Jailed Terrorist: "I Want My Walkman"
Convicted al-Qaeda murderer complains about life in federal prison
NOVEMBER 6--An al-Qaeda operative serving life in prison for his role in the bombing of American embassies in Africa contends that his rights are being violated by U.S. jailers who have denied him access to Arabic publications and religious books, limited his mail privileges, and no longer allow him to use a Walkman. Mohamed Al-Owhali, 32, claims that his incarceration at the "supermax" federal prison in Florence, Colorado has left him so severely depressed that he stopped eating for months, forcing Bureau of Prisons officials to feed him via a tube placed through his nose. In a new U.S. District Court lawsuit, Al-Owhali wants a judge to order prison brass to provide him with expedited mail services, expanded phone privileges, and access to radio and TV news broadcasts and English and Arabic newspapers and magazines. Currently, Al-Owhali claims, he is only provided with month-old copies of USA Today, "with several pages-sections removed." The convicted terrorist is held in virtual isolation in a special security unit at Florence, per Department of Justice guidelines known as Special Administrative Measures. Attached to Al-Owhali's handwritten October 19 lawsuit is a copy of an internal BoP complaint form filed by the inmate (a copy of which you'll find below) and a BoP memo to Al-Owhali detailing the SAM measures governing his incarceration. The Osama bin Laden disciple and three codefendants were convicted in 2001 for their roles in simultaneous car bomb attacks at U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Tanzania. Those blasts killed a total of 224 people and injured thousands of other victims. (14 pages)

I’m beginning to think these guys are nothing but spoiled brats with a Drama Queen complex. How ‘bout we put him in some prison facility a little less secure?

So give him the walkman. With no tapes or batteries. Problem solved.

There is a formula that looks like ensure but is actually real food, Pot roast ingrediants, peaches and dairy....KV used to LOVE the stuff through his tube but it was so rich it dang near killed him with acute pancreatitis.
Not suggesting mind you but there are non soy based formulas on the market.
Oh and by the way should he be asking for something a little more up to date than a walk man?
That is so ancient like.

Give him his Walkman with tapes, batteries and his favorite music. He can listen to it while he's dancing the
Tyburn Jig.

Im beginning to think these guys are nothing but spoiled brats with a Drama Queen complex. No, not at all.
They just learn the "American way" by watching / listening to Democrats and the liberal / Rat main stream media.
They are...'entitled'...to what they want.
Don't you understand how all this works?

We should tell him that Walkmans violate Sharia law. And if he keeps asking for one, we’ll send a mullah to chop his ding ding off.

“Im beginning to think these guys are nothing but spoiled brats with a Drama Queen complex.”
I think the problem is that they know there are Americans listening who are not laughing hysterically, thanks to the MSM. They have enough friends here, including in Congress and the media, who will take this seriously. The joke is on us.

GUARANTEED that it’s not just this [expletive deleted] islamonazi behind this. There is an activist lawyer puke at the bottom of it. You know — a Lynne Stewart type. GUARANTEED
