Not so sure it's just personal: Washington claimed he and Patterson were members of Jamaâat al Islam, and claimed the group was the largest Muslim extremist organization inside California prisons

We need prison reform in the counrty. Take all the violent offenders and dump them on some island some where and let them fend for them selves. Pitcarin sounds good. Maybe if they had to spend all of their time just feeding themselves it might help. The non violent first timers might be able to be saved but any violent offenders get to go to the island and nobody gets voted off.

#9 Re: "their own personal jihad" - points taken. I was referring more to the execution and planning than the inspiration (also a lame attempt at humor). Not to minimize the risk of JaI-type groups, but from what I've read, it doesn't sound so much like an organized-from-above situation as inspired-from-above, although there could very well be more to it than is apparent. It strikes me more like the El-Al shootup at LAX or the DC-area sniper case than a 3/11 or 7/7.

Personally, I think this is the type of terrorism we're going to see more of here than the highly organized 9/11 scenarios. And, I agree that the
recruitment problem in our prisons must be cleaned up.

There, have I qualified my statement enough, or should I tap dance some more?

#10 I used to think the island-for-murderers answer was the best, but I'm beginning to lean toward dropping them into the Darien jungle in Panama, instead. In their birthday suits.

The Darien is one of the few remaining "unspoiled" jungles in the world, full of nasty creatures ranging from little flies that drive you mad to fer-de-lance, one of the most poisonous snakes in the world, to the Darien natives, who still practice head-hunting and cannibalism. There's also all kinds of nasty poisonous plants to deal with, plus about 800 inches of rain a year.

If anybody survived, you'd know about it by the green color of their skin - resulting in coming in contact with some of the vegetation there.

#11 This could be a harbinger of things to go boom on 9/11-2005. In addition to LA, Chicago, D.C., and NYC are high on the "hit" parade.

#12 All Things Considered/NPR reported tonight that these guys were linked to a pakistani and planned attacks on the Israeli consulate in LA among other targets.
