Son of Oklahoma City bomber facing prison in Las Vegas case
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The son of Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols could be sentenced to up to 17 years in prison following his conviction on four felonies and a misdemeanor in a stolen car case.
Joshua Nichols, 23, was acquitted Tuesday of the two most serious charges on which he was tried - attempted murder of two officers with a deadly weapon, the vehicle.
A Clark County District Court judge set sentencing for April 26 on two charges of assault with the use of a deadly weapon, plus resisting an officer and possession of a stolen vehicle, all felonies. He's also charged with battery of an officer, a gross misdemeanor.
Defense lawyers and Nichols' mother, Lana Padilla, called the verdict a victory because the jury acquitted him of charges carried a possible sentence of four to 40 years in prison. Padilla is Terry Nichols' ex-wife.(snip)

Carrying a gun does not make you well armed and capable of repelling a terrorist attack. You've got to practice. You've got to get into a tactical mindset and that includes knowing when NOT to take the shot. It means getting closer to the danger than might be comfortable in order to effect meaningful change. It goes far beyond a CCW and a decent gun in a decent holster. If you don't practice for combat, you're just going to add to the carnage...and hurt our cause at the same time. Can't you see the headlines:
Gun Owner Adds to Death Toll in Terror Strike!
Witness account: There I was huddled down with my mom out of the sight of those awful men! Suddenly mom JERKED and slumped over! Blood poured from her wound. I looked behind me and straight into the eyes of some yahoo with a smoking 45! Mom died.
If you're going to act....do it right! Sheepdogs can't panic under pressure and make matters worse for the sheep.
Did you all see this red letter headline on Drudge? The newly released documents are finally going mainstream
ABC NEWS: Bin Laden sought 'operational' relationship with Saddam for attacks on U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia eight months before Riyadh bombings...

Very much worth repeating ExSoldier! Training and practice are key.
Why do I have the Magilla Gorilla song in my head now?

VETERAN PAKISTANI ARMS DEALER CONVICTED IN PLOT TO ILLEGALLY EXPORT U.S. FIGHTER JET COMPONENTS TO MIDDLE EAST
SAN DIEGO – -- United States Attorney Carol C. Lam announced that today a federal jury in San Diego found Arif Ali Durrani guilty of multiple violations of the Arms Export Control Act. Specifically, the jury convicted Durrani of four counts of Exporting Defense Articles Without a License and one count of Conspiracy to Commit Offenses Against the United States.
According to Assistant United States Attorney William Cole, who prosecuted the case, the evidence at trial established that Durrani intentionally conspired with other persons to illegally export military aircraft parts from the United States to the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, and Belgium. The illegal exports included: temperature control amplifiers for the General Electric J85 turbine engine used on the F-5 fighter and other military aircraft; an afterburner hydraulic actuator for the J85 engine; and 1st Stage Turbine Nozzles for the Honeywell T55 engine used on the Chinook military helicopter.
At trial, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents testified that many of the military components in Durrani’s illegal export plot were ultimately destined for Iran. According to court documents, Durrani, a Pakistani national, was previously convicted in 1987 of violating the Arms Export Control Act by illegally exporting HAWK missile system components from the United States to Iran. Durrani was subsequently ordered deported from the United States. The evidence at trial established that, after his deportation, Durrani settled in Rosarito Beach, Mexico, and from there orchestrated the illegal exports for which the jury found him guilty today.
The conviction today stemmed from an extensive investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Department of Homeland Security, and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service. United States Attorney Lam stated, "The Arms Export Control Act exists to prevent exactly what Durrani tried to do in this case - profit from illegal, international arms trafficking." "Durrani is one of ICE's most significant arms trafficking targets in recent years. Today's conviction is testament to the perseverance of ICE agents, who, for nearly two decades, have conducted multiple investigations to expose and halt Durrani's repeated attempts to illegally export arms," said Serge Duarte, Acting Special Agent-in-Charge for ICE investigations in San Diego.
"DCIS protects America's Warfighters by working to ensure defense technology is not stolen by those who could use it against the United States or its allies," said Richard W. Gwin, Special Agent in Charge, Defense Criminal Investigative Service. Durrani is scheduled to appear for sentencing before United States District Court Judge Larry A. Burns on June 5, 2006, at 9:30 a.m.

Canada: Misunderstander of Islam had detonators at home
I could write what I just wrote all over again, or you could read it here. "Canadian had detonators at home," from the National Post, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
LONDON - When Mounties raided the Ottawa residence of Momin Khawaja two years ago, they found homemade electronic equipment to detonate bombs in London and elsewhere in the United Kingdom, possibly including Europe's largest shopping centre, a British prosecutor revealed in court yesterday.
They also discovered unspecified "documents" about Islamic jihad, or holy war, and Mr. Khawaja's "radical views in that direction," Crown attorney David Waters told the Old Bailey trial of seven young Britons charged with plotting a terror campaign against Britain for its support of the U.S. war against Islamic extremists. The men deny the charges....

A rainbow colored sheep in some English nurseries
Cox Newspapers ^ | March 22, 2006
LONDON — Has anyone ever actually seen a rainbow-colored sheep? That's surely what a few British toddlers are asking.
Teachers at nursery schools in Oxfordshire, England, have asked children to change the words of the song "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" to "Baa, baa, rainbow sheep" in what some say is an attempt to avoid offending anyone.
