Next time someone whines about Ashcroft's dragnet, refer them to this story. This clown was going to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge!

[soccermom]

I did a search and didn't find this. Hope it isn't a repeat.

[Guillermo]

"Mohammed" is quite the common name in Islam (and Belgium, it's #1 among newborn males).

[soccermom]

And your point is?????

[Rudder]

Those of us who live in the Columbus area eagerly await media follow-up on this story. Of particular interest to us are this guy's fellow terrorists who live here.

[Dog]

This guy was a trucker his buddies in the sleeper cell could be spread across the country I'm afraid.

[woztnar]

Yet another scum bag terrorist bites the dust.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

guillermo is quite the common name in Mexico amongst illegal aliens.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Well, here is more proof that Ashcroft and the rest of them aren't doing anything to fight the war on terrorism, and all they are doing is taking away my rights. I feel *so* abused.

Thanks for the post.

Eyes wide open for anything that doesn't look right... Thanks for the post.

This clown was going to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge!

the article says he decided not to.

[flutters]

Under an agreement with the Justice Department unsealed Thursday, Faris pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists and conspiracy to provide support. He also agreed to cooperate with government investigators.

The agreement was filed with the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., just outside Washington on May 1, but was kept secret for over a month.

I wish we would have been told about this earlier. I guess we just never know where these guys are hiding.

Two words...

KILL HIM!

Well that makes it all better then.

[Emma]

if you say so.

[Malesherbes]

According to Fox this man became a citizen in 1999. Wasn't this the year that Clinton and Reno naturalized a million new Democrats? (Among them thousands of felons.)

[Rummyfan]

Let's see, that's two counts at twenty years each, to be served consecutively and not concurrently. See ya Habib!

"This clown was going to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge!"

It is much safer to just sell it.

[TBall]

derail trains? Hmmm... Remember about a year ago it seemed like every other week a train would jump off the track. It was considered tin foil to wonder if there was any terrorist involvement. It was all just the heat bending the track.
