Abu Ghaith prosecution will leave more questions than answers

The Abu Ghaith saga  is going to be getting a Niagara Falls of ink in the months and years ahead, and believe me, this charade will go on for years.

Sulaiman Abu Ghaith is the late Osama bin Laden's son-in-law and was reputed to be a high level adviser to the terror boss. He was snatched by the FBI in Jordan while en route to Saudi Arabia from Turkey.

That little factoid right there raises a few troubling questions about America's allies. Turkey, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are all considered allies. Turkey wouldn't charge or detain him, Saudi Arabia offered him sanctuary, and the weakest of the three, Jordan, offered him up to the FBI.

The bit about Abu Ghaith's long stay in Iran under house arrest is "murky" indeed. What is the nature of the "Al Qaeda activities in Iran" that the article alludes to? Are not Al Qaeda and Iran sworn enemies? How did Abu Ghaith manage to enjoy the hospitality of Iran for all those years, and then have the welcome mat rolled out for him in the home of Al Qaeda, Iran's most vociferous enemy, Saudi Arabia, America's second best bestie in the Middle East?

There's something very fishy about this.
