"A key member of an alleged Virginia jihad network pleaded guilty to federal weapons and explosives charges [Friday], denying that he intended to harm Americans but acknowledging that he and his co-defendants had sought to fight on behalf of Muslim causes abroad," the Washington Post reports:
Randall Todd Royer, 30, of Falls Church, entered his surprise plea in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. He faces at least 20 years in prison when he is sentenced April 9. Another of the 11 men originally charged in the case, Ibrahim Ahmed al-Hamdi, 26, of Alexandria, pleaded guilty to similar charges and faces at least 15 years in prison.
Royer also goes by the name Ismail, and in September 2002 he penned an article for the crackpot libertarian site Antiwar.com titled " 'Pro-Democracy' Think Tank Is Front for Israeli Lobby." As Glenn Reynolds would say, are these guys antiwar, or just on the other side?

That looks like a pix of KSM shortly after his arrest. Yeah, it is--from the neck down.

I fired up an old computer last weekend and I had a lot of bookmarked threads from the 1999-2001 FR era. You had some classic exchanges with Raimondo!

Yep - and we don't have Justine himself to kick around any more, either...Yahoo! (Original meaning.)

Oh boy censorship first class. Terrorism and bigotry have to remain hidden from the light of truth and exposure.

What the heck are you talking about?

Antiwar.com should always be reminded how it was recruited by the Jihadis.

Oh dear, Justin's copybook has a blot in it. Well, anyone can be used, idealists more so than most, fools still more. Somewhere in that continuum is our our boy Raimondo. My opinion of where, exactly, is better not said - it changes, and maybe so does the position. But I would gently suggest to Justin - and I hope he's reading this - that a writer referring in laudatory tones to "my work" may be taking himself just a little too seriously.

Yeps...I remember those days. I don't think I'm one of raimondo's favorite people.
Good.

The scar was exposed on
this and other threads on FR. Maybe others can help me link them.
