We Americans are all about freedom.

I wish that were true.

Our freedoms are being taken away from us almost without a peep.

Fantastic words from the judge. Sad that because of this asshat we have to take off our shoes to get on a plane as if it were a sacred act. I bet the Muslims still laugh at us over that one.

Reid also admitted his 'allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah,' defiantly stating, 'I think I will not apologize for my actions,' and told the court 'I am at war with your country.'

That right there is an admission to committing treason against the US, is it not...* in OPEN COURT @ that! There were 2 witness in the courtroom that heard him make that statement, so why can't someone charge him w/ that, too?

Thanks for posting that. I had not ever seen it before. So it appears there IS a judge worth his salt in America! He is Judge William Young.

"Did you know his trial is over? Did you know he was sentenced? Did you see/hear any of the judge's comments on TV or Radio? "

Yep. SIX years ago. Kinda late posting this don't you think?

No I don’t think so...it’s always good to remind everybody how our country was and should be and is not anymore - and it’s just the beginning of the fall to fascism. Again...the silence is deafening.

So no, I have NO problem at all to remind everybody what we are loosing!!!

You don’t seem to realize what’s happening - I do. I was born where they did not have freedom so no, I don’t think it’s too late to try to wake up a sleepy spoiled populace who don’t realize what they are loosing because THEY DON’T EVEN REALIZE WHAT THEY HAD!!! How lucky they were...took it for granted? Well, that will be history very soon. And you will miss America badly, I can assure you that. I know the difference.

You can’t charge someone who is not a citizen with treason.

It’s best to have a source link for any post on Free Republic. An email isn’t considered as such usually.

You may not have been aware of this so I’m providing this source link for you....

http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/01/31/reid.transcript/

With me, at least, your post is appreciated. Thanks for sharing. Not everyone on Free Republic will be aware of the good Judge’s words.

Thank you very much. I apologize...I did not know that. I received that by email tonight so I wanted to pass it on. I should have made my research :-)

Will do next time. Thanks for the info.

TWO OF Britain’s bombers, [shoebomber] Richard Reid and Muktar Said-Ibrahim, converted or reconverted to Islam in prison. This is a very small number, of course, but as we have just seen, it does not take large numbers of such people to effect a huge change in a country’s atmosphere. And the omens for the emergence of more of them are not good.
First, the number of Muslim prisoners has risen sixfold over the past 15 years. With more than 4,000 such inmates they make up 70 per cent of prisoners from minority groups. They are mostly of Pakistani descent, and the relative absence of people of subcontinental origin who follow other religions is equally striking.
Secondly, Islamic proselytising is prevalent in our [UK]prisons. An outside observer might conclude from the religious literature that he sees there that Britain is more an Islamic than a Christian country. I was often surprised on entering a cell in the prison in which I worked to discover a booklet with a title such as The Basic Teachings of Islam. More often than not, this will be the prisoner’s first experience of reading abstract principles. ------ "Our prisons are fertile ground for cultivating suicide bombers," http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,1072-1713671,00.html

Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bear any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am afraid though that Americans will **not** bear any burden. They will crumple under the tyranny of self-generated communism like a Big Mac wrapper.

I was thinking more along the lines of espionage. That's a hanging offense there.

He is not a U.S. citizen. He’s a Brit.

Anytime. When I was relatively new here, it took me a while to figure all the posting rules out. It’s no biggie. Let me know if I can be of help. I check in here most days.

And Welcome To FRee Republic!!! :o)
