#1 Mamdouh_Mahmud_Salim - see wikipedia & Google. He was the one who, about to face trial on a previous terrorism change, fashioned a knife out of a plastic comb & stabbed a prison guard through his eye into his brain 1 Nov 2000. The guard lost his eye & is severely impaired. Salim pleaded guilty to the attack & was sentenced to 32 years for that offense alone. From National Review: "Judge Deborah Batts, the Clinton appointee assigned to the case, declined to sentence Salim to life imprisonment. Judge Batts was unmoved by the governments contention that a terrorists maiming of a prison guard might possibly have had something to do with terrorism. It didnt seem to matter that the attempted murder arose out of a plot designed to facilitate an al-Qaeda escape, or that Salim, who pled guilty to conspiracy, had admitted to planning the attack with another al-Qaeda member. Thus, the thoughtful jurist refused to apply the sentencing guideline that governs federal crimes of terrorism. Though Batts did impose a term of 32 years, a federal appellate court finally reversed her absurd ruling last year, sending the case back to her court." Salim's sentence was later 'upgraded' to life without parole.
Hamza can eat out of a trough.

#2 I'm sure that the Mythbusters could craft a nice pair of hands for him for a lot less than that. I bet they could even bury some cyanide in them.
