Congratulations are in order for Seattle Democrat Congressman Jim McDermott. Fresh off the D.C. Circuit upholding a judgment against him for unlawfully distributing a tape of other people's private cellular phone conversations to the press, word has come out that McDermott has introduced a bill to block the deportation of and give a green card to one of the assassins of a Bangladeshi president and the president's family (including small children).
Mohuiddin A.K.M. Ahmed fled Bangladesh to avoid trial for murder after the Islamist coup he helped bring to power was ousted in 1996. The State Department found his trial in absentia to be fair, and Ahmed is facing the death penalty. He has been living illegally in the U.S., and has fought deportation attempts in the courts - and lost. The Ninth Circuit (known as the most liberal federal appellate court) rejected his claims, finding that he participated in terrorist activity and persecuted others because of their political opinions.
Now McDermott has a bill that essentially calls Mohuiddin a persecuted innocent and says the American courts were all wrong.
McDermott's sympathy for Islamic fanatics and assorted America-haters isn't new, but it's still utterly revolting. And for it, McDermott gets the first ever Sheryl Crow Dingleberry of the Week Award, for the week of June 10-16, 2007.
