The Bush administration suffered a major setback after a jury in Dallas failed to convict former officials from what was once the country’s largest Islamic charity, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. On Monday, the jury revealed that it had failed to convict the five defendants of any of the 200 combined counts against them. U.S. District Judge Joe Fish declared a mistrial after three jurors said the verdict did not represent their views. In 2001, President Bush ordered the Holy Land Foundation closed and seized the charity’s assets, claiming that the organization had ties to the Palestinian group Hamas. Georgetown law professor David Cole described the developments as a huge defeat for the government. Cole said: “They spent almost 15 years investigating this group, seized all their records and had extensive wiretapping, and yet could not obtain a single conviction on charges of supporting a terrorist organization.” The Bush administration said it plans to retry the case.
