And they studied soccer in Afghanistan?
I thought they played with a decapitated goat there.
That would have to be Hildebeast, because without the repeal of the 22nd amendment (won't happen) Bill's signature on another pardon would not be worth the paper it's written on. A pardon for these traitors would be extremely controversial so it would probably have to come at the end of a second term of a president.
If President Bush serves two terms, these traitors might all be executed before the start of the next president's term. 2008 is a long way off, who knows which candidates will be in a positon to win that Presidential election? Hillary is 54 now, and will be 60 in 2008. If she doesn't win a presidential election by 2012, I doubt she would ever be president. Therefore I can't imagine a pardon for these traitors prior to 2017 or 2021. My guess is if they are convicted of treason and are sentenced to death, that death sentence will be carried out long before that time period.
I hope for their sake, the FBI has something rock solid on this group and aren't just grabbing headline space on the anniversary of 9/11.Supposedly they have quite a bit. They have been watching these guys for awhile, based on suspicious activity reported by their (Islamic) neighbors. In other words, this is an example of internal security working the way it's supposed to.

My quick thought. The FBI left one guy free so that they could monitor him when he began to alert other members/groups. I would expect more arrests, eventually.
Let's add that the town in question is near the Canadian border. The first paragraph in post #8 above mentions Muslim Youth Organizations in North America. One of those "medical students" stopped down in Florida is involved with one such organization in Canada. Hmm.
Actually, I was making a joke. I realise that Clinton can't pre-sign pardons. LOL. He would if he could.
Pardons for sale! Pardons for sale! Do I have a bid?
From the article:
charged Saturday with providing "material support" for Qaeda terrorists.Since OBL declared war on the U.S. in 1995, they could possibly be charged with treason somewhere down the road. Since that requires two witnesses, and these guys are unlikely to testify against each other, that may not be an option.The five men charged Saturday were accused of undergoing weapons training at a Qaeda camp in Afghanistan in the spring and summer of 2001
