The Pennsylvania woman who dubbed herself Jihad Jane is an American who lived literally on Main Street in an apartment where she spent much time online, posting messages saying she was "desperate to do something" to help Muslims. Colleen LaRose, a 46-year-old who converted to Islam, has been indicted, accused of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and kill a person in a foreign country, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.

'Jihad Jane' indictment alleges threat from within U.S. American Colleen R. LaRose, 46, is accused of using the Internet to recruit and assist Muslim terrorist operations in Europe and Asia. Reporting from Washington - Using e-mail, YouTube videos, phony travel documents and a burning desire to kill "or die trying," a middle-aged American woman from Pennsylvania helped recruit a network for suicide attacks and other terrorist strikes in Europe and Asia, according to a federal grand jury indictment unsealed Tuesday.

I mentioned Samar Spinelli, pictured to the left, last month. She’s the former sister-in-law of national security nightmare Nada Prouty, the illegal alien Lebanese fraudster who recently admitted faking a marriage to gain US citizenship that helped her secure jobs with the FBI and CIA–and also confessed to tapping into government databases for secret information on her sister and brother-in-law, both linked to the Middle East terror group Hezbollah. Spinelli herself has now ‘fessed up. Via Stars and Stripes (hat tip - Dev): A Marine captain assigned to the Okinawa-based 1st Marine Aircraft Wing pleaded guilty Tuesday to faking a...

“Silence is no longer an option.” That was Jane Fonda’s explanation for coming out of her supposed protest retirement and joining the anti-war radicals who converged on the nation’s capital last weekend. Fonda’s conscience had apparently been tormenting her about the U.S. trying to save Iraq from radical Islam -- and so she could stay quiet no longer. In her speech to the anti-war crowd, Fonda championed American defeat in Iraq and compared the war to Vietnam, condemning what she called America’s “blindness to realities on the ground.” Fonda, of course, exhibited tremendous perception of “realities on the ground” three...

When I was a young teenager, the boys loved the sexy Jane Fonda in Barbarella. After I became an American soldier and a Vietnam veteran, she was "Hanoi Jane" to all of us. We were disgusted when she became a revolutionary and a communist sympathizer who sat on North Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns and gave aid and comfort to our enemy. Now Hanoi Jane has become "Jihad Jane," and she has decided that the terrorists of the world who cut off people's heads and blow themselves up to kill innocent men, women and children are not as bad as the Americans...

I finally found a link to Jihad Jane Fonda’s over the top remarks regarding the US withdrawal from Vietnam, and the ensuing massacre of South Vietnamese and Cambodians: ( BOR Talking points memo ) "What do you think about what happened to the three million Vietnamese and Cambodians who died after the U.S. troops left Vietnam?" FONDA: "It’s too bad that we caused it to happen by going in there in the first place. " The remembrances of the Cambodian killing fields are to many people reduced to photos of neatly stacked bones and skulls for the records of posterity....

Hanoi Jane and Mr. Oil for Food bribe taker, UK politician, George Galloway will be touring the US in September. Little Green Footballs has the dates here. We all know Jane's never ending support for communism, which began when she supported the commies in Vietnam. Galloway, likewise stated, "The worst day in my life was the day the Soviet Union fell." These two losers will team up together, beginning in Boston on September 13th. To call them losers, I suppose has to be an understatement. Communism, once the darling of all liberal ideologies, and once a threat to the world,...

Jane Fonda Cancels Anti-War Bus Tour Jane Fonda told me yesterday she's scrapped plans for anti-war bus trip next March. As well, Fonda will be making only two appearances this month on another rally with controversial British politician George Galloway, not the eight that were widely misreported in the press yesterday. Why the change of plans? Certainly, Fonda is still very much against the war in Iraq and in favor of helping our troops there. But she said that she didn't want to distract people from Cindy Sheehan's bus trip, already under way and gathering support.

Why the change of plans? Certainly, Fonda is still very much against the war in Iraq and in favor of helping our troops there. Fonda will appear with Galloway — who is vehemently anti-George Bush — in Madison, Wis., on Sept. 18 and in Chicago, Ill., on Sept 19....

Fonda will join Galloway's anti-Bush tour By Paul Martin THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published September 5, 2005 LONDON -- Jane Fonda will join George Galloway, the most radical member of the British parliament, on a tour of the United States to accuse the Bush administration of spending money on Iraq that should be spent to help the poor of New Orleans.     The argument, likely to offend many Americans, follows British newspaper and television coverage of Hurricane Katrina that focused on the bungled handling of the aftermath of the storm.     Mr. Galloway, a passionate supporter of anti-Western causes in the Arab world,...

Left pounces THE controversial MP George Galloway, who is to tour America this month accompanied by Jane Fonda, the Hollywood star, will be sharpening his critique of the Iraq war in the light of President George W Bush’s difficulties in coping with the effects of hurricane Katrina. As Denise Bollinger, a tourist stranded in New Orleans said, “It’s downtown Baghdad.” The anti-war left has been quick to suggest that American troops, including members of the Louisiana National Guard — many of whom are deployed in Iraq — would prefer to be helping their own citizens rather than facing Islamic insurgents....

Lucky old America. Their greatest Oscar-winning, anti-war virago Miss Jane Fonda is coming out of 30 years of self-imposed retirement from campaigning to let it be known that her compatriots' presence in Iraq is, frankly, iffy. She has not taken a stand on any war, she says, since Vietnam when she famously - or infamously, depending where you stand - hoisted herself atop a big fat north Vietnamese gun and smiled prettily for the cameras. But enough is enough of the subsequent silence, so she has announced to cheering throngs that she is to take a bus tour right across...

I write a monthly column in North Carolina entitled “Course of the Month”, which acts as a Golden Fleece Award for ridiculous courses taught in this state's colleges and universities. Sometimes I decide a course is too deserving of attention to keep it within the confines of North Carolina. The course I am about to describe is not only worthy of such an honor, but, in my view, it ascends to the top of all the crackpot courses I've written about since 1996. If you think the Bush administration planned the 9/11 attacks to give it an excuse to wage...
