An American convert to Islam arrested shortly after the Madrid bombings, whose fingerprint was allegedly identified as being on a blue plastic bag containing detonators found in a van used by the bombers, won a settlement from the US government for $2 million.
According to the article:
A Justice Department statement released Wednesday said Mayfield was not targeted because of his Muslim faith...
Yeah... right. Bullshit. Keep on abusing that power you have. What comes around, goes around.
The settlement should have been for $200 million. But at least it came with a written apology. And, he and his attorneys said the settlement will allow him to continue the portion of his lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Patriot Act. Aint that poetic?
