Suspects in massacre seek U.S. asylum

This is a perfect example of how international terrorists will be dealt with when given access to the US justice system. Notice the difference in compassion the judge provides to those that were murdered and those that committed the atrocity. Our judicial system does not possess the strength to deal with terror cases. They are one of the weak links in the war against terrorists.

I am left wondering how many sincere, kind people there are in the world who would benefit from asylum in the United States. And this is what we do? Just their association with the rebel group responsible for this deed should disqualify them. Will we allow them to bring their machetes into the country as well?

Did I miss it in reading 6 pp.? Did Huvelle look at the other evidence, not just the confessions, before, in effect, dismissing the case ? Let Amnesty International pay the murderers' tansportation to Canada. Why do these murderers not ask for asylum in another African country ? For America even to consider granting asylum to these "men" is an outrage. I have 3 dtrs., various other female family members, but I will not vote for a woman judge (when elected, not appointed), and I have to see that a female political candidate is tough before I will consider voting for her. I see women give way when they should do what is right instead of trying to be "nice" - true in many professions and situations. Some of them -and increasingly our male politicians - don't seem to understand that allowing evil to exist and persist is the means of guaranteeing its continuance.

I think thy should be allowed to remain in this country if the attorneys agree to allow to let them live with them and their families.

There is a value in the second amendment, it at least allows us to protect ourselves in our homes. They should not be given asylum, and the US should take it all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. It it still fails, the US should do all in its power to curtail their freedom. While I am not for torture, I do not believe the judge considered the victims in this case.

AMEN BUNFIGHT; great post! The U.S. goverment has a DUTY to protect its citizens. It would not allow anyone deamed a threat to come here and get asylum. Deport these men to a 3rd country that might actually want them. If there is none, file new and differet charges that will stick and lock these men up for life. But then again, why should us taxpapers pay for non-citizens? Hey, perhaps Obama could throw them an honorary dinner should he become president:)

I was honored to help the family of Robert Haubner and Susan Miller deal with the media when they first learned of the barbarity in Uganda and managed a moving Intel memorial service in Oregon. It would be a tragedy of equal or greater proportions if the killers were granted asylum in the United States.

I want to thank the Washington Times for this well informed article. My brother and his beautiful wife deserve at least this much attention. I pray everyday that these men are not allowed asylum in this country. (It appears at this point, the may not) It has been hard enough knowing my tax dollars have been feeding and sheltering them for years now. I wish this judge could have looked past the politically correct responses and thought of the family. We will never get over the brutal murder of our brother. By the grace of God, I can forgive these men, but there must be consequences. Allowing them the luxury of living in the best country in the world, is not what I would call a consequence. Thank you to all who have commented on this article. It makes me think that Rob and Susan will not be forgotten.
