ANKARA - Imagine a terrorist organization that over a span of two decades kills 10 times the death toll of September 11. Imagine that after years of hitting and hiding, the head of that organization is finally captured by law enforcement and extradited to the nation where he and his gang committed the attacks. Bowing to international ideals, the country of the victims waives the death penalty, but declares the mastermind guilty of 'treason' and sentences him to life in prison on an isolated island.
Now imagine a European court demanding a retrial - because the terrorist didn't have access to a lawyer quickly enough."
