A 10 minute song?

The only thing I feel a need to object to is the Judges comments...

Unfortunately, these people DO represent a significant number of Muslims.

[k2blader]

18 years? That's all??

[b4its2late]

a fifth was killed in a shootout in Pakistan.

IMHO, that was justice.

[PISANO]

18 MONTHS??? Why NOT life?

Battle, a former Army reservist, also spoke of his obligations as a Muslim and concluded by singing a 10-minute song he said he had written in prison.

Geez, pal, this ain't "American Idol".

"Ford, once an intern at Portland's City Hall,..."

May I add, he was assigned to current Portland Mayor Vera Katz, who was a character witness, early on in the investigation.

U.S. District Judge Robert E. Jones admonished Ford by saying: "You do not represent the Muslim faith. Muslims do not engage in the activities you engaged in. You are an insult to that faith."

Since when did judges become qualified as theologians?

"Patrice Lumumba Ford, 32, and Jeffrey Leon Battle, 33, had pleaded guilty in October to conspiracy to levy war against the United States. "


They should have done this in ARKANSAS where it is LEGAL to have:

Any organization which advocates or teaches the overthrow by force or violence or other unconstitutional means of the governments of the United States or the State of Arkansas.


THANK YOU JODIE MAHONY (d), Arkansas Legislators, and RINO Governor Mike Huckabee (da huckster) for your efforts to MURDER AMERICANS!

"Four of the others pleaded guilty, and a fifth was killed in a shootout in Pakistan. "

Meaning only one problem out of 7 was truly solved.

Correction to the article: they are not "American Muslims". "American" is a state of mind. These are Pan-Arabs, not Americans. If they'd gone native, and became "Americans" they wouldn't have been trying to fight for Bin Laden, the evildoer behind the murders of 3,000 AMERICANS.

Traitors get off cheap these days. At the very least they should have also had their US citizenship stripped upon completion of their term.

Are we finally taking this war seriously?
