I’m sure that their lawyers tactic will be to appeal all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court - seems their is a 5 to 4 plurality for sympathetic treatment fot terriorists there!!

These three are enemy combatants in the war on terror. They should have been tried by a military tribunal and summarily executed.

Fighting a war in courts of law is sheer lunacy.

Any Code Pinko protesters picketing for their appeal?

How about antiwar protesters condemning them for furthering the length of the war?

"manipulated by a government informant"

...who singled them out because of their ethnicity. It's racial profiling, I tell you. They are innocent as newborn lambs.

Ohio jury convicts 3 in plot to kill U.S. troops

This is good news, I didn't know that Durbin, Pelosi, and Reid had been charged. Glad that a jury figured out what they have been up to.

Don’t worry. The supreme court will award them their freedom, a million dollars each for their troubles, and free iphones all around (to their lawyers to).

Yippee! The supremes love terrorists! Hip! Hip! Hooray!

Terrorists get to strike another day!

Two years is a pretty long time to manipulate someone to do something they don’t want to do...

I view this defense attorney's arguments the way I view Obama’s 20 relationship with Rev. Wright. If this had been an investigation of a few weeks duration, maybe, but 2 years? An FBI agent is supposed to have “influenced” these weak minded jackasses for 2 YEARS? Give me a break!

Defense attorneys are the scum of the earth.

Amazing. The story did not name the defense attorneys.

The men — Mohammad Amawi, 28, Marwan El-Hindi, 45, and Wassim Mazloum, 27 — face a maximum sentence of life in prison. Prosecutors said the men were learning to shoot guns and make explosives while raising money to fund their plans to wage a holy war against U.S. troops.

The FBI initially heard about El-Hindi in 00 , while investigating a group of men suspected of promoting fundamentalist Islam in Iraq. The FBI videotaped a meeting in Washington, D.C. in 2002 attended by Rafil Dhafir, a doctor from New York, and two others in which Dhafir mentioned El-Hindi as "one of the brothers from Toledo" who was adept at coming up with money-making schemes. 6 El-Hindi was involved in numerous business endeavors supported by Dhafir over the years. Dhafir was arrested in 00 and charged with funneling proceeds from an Islamic charity, called Help the Needy, to Iraq in violation of U.S. sanctions. He received a 22-year sentence. It remains unclear how Dhafir and El-Hindi originally met. ---------Preventing Jihad in Toledo June 22, 2006 http://www.preventivestrategies.net/public/library_file_proxy.cfm?lid=37.
