Faheem Khalid Lodhi, 36, a Pakistan-born architect, was convicted by a New South Wales Supreme Court jury in June on terrorist charges of trying to buy chemicals that could be used to make explosives and obtaining maps of the national power grid.

We can say it,even if cnn can't.

20 years is a good start. Life sounds better to me. We ought to be doing this to the eco-terrorists and bunny huggers too. Get them out of civilization forever, even on the first offense.
