"Miqati, a billionaire backed by Hezbollah to become prime minister of Lebanon, promised Wednesday to forge good relations with the United States and declared that he would not interfere with an international tribunal expected to name Hezbollah members in the assassination of a former prime minister.
The statement by Mr. Miqati in an interview was a clear signal of an independent path the politician hopes to chart in a country reeling from its worst crisis in years and navigating a new alignment of power in which Syria has emerged again as powerbroker.....
When Hariri’s son, Saad, Mr. Miqati’s predecessor, refused to denounce the tribunal, the movement withdrew its support for him, forcing the collapse of his 14-month-old unity government....
“I am not going to make any move against the tribunal without full Lebanese consensus,” said Mr. Miqati, well known here as a politician and philanthropist.
Asked if Hezbollah would accept such a stance, he replied indignantly: “I am the prime minister and I will decide. If they do not accept, let them not accept.”"

"... Let them not accept..."
The 'consensus' Miqati talks about is of course a matte of interpretation! And it has been interpreted!

His lawyers will likely appeal. However, before conservative justices in today's climate of fear, Ghailani stands little chance because it's the wrong time to be Muslim in America, judged guilty by accusation.
HE MAY HAVE TO EAT HIS WORDS!!!
