#1 Offhand, I cannot think of any defenses to sending info on military movements to terrorists. "I was smacked on the butt by daddy, so I had a terrible childhood and should be forgiven for treason. Please stop laughing, I'm serious, and it worked for Michael Jackson." Abujihaad worked hard to get arrested, and he is a poor man who is about to become known as a poor bast*rd.

#2 "Abujihaad, who is also known as Paul R. Hall."

Convert or Infidel cover name?

#3 I suspect the Abu Jihad part of his name is the 'new', enlightened identity.

#5 Doesn't "Abu Jihad" mean something like "father of jihad" and thus "father of holy war"?

Mighta been a clue the guy wasn't a loyal citizen.

Convert sounds right to me, too. Abu Jihad is in the same vein as the nomme de guerres (spelling? French isn't one of my languages) taken by jihadi terrorists. As for what Mr Abu Jihad has been doing post 9/11, hopefully having his links traced until they absolutely had to bring him in.

#11 actually a "dyied on the wool muslim" usually refers to cardiac arrest while flagrante delicto with a sheep, common enuf among the moon cult :-)

#12 Doesn't Abu mean "son of" rather than "father of" ?
Son of the Holy War sounds more likely to me.

#14 Frank! Latin?

In flagrante delicto or sometimes simply in flagrante (Latin: "while [the crime] is blazing") is a legal term used to indicate that a criminal has been caught in the act of committing an offense (compare corpus delicti). The colloquial "caught red-handed" or "caught in the act" are English equivalents.

The Latin term has come to be used far more often as a euphemism for a couple being caught in the act of sexual congress; in modern usage the intercourse need not be adulterous or illicit.

#17 Not to drag out the finer points of Frank's Latin and all, but shouldn't that (#11) read:

"dyied in the wool muslim"

I mean, in the name of reporting the truth, and all.
