What a difference a year makes! Not that I ever had any doubt about his involvement - but I think even Salon would find it hard to defend now.

This is SWEET...

Ashcroft is supposed to have a press conference on Al-Arian's indictment around 1 o'clock today

Steve Emerson was on Tampa radio today and said the indictment was over 20 pages long- quite substantial. It covers a background of terrorism going back 15 years- even before the founding of WISE

Hey Sami, maybe you can teach advanced jihad at Gitmo. At least until they hang you.
