Our highly responsible Main-Stream Media

You were leaked copies of secret recordings made by the FBI.

These recordings are of a group of Islamist terrorists who were freely talking about blowing up buildings in the US and waging jihad.

These pigs have been arrested but are awaiting trial. What do you do? You release the tapes -- hey, good for the ratings! From NBC:

FBI Video In Liberty City 7 Case Leaked Without Authorization
The U.S. attorney's office is asking a federal judge to investigate the unauthorized release of secret FBI surveillance video in the Liberty City Seven terrorism case.

The video involved a secret FBI undercover videotape of terrorism suspects allegedly planning to launch war on the United States, NBC 6's Jeff Burnside reported. The video also shows images taken by defendants, according to prosecutors, of the Miami-area buildings they allegedly considered blowing up.

The complete videotape was leaked to a local TV station. The leak has led the U.S. attorney back to court to file a motion with federal Judge Joan Lenard, urging that "the court should make inquiry regarding release to the media."

Mike Tein, who used to prosecute federal cases, is on the committee that makes rules for federal court. He said releasing evidence in advance of the trial risks tainting people who might become jurors.

"Because, a trial -- that's the show. That's the game. That's the time when the playing field is level and the judge is calling balls and strikes as she sees fit. What they've done -- whoever did this -- is put their thumb on the scale of justice before the trial has begun," Tein said.

The videos had been released to their attorneys as part of the discovery process but somehow, a copy found its way over to a CBS television station. From CBS:

Judge Won't Block CBS4 Liberty City 7 Reports
The Attorney For Narseal Batiste Wanted Use Of Undercover Video Banned
CBS4 has obtained Government Evidence In The Alleged Terror Case

A federal judge has denied a request for a temporary injunction which would have prevented CBS4 and CBS4.com from showing undercover surveillance video of 7 men implicated in a Liberty City terrorism scheme.

Attorney Ana Jhones had filed the request with Federal Court judge Joan Lenard at the US Courthouse in Miami, asking that CBS, and any other media outlet, be prevented from showing the undercover video showing her client, Narseal Batiste, the alleged ringleader of what prosecutors claim was a terrorist cell based in Liberty City.

The request was denied following a teleconference between Jhones, the judge, and attorneys for CBS.

The "Liberty City 7", as they have been dubbed, face terrorism charges after government agents uncovered an alleged plot to blow up buildings including the Sears tower, the Miami Federal Courthouse, and the Miami FBI offices, as well as other structures.

The undercover video shows Batiste and others taking what prosecutors claims is an oath to the al Quaeda terrorist organization, as well as conversations in which Batiste tells and FBI undercover agent his plans for blowing up buildings.

The mokes in question:

Yeah -- you can just see the intelligence and compassion radiating out from those faces. Rot in hell you sons of a pig and monkey. Worship the god of darkness and hate and his false prophet (the pederast and murderer) and see what you get.
