#3 Her lawyer said she never intended to engage in terrorism and her glorification of holy war only had 'poetic' meaning.

Much of modern law strongly relies upon precedent. To date, a significant number of terrorists have left these "martyrdom letters" behind as they trotted off to commit complete and total mayhem. Amongst those who have done so are some who have committed the most heinous atrocities in recent history.

The courts have every reason to accept such compositions as being in earnest and should act upon them as statements of intent. If they are set in sonant phrasing, go ahead and call them 'poetic', but don't hope to pass them off as Shakespeare's sonnets.

Anyone willing to bet that this woman's anticipation of killing her own infant son will not prove to be sufficient cause for the court's removing him from her custody?
