Similar Viewpoints by Different Sources in the Guantanamo Acquital story

Though the news article reports the acquittal of someone accused of a terrorist conspiracy and even expounds upon the intricacies of the case, an underlying theme/viewpoint is established via the commonality in the subject of quotes. This kind of thing establishes coherency and better flow in the story. I personally find it very interesting when I am interviewing two completely different people and they draw almost identical conclusions.

1.) “This verdict is a reaffirmation that this nation’s judicial system is the greatest ever devised,” Mr. Quijano said outside the courthouse. “It is truly a system of laws and not men, where, in the shadow of the World Trade Center, this jury acquitted Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani of 284 out of 285 counts.”

2.) Judge Kaplan told the jurors they had demonstrated that “American justice can be rendered calmly, deliberately and fairly by ordinary people, people who are not beholden to any government, not even ours.”

“It can be rendered with fidelity to the Constitution,” he added. “You have a right to be proud of your service in this case.”
