| #7 Duffy's contention that Are-not had to pay off the fighters to get access to the widows and children sounds like a croc to me. Duffy also said in today's Tribune, "That's all it was, access." An affadavit by the commander of the Bosnian Army said that other American charities, Protestant and Catholic did the same, said Duff. "You don't see them here." Ok, Duff, we want names; otherwise, save it for the appeal. Patrick Fitzgerald: "Mr. Arnaout can run around and blame everyone else, but he ought to look in the mirror and say,'Why am I here? I'm here because I lied, I deceived people, I was involved with people I shouldn't have been involved with, I supported fighters when I went around telling people that I didn't.'" I read in the Trib sometime in the past 12 months that good-ol-boy Enaam met a Texas nurse in Afghanistan back in the 80's, whom he later married. As soon as they got back to States, and once he was OK document-wise, he dumped her and married a good traditional Syrian girl, and brought her to Chi-town. THEN, in Bosnia, he married a local Muslim girl, had a kid or two with her. IIRC, the Syrian gal said it was OK with her. Yeah, sure. The guy is scum. BTW, maybe Are-not can blame his predicament on the Protocols of the Sons and Daughters of Erin. Judge Conlon, Lawyer Duffy, Prosecutor Fitzgerald. How do I know? Peter Fitzgerald, US Senator (no relation) got Bush to appoint Patrick head honcho in N. Illinois district. It's the Irish, the Irish. |

| #6 We need to close this loophole In Canada, if the new Canada Immigration Act is instituted as it was tabled, it won't matter if you received citizenship the day before you committed a terrorist act, or are charged with terrorism etc; if you have another citizenship, you will be deported. This is why I've been saying that governments will now favour multiple-citizenship because it makes it possible to deport someone. No more loophole. The only smart thing the Liberal gov't in Canada did over the past couple of years. |

| #5 Revoke his citizenship and send him back to Syria after he serves his time. Permanent residents get deported if they're convicted of a felony. This is why so many people are getting naturalized all of a sudden. We need to close this loophole - naturalized citizens who are convicted of a felony related to terrorism ought to be subject to denaturalization and deportation. We already do this to Nazis, who present no threat to our security - so why not terrorist sponsors? |

| #2 Ten years is a slap on the wrist, IMHO. He also needs a tracking anklet so we can keep up with his associations until he turns 70 or so. |

| #1 Arnaout, looking tired after more than a year in solitary confinement, spoke briefly before the court, saying the Government had kidnapped him. He insisted he was innocent. Or at least he was until the prosecution began to present evidence. When do we start the "Free Enaam" movement? |
