Documents and information from al-Marri’s defense team:

A Qatari national, al-Marri came to the U.S. with his wife and five children on Sept. 10, 2001 — one day before the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. He arrived on a student visa seeking a master’s degree in computer science from Bradley University, a small private school in Peoria, Ill.
The government says he had other plans.
According to court documents citing multiple intelligence sources, al-Marri spent months in al-Qaida training camps during the late 1990s and was schooled in the science of poisons. The summer before al-Marri left for the United States, he allegedly met with Osama bin Laden and Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The two al-Qaida leaders decided al-Marri would make a perfect sleeper agent and rushed him into the U.S. before Sept. 11, the government says.
A computer specialist, al-Marri was ordered to wreak havoc on the U.S. banking system and serve as a liaison for other al-Qaida operatives entering this country, according to a court document filed by Jeffrey Rapp, a senior member of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
And .. as his betrayal continues .. I saw Colin Powell saying that “the new President should close Guantanamo immediately”.
Good grief!! When are the conservatives going to show up.
If we do that .. and move those killers to USA prisons .. the war will be on. What I mean by that is this: once these killers are here in the USA - they will be broken out of jails - and used to continue their evil on innocent USA citizens.
NO!!!!!!! WE DO NOT WANT THIS SCUM HERE IN AMERICA.
The moment a Dem moves into the White House, these stories will vanish, unless of course they’re reporting that Obama has released people like this.

Clever trick AP, but a US Resident, and a US Citizen is not the same thing
