Democratic Leader Wants Rove Jailed And A Cop-Killer Freed



Conyers Wants Rove In, Abu Jamal Out
By Michael P. Tremoglie, The Bulletin

A longtime Democratic Party leader and elder statesman who has former George Bush Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove in his sights again is also eager to see convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal retried and freed.

U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has subpoenaed the former Bush administration official again. This is the latest attempt in what some see as a political vendetta by Mr. Conyers against Mr. Rove.

Mr. Conyers’ pursuit of Mr. Rove stands in stark contrast to his fervid advocacy on behalf of Mr. Abu-Jamal, who was initially sentenced to be executed for the cold-blooded murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Mr. Abu-Jamal’s case has been reviewed multiple times by various courts and also reviewed by media outlets — all of which has confirmed his guilt.

According to Workers World, the official publication of the Marxist Workers World Party, Mr. Conyers signed a letter to former Gov. Tom Ridge in 1998 asking for clemency for Mr. Abu Jamal.

Mr. Conyers’ district covers all of Highland Park and Hamtramck, as well as large portions of Detroit and Dearborn and contains a large Muslim population.

In the 1980s, Mr. Conyers strongly supported the Nicaraguan Sandinista dictatorship; he was a signatory to a March 7, 1986 letter published in The New York Times, which stated, “There is more freedom and less brutality in revolutionary Nicaragua than in Central American countries supported by the [Reagan] Administration.”

Mr. Conyers addressed a Jan. 2003 anti-war rally organized by the Workers World Party-created group International A.N.S.W.E.R., and there has been recent news reports the group has admitted some of its members are anti-Semitic.

An Oct. 13, 1999 news release from the office of Philadelphia U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah, a Democrat, which was published in the Oct. 24, 1999 edition of the Revolutionary Worker Online mentioned Mr. Conyers support for a new trial for Mr. Abu-Jamal.

Justice can only be served through a new trial for Mumia Abu-Jamal, concluded U.S. Reps. Fattah and Conyers, speaking on behalf of the entire 38-member Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). Mr. Fattah has been closely monitoring the Abu-Jamal case for almost two decades and has concluded that a new trial is necessary in order to carry out Abu-Jamal’s constitutional right to due process. Mr. Conyers, the leading Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, agrees.س

Mr. Conyers also appeared at a rally to free Abu-Jamal in Washington D.C., March 30, 2001. He was joined by rap singer Chuck D and MOVE member Pam Africa.

Didn't you mean every "red-necked" American?

most of the law abiding citizens of this state get a bit pissed when someone tries to say revisionist nice things about the cop killer,

On December 9, 1981, in Philadelphia, close to the intersection at 13th and Locust Streets, Philadelphia Police Department officer Daniel Faulkner was shot and killed during a traffic stop. The stopped vehicle belonged to William Cook, Abu-Jamal's younger brother. In the altercation, Abu-Jamal was wounded by a shot from Faulkner, collapsed on the sidewalk, and was apprehended by the police. He was taken directly from the scene of the shooting to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital where he received treatment for his injuries. He was later charged with the first-degree murder of Daniel Faulkner.

The prosecution also presented two witnesses who were present at the hospital after the altercation. Hospital security guard Priscilla Durham and Police Officer Garry Bell testified that Abu-Jamal confessed in the hospital by saying, "I shot the mother fucker, and I hope the mother fucker dies."

how can you look at the basic facts and say this guy was framed... ?

I'm not commenting on the guy's innocence or guilt. Don't know much about it.

I'm commenting on Mike's silly juxtaposition of the Jamal case with Karl Rove.

It's just his usual attempt to inflame borderline racists and your average middle-schooler should be able to see through it.
