FORT LEWIS -- Army Spc. Ryan Anderson talked with his lawyer and wrote on a notepad yesterday, but didn't look up at the screen showing an undercover video of his meeting near the Space Needle in February with two federal investigators posing as al-Qaida terrorist recruiters.

In the 58-minute recording made inside a vehicle, with about a minute censored for security reasons, Anderson, 26, of Lynnwood is shown volunteering ideas on how to defeat U.S. military vehicles and kill soldiers, sharing military documents, making plans to desert and join al-Qaida, and his reasons for it all.

"While I love my homeland, I believe the leaders have taken this horrible road. I have no belief in what the American Army has asked me to do. They have taken me from my family and sent me to die," Anderson said on the video, which was shown in a courtroom at this Army base yesterday.

"I joined the National Guard because they said I won't go over and fight -- I will fight at home," he said.

But Anderson, a convert to Islam, said he would not fight overseas against "brother" Muslims. "I am very upset about that," he said. "I love my country, but I fear my government."

The problem is the one's we haven't caught yet.

[proud American in Canada]

Wow, I'm glad we caught him too.

[T'wit]

What a pukey specimen.

[mattdono]

Exactly.

Don't think that there aren't a bunch of whacko leftists that would join the military with the specific idea of bringing shame to it.

Hmmm...

Makes me wonder about the situation Abu Ghraib?

[MEG33]

I wonder how many more "good" muslims are doing this?

[1234]

SLOB'S ETHNICITY?

[marty60]

If anyone has doubt that Muslims are are spreading their satanic religion to destroy this country, wake up and smell the wmd.

As the first witness, Shannen Rossmiller, a city judge in Conrad, Mont., described yesterday how she linked the name and e-mail address of Amir Abdul Rashid on the Web site to Anderson.

Under questioning and cross-examination, Rossmiller said she is a member of 7/Seas.net, a group of seven amateur "counterintelligence" Web-surfing hobbyists tracking terrorist activity and providing information to the government. Its members include four in the United States, one in Australia, one in Indonesia and another in Canada, Rossmiller said.

Good article. I even enjoyed the "Kerry needs a miracle" ad.

"Fort Lewis commander, who will decide whether to convene a court-martial and whether charges will carry the death penalty."

Can't tell you how much I would like to weigh in on that decision.

"Boy I'm glad we caught this guy...."


Tooooo bad that people like Old Teddy, JFKerry and Hillry are not held to account for their anti-American deeds and words!

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

"...They have taken me from my family and sent me to die," Anderson said.."

He sounds like a whining coward to me.

"I love my country, but ..."

He doesn't love his country, he loves his comfortable home, his full belly, car, TV, sterio, vacations to Disney World, and all that..... but he apparently has no concept of the price Americans must pay to live in economic comfort and freedom, nor of the God we should be on our knees thanking everyday and asking for His continued blessings on our nation.

[RolandBurnam]

what a dumbass.

"They have taken me from my family and sent me to die" ...

so helping muslims kill soldiers is just going to make other families have the same problem.

what a moron. this guy should be shot in a firing squad.

[sarasota]

They're everywhere. We need to become vigilantes.

[Redcoat LI]

"If you are who you say you are and things go where I think they are going, I will be unwelcome in the only land I've ever known as home, never to see my parents again," another message says."

Well they weren't,and the outcome is the same.

Have fun in prison.

Anderson, a convert to Islam, said he would not fight overseas against "brother" Muslims. "I am very upset about that," he said. "I love my country, but I fear my government."

The truth about Islam just keeps piling up. Every Muslim in the military is a security risk. It's long past time we relinquished the luxury of naively believing otherwise.

We are not at war with "a few fanatics who've hijacked a peaceful religion," Islam is a bloody cult that has aimed from its founding by the murderer Mohammed to bring the world into submission to Sharia law.

[marty60]

Don't think they don't know we are watching them. I saw two burka bit**** putting groceries in a trunk, looking around. The fear in their eyes said it all. I gave them a dirty look just to put a exclamation point on their fear.
