Virginia man charged in alleged plot to assassinate Bush By MATTHEW BARAKAT

Associated Press Writer

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) -- A former high school valedictorian in Virginia was charged Tuesday with conspiring to assassinate President Bush and conspiracy to support the al-Qaida terrorist network.

Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, 23, a U.S. citizen, made an initial appearance Tuesday in U.S. District Court. He claimed that he was tortured while detained in Saudi Arabia since June of 2003 and offered through his lawyer to show the judge his scars.

The indictment said that in 2002 and 2003 Abu Ali and an unidentified coconspirator discussed plans for Abu Ali to assassinate Bush. They discussed two scenarios, the indictment said, one in which Abu Ali "would get close enough to the president to shoot him on the street" and, alternatively, "an operation in which Abu Ali would detonate a car bomb."

The fact that NYT was sued for libel about supporting terrorism by Global Relief is especially ironic. You would think that after such treatment by GRF, the NYT wouldn't stick their necks out for this group but yet they did by tipping them off on an imminent Federal raid on their offices. Very interesting.

Yes very interesting....but we have been warned:

Unholy Alliance
by David Horowitz
Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 089526076X
Hardcover - 256 pages (September 2004)

In this tour de force on the most important issue of our time, David Horowitz, confronts the paradox of how so many Americans, including the leadership of the Democratic Party, could turn against the War on Terror. He finds an answer in a political Left that shares a view of America as the “Great Satan” with America’s radical Islamic enemies. This Left, which once made common cause with Communists, has now joined forces with radical Islam in attacking America’s defenses at home and its policies abroad. From their positions of influence in the university and media culture, leftists have defined America as the “root cause” of the attacks against it. In a remarkable exploration of the “Mind of the Left,” Horowitz traces the evolution of American radicalism from its Communist past to its “anti-war” present. He then shows how this Left was able to turn the Democratic Party presidential campaign around and reshape its views on the War on Terror.

Horowitz’s Unholy Alliance, writes John Haynes, the noted historian of American Communism, “is an insightful, brilliant examination of the mental world of the radical left. Horowitz shows how today’s radicals, unwilling to reflect on the internal flaws that destroyed Marxism-Leninism from within, have embraced an all-consuming nihilism in its place. This has led them to a hatred of American institutions and a solidarity with Islamic terrorists that makes the radical left more properly regarded as dangerous than loony.”

Unholy Alliance is an eye-opening book that should unsettle conventional assumptions and reveals why intellectuals and political leaders who applaud Michael Moore are no laughing matter. As Harvey Klehr, author of Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America, writes, “The world Communist movement may be moribund, but its habits of mind and ideological fantasies have not disappeared. This is a fascinating and depressing account.”

And the sad thing is, if these terrorists were not Muslim Arabs and were, instead, blond, blue-eyed Lutherans from Norway, we'd be racially profiling them.

Either that, or the Left would finally have something nice to say about Christianity.

Anyone know which high school he attended? Just curious.

He was valedictorian of the Islamic Saudi Academy in nearby Alexandria, Va., per WTOP.

"Virginia Man Charged With Conspiring to Assassinate President Bush"

Think this might be the Marlborough Virginia Man?

[GoldCountryRedneck]

"He was tortured... He was whipped.... He was handcuffed..."

So what's the big deal? Sounds like some parties I've attended...

[altura]

Well, the majority of conservatives condemn the actions of the few who advocate violence.

Your stand would hold more water if we heard emphatic condemnation from the majority of Muslims for the violence being perpetrated.

I'm listening.....

[CDB]

He was born here (in Houston), so why does he have joint US-Jordanian citizenship?

[EDINVA]

" ...when will the MSM report this? And on his "religion"?

How truly pathetic is it that this is how this guy is described? No one cares about or remembers valedictorians.

I read about this scumbag on FoxNews. He shouldn't see the next sunrise.

I am very happy he was caught. So happy that now I am firing off my Kalashnikov and passing candies out to children, screaming God is Great.
