"I used to like them a lot, but now I've gone back to Boy George."

Five British citizens, who had been imprisoned for life for plotting Al Qaeda-inspired bomb attacks across Britain, lost appeals against their convictions on Wednesday. Omar Khyam, Anthony Garcia, Jawad Akbar, Waheed Mahmood and Salahuddin Amin had been given life sentences in April 2007 after being found guilty of plotting attacks on targets ranging from nightclubs to trains, and a shopping centre. Prosecutors said the convicts had planned to use 600 kg (1300 lb) of ammonium nitrate fertiliser to make bombs in revenge for Britain's support for the United States after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. Three judges at London's Court of Appeal ruled that their convictions should stand.

#1 Al-Q has already sent them their new assignments - the TDY at Belmarsh has been reclassified as a PCS, and their MOS has changed from Ops to Da'wa.

More of a lateral move than a promotion, but then they *did* fail at their primary mission.

#2 I never found them terribly appealing.

#3 I think they should be sentenced to ride on the front of subway cars in the London Underground. Just build a little platform, weld a metal chair to it, and secure them in place. They can be the first to detect any bombs placed on the tracks. Why support these a$$clowns for life, and not get something back?
