NEW YORK – With a landscape that evoked Afghanistan, a rural town in Oregon seemed in James Ujaama's mind to be the perfect setting for a militant jihad training camp to teach Muslim fighters survival and combat skills.

The terrorist camp Ujaama envisioned to produce fighters against the Taliban's enemies in Afghanistan never came to fruition, and he no longer supports terrorist causes, he told a jury during a terrorism trial Wednesday in Manhattan federal court.

"I sympathized and I have supported terrorists in the past, which was foolish. I was not thinking at that time and I wish I had not done that," said Ujaama, a Muslim convert who lived in Seattle and was convicted of helping the Taliban.

As I understand it, lying through your teeth, especially to the infidels, is an accepted behavior in the diseased Muslim “culture”.

Is AP schizophrenic? They call it “militancy” in the title then use “terrorist” in the story.

I think it’s Rooters that denies the existence of terrorists. However, it is pretty stunning that the MSM would report this....after all, I thought white male militias were the problem!

I don’t see what the problem is here. He’s a muslim setting up a training camp. We all know there is no muslim terrorism or any global war on terror. There is only an overseas contingency operation. Muslims are not a group on the homeland security watch list. Only veterans, PTA members and pro life activists are to be watched. Set this man free. </sarcasm>

During the time this ‘camp’ was operating, we camped only a few miles from it and didn’t even know it was there. I’m glad I didn’t stumble on to it accidentally.

"During the time this ‘camp’ was operating, we camped only a few miles from it and didn’t even know it was there."

From how the article was written, it sounds to me like the camp never actually got going. They had picked out a site but no training actually went on. If you had been camping a few miles away while training was going on, I would think there's a good chance that you would have heard gunfire.

"And, for goodness sakes, don’t waterboard him or check if they have maps / video / photographs of U.S. facilities."

According to TOTUS there are other ways to get that information out of him. We could talk nicely to him, give him candy bars and make him feel all snuggly and loved. Then he would have gladly given up the information we need.

It was near Bly, Oregon in 1945 that the only people killed on the mainland USA by the enemy occured. 6 people were killed when a Japanese balloon bomb exploded.

Maybe it is one of Pres O’s reeducation camps!
