Explaining their decision, the judges said evidence for the main charges against el Motassadeq - more than 3,000 counts of accessory to murder - was no longer "urgent" because they lack testimony from an al-Qaida suspect in U.S. custody.
from that same article.

seems kinda funny to put all the blame on the Germans...Oh the outrage. You would think America would let the guy with all the information on the guy testify without him they apparently didn't have a case and don't believe in having some Gitmo type dungeon for people that they can't legally hold.

It's obvious you haven't seen the pictures and video from GITMO.
And what did you think we should have done, Richard: put the guy in U.S. custody on a plane and fly him over for the trial? And besides that, do you think these guys rat out on each other? Of course not.
This guy trained in Afghanistan and he was friends with 2 or 3 of the 9/11 hijackers. To me, if you trained in the Al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan, then you are al Qaeda. If you are al Qaeda, you are a freakin terrorist.
