Another video shows former Tampa professor calling for jihad
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A former Florida university professor accused of aiding Palestinian terrorists was seen on a video Wednesday exhorting an Islamic audience “to adopt the choice of jihad.”
It was the second video shown to a federal trial jury in which since-fired University of South Florida engineering professor Sami Al-Arian called on a Muslim audience to engage in religious warfare. Another speaker asked the crowd to donate money to equip “a holy warrior.”
I wonder if these sites have access to it?

Of course, it could be listed on other monitoring

TAMPA - Prosecutors began introducing transcripts of wiretapped telephone conversations and faxes in the Sami Al-Arian trial on Wednesday.
The conversations and faxes were not read or displayed to the jury by the afternoon lunch break, as attorneys spent much of the morning arguing outside the presence of jurors over the admissibility of the exhibits.
The time spent in front of the jury was mostly taken up by Assistant U.S. Attorney Cherie Krigsman laying a foundation with government translator Tahsim Ali, trying to establish how he identified speakers in each conversation.
Outside the presence of the jury, U.S. District Judge James S. Moody granted a request by Kevin Beck, an attorney for defendant Hatim Naji Fariz that he strike a reference by Fariz in one conversation to the United States as ``the great Satan,'' a phrase Beck said was highly inflammatory.
