3 Charged With Planning Attacks in Iraq (News conference at 1:30 PM EST)
Breitbart (AP) ^ | 2/21/2006 | staff

CLEVELAND

A federal grand jury has indicted three Ohio men on charges of planning attacks on U.S. military personnel in Iraq, according to an indictment.

The three men, who all lived in Toledo within the last year, were arrested over the weekend, said Assistant U.S. Attorney David Bauer in Toledo. The indictment was unsealed Monday.

They were to be arraigned in federal courts in Cleveland and Toledo on Tuesday afternoon.

The suspects recruited others to train for a violent holy war against the United States and its allies in Iraq, the indictment said. The group traveled together to a shooting range to practice shooting guns and studied how to make explosives, the indictment said.

Oh, and the local media is stating that at least one charge is 'plan to do bodily harm to the POTUS'.

That should give them celebrety status with the MSM.

I don't think you're missing a point; but I haven't followed your posts on this thread. I just jumped to the last post and transcribed the question from the press and the answer from the AG.

They face our armed and trained soldiers who can kill them without fear of pandering to the Democrat's bill of rights that seem to be taking hold in this country.

Someday when we are hit here at home again, all the usual suspects will be wailing about our failure to "connect the dots." As usual, they won't place the blame where it belongs.

Breaking News: San Diego Link to "Kind Hearts" Charity
FOX 6 TV Channel ^ | February 20, 2006 | Reporter: Tom Patton

A KindHearts primer
Monday, February 20, 2006

What is KindHearts?

A Toledo-based nonprofit that collects more than $4 million a year in donations, making it one of the largest Muslim charities in the United States.

Why did the government raid KindHearts' offices and freeze its assets?

The Treasury Department has accused KindHearts of funneling money to Hamas, which the government considers a terrorist organization.

Who runs KindHearts?

Khaled Smaili of Toledo founded it in 2002. He is a former fund-raiser for Global Relief Foundation, a charity that the United States shut down for funding terrorism. Jihad Smaili, Khaled Smaili's brother, serves on KindHearts' board of directors and is the group's attorney from his downtown Cleveland office.

Where does the money go?

KindHearts insists that most of it goes to help needy Palestinians in both the Palestinian territories and Lebanon. The U.S. government claims that KindHearts is also supporting Hamas.

How does KindHearts raise money?

Through its Web site, www.kind-hearts.org, and at fund-raisers held across the country, usually at mosques.

When did KindHearts open?

In 2002, after the U.S. government closed the three largest Muslim charities in the country, accusing each of supporting terror.

I'm sure you're exactly right. And it's hard to connect the dots when the left is trying to do everything in their power to stop law enforcement from connecting those dots.

It's fascinating that the left lets us kill the jihadists, but heaven forbid we actually listen to their phone conversations. Some days I feel like I must be living in an alternate universe when I hear the Rats try and defend themselves.

OK,
My original post was something like "Treason - hang them high"

I was then asked about the Constitution, and asked "what about their rights?"
I responded that I would want LE to follow the law and observe the Constitution. And then I stated that we didn't have to eliminate our Constitution in order to protect ourselves.
My position is that our Constitution has served us well for many years through War and Peace. To trash it now just hands our enemies the victory.
The KGB I'm sure thwarted many a plot to do harm, but since they also were not bound by any law, they squashed many, m any more innocents in catching the few.

Probably more info than you bargained for, but that's my position thus far.

Cordially,
GE

They don't, really. The Left has fought our presence in Iraq tooth and nail. If GWB had not gone into Iraq, trust me, the Left would be hollering and screaming about our continued presence in Afghanistan.

I see why you asked the question then. I wondered why you asked the question you did.

I will only respond that I don't think it's shredding the Constitution for us to listen to jihadists talking with Americans. Neither, obviously, do appeals courts which have consistently ruled for the Government in this matter.

All presidents have retained the Constitutional authority to do whatever is necessary to protect the citizens of the United States. Even Carter's Attorney General made a statement, when Carter signed FISA into law, that this in no way took away the Constitutional authority of the presiden to override the new law if the president thought it was necessary to protect the citizens of the country.

As well, I always find it interesting that the president has been granted authority to kill terrorists. But he can't listen to their phone conversations.

But I understand that you feel differently.

Exactly. The Neville Chamberlains among us have done the country a great disservice and the jihadists must be laughing their heads off. For that alone, I'll never forgive the Rats.

The indictment says they were seeking funding, including potential government grants. Do they mean United States or Ohio government?

From the indictment:
On or about April 4, 2005, EL-HINDI met with an accountant in Dearborn, Michigan, to begin the process of creating a new non-profit organization that would be used to receive grant funds, under the guise of providing tax educator services.

According to the indictment from the US Attorney's office, the suspects are Mohammad Zaki Amawi, Marwan Othman El-Hindi, and Wassim Mazloum.

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed that all were anglo saxon militants. Boy, was I wrong!!!

I don't know. Perhaps both.

BTW, if it's so easy to get gummint grants, I need to look into getting me some. ;-)

They have the most unbelievable mosque here. I am new(er) to the area, but am told that it is the largest between DC and the Mississippi (lol or something like that). I don't understand why they would have built it here in Toledo though, when there is a huge muslim population up around detroit?
