It is said that those who lie with dogs get fleas. Looks like this fellow got in bed with a whole bunch of mongrel dogs.
"The oozing sympathy in this article is just slimy."
It really, really is. It sounds like the accused has more dignity that his family and the reporter.
What if it turns out that this guy really is a terrorist, will we hear about the apple blossoms, or whatever the heck it was, then?
Every single one of these home grown terrorists have elicited a sympathetic response from the media, even the younger of the beltway snipers. Ok, the older guy the media wasn't so nice to. What is wrong with these people? The terrorists want to kill them too, why don't they grasp that? Have they forgotten Daniel Pearl?

It's not like they just bumped into one another on the bus. They go to the same mosque! He volunteered to represent Battle for free, his name wasn't randomly selected, and he did so knowing who Jeffrey Battle is. How could anyone possibly say that's a coincidence?
Whatever the facts in this case may be, the behavior of the press and everyone surrounding Mr. Mayfield screams "GUILTY!"
Like Mr. Mayfield, I have faith in our legal system as well. It is by no means perfect, but it will get to the bottom of this.
Thanks for the update. I've been worrying that this case would fall off the earth.
