FORT LAUDERDALE – Broward’s second amateur terrorist pleaded guilty Thursday morning to a single conspiracy count in federal court.

Imran Mandhai, a 19-year-old community college student from Hollywood, pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to use arson or explosives to destroy property used in interstate commerce -- the Florida Power & Light plant at Port Everglades, other substations in Broward, among other targets.

I wonder what their actual sentence will be, given that this was a plea bargain--probably a whole lot less than 20 years.

FYI ... these guys were supposedly/apparently "going it on their own".

Amateur terrorists, huh? Is that supposed to make us feel better? Atta, Jarrah, and Hanjour were amateur pilots too, but they got it right the first time and killed 3000 people! Do these idiots in the press really think there are "professional" terrorists out there that have blown up hundreds of buildings?? They're ALL amateurs the first time!

During WWII, German sabateurs were landed by submarine. They were caught, tried by tribunal and executed. A few of them were naturalized citizens.

How is this any different?

Imran Mandhai ?
Shueyb Mossa Jokhan ?

How much do you want to bet these guys could waltz through airport security while Ole and Lena Oleson from Bemidji, Minnesota are being strip searched on their way to an AARP convention?

I guess profiling based on their country of origin or their names would not have helped here...

These scum will just keep clogging up our justice system and prisons - I resent having to house and feed the vermin of the world that wants to bring the USofA down.

Howsabout just.....well, I guess I can't say that - it would be insensitive, and we know how that would offend some of our liberal friends. Whoa...howsabout including the liberals with the scum in the plan I can't talk about?

That would solve everything!

Last Sunday I flew from Daytona Beach to Marathon and back. On the return leg I was under flight following from Homestead ATC, they emphatically warned me to avoid the power plant that sits off the coast. I complied thank you very much.

What I would like to know, why are these two scumbags not at Gitmo with the rest of the scum?

Why 20 years in prison? Crisp the critters for terrorism!
