"Muhammad spent four months in the prison before U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., was able to intercede with the State Department on his behalf, Hensley said. While in prison, Muhammad faced torture and beatings from jailers, prisoners or both that left him scarred, the lawyer said."

Sounds like a load to me.

Anybody who’s not a moron would be kissing American soil as soon as he landed after such experiences as he describes.

Looks like his defense is going to be to blame America. Somehow, we Americans willed him to seek out a soldier and pull that trigger.

It’s hard for me to imagine or believe that four months in a prison, even the horrors of a middle east prison, would change somebody’s basic character from good to evil. Maybe it was the other way around - maybe they sensed or saw that this guy is a dumbass lowlife or weak of character and would be easy to convert to terrorist.

They’ll probably drag this dem congressman into court to testify in Abdul’s behalf. I hope that works out good for the congressman come next election.

A creative diversion, but a crock nonetheless. Yemen is one of the most lawless places on earth. Who wants to go there to do volunteer work?

“While in prison, Muhammad faced torture and beatings from jailers, prisoners or both that left him scarred”

If this is in fact both true AND the motivation for his actions- wouldn't it be an example of how we SHOULD be torturing the prisoners at Gitmo before releasing them so that they would go back and kill Al Quaeda recruiters who ‘left them to the wolves’?

How come when we are accused (wrongly I submit) of torturing prisoners, we're told it's going to cause terror attacks on us; and when Muslims torture prisoners, it causes terror attacks on us?

Just asking...

So it's the government's fault he went to prison for some crime overseas?

And it's the government's fault that the terrorists are radicalized?

And it's the government's fault that this poor yute got impressionable ideas because of the ills “we do”?
