#1 According to the indictment, Abu Ali obtained a religious blessing from another unidentified co-conspirator to assassinate the president.

More than 100 supporters of Abu Ali crowded the courtroom and laughed when the charge was read aloud alleging that he conspired to assassinate Bush.

All I can add is, "Pay attention America. Pay *very* close attention."

#2 80 years sounds about right if there's no chance of parole.

#3 100 "supporters", eh?

Somebody there taking their pictures? Be sure to make the burka-clad oncover their faces; not all of them are women.

I especially love the bit about his plan getting a religious blessing. From an Aztec priest, no doubt.

#4 A former high school valedictorian

obtained a religious blessing from another unidentified co-conspirator

Hmmm- Anyone check the roster of High School Principals in Virginia for someone converting to Wahabism. Particularly his? Or at least one of his teachers who may have been very adamant about his "selection"???

Remember? That Poison Pen Principal up in New Jersey was doing his level best to demoralize troops according to yesterdays article in the NY Post :

RB Yesterday

So, there coiuld be a traitor amongst the Virginia School Principals or school administrators if this animal was a valedictorian.

#5 Zero factor still in play. The political world will change as drastic as 9/11, if it happens. To parapharse someone else - if you strike me down, you will only make me more powerful.

#6 "Offered . . . to show the judge his scars". Such an offer might play with the press, but it is nearly meaningless as a legal matter: First, the mere fact of scars does not prove the cause for the scars. Second, even if he did receive the scars in detention, it could be for any number of reasons (sadistic prison guard, etc). Third, being beaten by X does not mean you did not plan to kill Y. Here, being beaten by Saudis might a cause of desire to kill a US figure: The US supports the Saudis, the Saudis beat me up, therefore, I take revenge on the US. Et cetera.

#8 doubt this kid was capable however, you have to take this seriously (depending on the evidence). The crowd of supporters might've been laughing because they knew the defendant didn't intend to assasinate the President. Virginia's no stranger to terror (radical Muslim snipers) so they'll probably throw the book at him. He can show his scars to his cellmate.

#12 agree with #1 comments from AZCat.

start by closing all wahabi islam mosques in the US and deporting their clerics and inner circle.

#13 Dina Araz and her husband, Navi Araz, sat in the courtroom and wept tears of pride as their son, Behrooz (aka Abu Ali), was formerly charged with plotting to assassinate the POTUS. Navi Araz was heard to mutter "Today my son is finally a man."

#15 From My Pet Jawa (thanx Google News!), here's some info on Ali's high school:

According to the Washington Post and reprinted in the NY Times, he attended the Islamic Saudi Academy in Alexandria Virginia. While family and friends feign that he is the victim of anti-Muslim discrimination, the Jawa Report can reveal that the school in question follows the radical Wahhabi curriculum of the Saudi Ministry of Education. Until recent protest by the US goverment, this curriculum has included anti-Semetic and anti-Christian bigotry and overt calls to jihad.

Read the whole thing.

#17 Emily,

It sounds like half the kids at that school are Americans. How can that be? It's certainly not accreditted. Is this a matter of discussion in DC right now?

#18 They are not Americans. They are American passport carriers.
They can be born here. They can live here for most of their lives but their loyalties will always lie with the islamic world.
My neighbors in Saudi, a palestinian married to an egyptian, lived in Orange County, California for 20 years. Both became Americans while living here and on Sept 11th they both walked around with big smiles on their fu*** faces. They have four potential terrorists...all Americans!
