Justice is served, partially:

A Yemeni judge sentenced two men to death and four others to prison terms ranging from five to 10 years Wednesday for orchestrating the 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole, an attack blamed on Usama bin Laden's terror network.

Saudi-born Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who is in U.S. custody at an undisclosed location, and Jamal al-Badawi, a 35-year-old Yemeni, were both sentenced to death for plotting, preparing and involvement in the bombing, which killed 17 U.S. sailors as their destroyer refueled in the southern Yemeni port of Aden.

Four years, almost to the day. Six men. al-Nashiri and al-Badawi will be punished appropraitely for their crimes, but how many others in the operation got away? John Kerry and supporters, this is a picture of your "law enforcement war," and it's no way to fight against terror.

Meanwhile, the United States and its allies, under the leadership of President Bush, have dropped the majority of al Qaeda's leadership — in three years.
