DEFINITIONS OF JUSTICE
Re "Plea bargain for Ujaama," April 15: This guy gets a 21-month prison
term for aiding the terrorist organization al-Qaida. But AIDs patients
growing a plant that can enable them to tolerate the chemotherapy or allow
them to do something as simple as eat could be sentenced to 10 years.
I'm still not sure I got this right: Kill, or assist in the killing,
however indirect that may be, of thousands of people, spend less than two
years in jail. Smoke a marijuana cigarette, and die in jail.
Something is seriously wrong here.
