In the confession, Abu Ali says he "was interested in jihad and the idea of mujaheedin" because of "my hatred of the United States for support of Israel against the Palestinian people."

[Southack]

"Abu Ali says he "was interested in jihad and the idea of mujaheedin" because of "my hatred of the United States for support of Israel against the Palestinian people."

...and pulling out of Iraq would influence him how, Dr. Dean??

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh please. These freaks hate Israel no matter what anyone would or would not do.

[Hadean]

Don't they know Dick Cheney is next in line?

[Zeppelin]

U.S. District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee viewed the videotape Tuesday over defense objections, saying he wanted to observe Abu Ali's demeanor.

I wouldn't want to cross a guy with a name like that!!!

[Rte66]

Does anyone know his real name?

"my hatred of the United States for support of Israel"


At what point do we leave Citizenship and become Expatriates?!? Methinks about this point.

[Susannah]

Since he hates US support of Israel and also lived in Virgina, he might be more of a fan of Senator Byrd of West Virginia. Byrd is the only one in the Senate who voted both against the war in Iraq AND against the alliance with Israel in the war on terrorism.

Does anyone know his real name?

He is the spawn of Jordan-born, naturalized U.S. citizens, could be his real name.

[Susannah]

Must be his real name because wikipedia usually has info on people who changed their names. They did cover the name change of Malcolm X, for example.

[AFPhys]

wikipedia is not a dependable source - it is always a work in progress and quite changeable - someone needs to research this guy's real name, birthplace, and then notify wikipedia to update their info.

Rte66:I see you saw this... was gonna ping you. (o:

Laz: This is a U.S. citizen who grew up in VA - was reportedly asked to go back to America to start and Al Qaeda cell...

"Methodist? Amish? Latvian Orthodox? (he might be the kevorka!!!"

Kavorka? Not unless he is rabid.

No, I'm afraid its the same old and tiresome "religion" of hate and war ... islam.

As has been said repeatedly, not all Mid-Eastern muslims are terrorists, but all Mid-Eastern terrorist are muslims, and we should take no prisoners.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

...he was motivated by hatred of American support for Israel...

If found not guilty, Ahmed should join Cindy Sheehan's anti-war campaign.

[highlander_UW]

His attorneys want the confession thrown out. They argue that the 24-year-old falsely confessed after being tortured and whipped by the Saudis, and they say U.S. authorities were complicit in the torture. Prosecutors deny Abu Ali was mistreated.

But Saudi Arabia is the home of Islam and the center of the terrorist Wahabbi sect...they wouldn't use torture would they? /sarcasm

Judge Ito?
