#3 This reminds me of a Frontline show I watched last night about all the follow-up convictions after 9/11 and plots to harm the US. I know, it was Frontline, and at first they did a good job (examined the Lodi, Calif. case, mentioned the GA Tech students here in Atlanta, and other smaller cases). Of course, at the end, it was all "they were interrogated harshly, and brought up on lesser charges" (like financial support of groups, being caught on tape expressing jihad, etc.). As if we want to wait until AFTER the next event happens to arrest people. Much like how the Feds took down the Mafia (through tax evasion and mail fraud charges), these "lesser" charges get rid of some nefarious jihadis that don't belong here. Can't wait to see what PBS has to say about this case.

#4 BA I was thinking the same thing. When I found out that the PBS Frontline show was done with the New York Times I knew we were in for a smoke job. With this morning's Albany news, the Frontline producers are left twisting in their Islamic terrorist excusing winds.

But why weren't these Muslims brought up on terrorist charges as a capital crime?! Lesser charges my ass. To me the Feds are being pussies. This is akin to plea agreements!

Spit.

#5 Once they're convicted and imprisoned for one thing, it's easy enough to dig deeper and find other things to keep them there, and to track down all their connections. "Terrorism" or "conspiracy" are hard to get convictions on; "money laundering", on the other hand...

#6 I have my doubts about this entire case. Here we have convicted terrorists from New York and nowhere is there any mention of Lackawanna. This whole thing is off of the rails.
