HOUSTON --A U.S. citizen accused of working alongside al-Qaida members pleaded guilty Thursday to a charge of receiving training from a foreign terrorist organization, authorities said. During a court hearing, Daniel Joseph Maldonado, 28, a Muslim convert who grew up in New Hampshire and was also known as Daniel Aljughaifi and Abu Mohammed, admitted to traveling in December to a terrorist camp in Somalia, where he was trained to use firearms and explosives in an effort to help the Islamic Courts Union topple the government and install an Islamic state. Members of al-Qaida were present at the camp.

I had to read this part twice to make sure I read it correctly the first time.
Defense attorneys had previously described Maldonado as a man who, driven by anti-Muslim sentiment in America since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, moved out of the country with his family so they could live at ease as Muslims

Indeed. Now we’ll have to support him for years within the penal system.

The enemy within. Yup.
But, our esteemed Congress spends its time trying to diminish and fire the top tier of our national leadership.
I hope we've all learned that elections do have consequences....especially our citizens with the children who will inherit this mess.

Is it possible to send him to the same prison that we sent Jeffrey Dahmer to? Hopefully with the same results.

Not likely. With prison converts of islam, he’ll be a hero.
