009-01-22T20:28:00.000-07:002009-01-22T20:28:00.000-07:00Actually Mr. Iglesias was one of Dick Marchinkos d...Actually Mr. Iglesias was one of Dick Marchinkos defense lawyers.
