Of course they will - just as Mumia Abu-Jamal's defenders apologized when he was found guilty.

You have to wonder how many guys are out in our country and who have been here for years doing precisely the same thing al Arian was doing.
I do believe the left wing of politics that runs our media elite may be the death of the Republic yet.

Don't hold your breath waiting for apologies from Al-Arian supporters. OR from the jury who opted to find him "not guilty." He is a terrorist, plain and simple. I'm just happy we won't be subjected any more to his obnoxious wife mouthing off to the media about what an innocent lamb he is. Good riddance to the whole family.

>"The al-Arian story reveals what happens when journalists and Leftist academics, abandoning their role as unbiased observers, lead an ignorant, alarmist crusade against Americans who in a time of war try to defend our country from those whose politics make them the darlings of the Leftist media and academic establishment.">

That's why they're called the Enemedia!

Here's how the Tampa Bay Coalition for Justice and Peace at the Free Sami Al-Arian website is spinning the guilty plea...

"At this time, it can be confirmed that in exchange for Dr. Al-Arian’s plea on one of the lesser charges, the government has agreed to drop all remaining charges and expedite his release and voluntary departure to another country. We welcome this resolution following an ordeal that kept Dr. Al-Arian from his family for over three years..."

"The decision to accept the product of these negotiations was made by the Al-Arian family as a whole. Their concern first and foremost was to end Dr. Al-Arian’s suffering. Even after he spent two years in solitary confinement under harsh conditions in a federal penitentiary while awaiting trial, and following his acquittal on the most serious charges, Dr. Al-Arian’s conditions of confinement have remained deplorable. His release will also reunite him with his youngest children, who have been traumatized by their father’s absence in the past three years."
