LinkStewart was convicted in 2005 of providing material support to terrorists. She had released a statement by Omar Abdel-Rahman, a blind sheik sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted in plots to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt’s president.
Prosecutors have called the case a major victory in the war on terrorism. They said Stewart and other defendants carried messages between the sheik and senior members of an Egyptian-based terrorist organization. Prosecutors say that helped spread Abdel-Rahman’s call to kill those who did not subscribe to his extremist interpretation of Islamic law.
In a letter to the sentencing judge, Stewart proclaimed: “I am not a traitor.”
Facing 30 years, yet receives less than 30 months..how is this a victory?
Must have been a Femo-crat appointed judge, that tried the case.
Nothing like seeing one of those lawyers going to prison now for J.TONY CERA
Sounds like a victory for the Imperium to us – 28 months for helping a man assert his constitutional rights !
Typical liberal you are, Simon. You won’t defend America, but you’ll defend terrorists’ rights to blow up America!
Hey SIMON your not the mad scientists from those old UDERDOG cartoons are you? you sure sound like your mad and should,nt you be in jail?:razz:
Ya Simon his rights.
These Leftist Liberals are such a sorry lot. I firmly believe that there are a few, not many mind you but a few of the liberal left, who if they heard that their terrorist buddy’s had snuck a nuclear explosive device into the USA, would, if they thought that exploding it in an American city would bring down the Bush administration, tell no one, and allow it to happen. You have fake Reverend, whose best buddy in Chicago is the head of the terrorist loving Islamic exteremist. The 2 hate twins so hate America, Democracy, and Jews that they would be delighted to see such a tragic event occur. They align themselves with the terrorist. Sadly they are not alone in the Demon-crats party. They are joined of course by the Bush hating, news slanting media.
The Constitution gives rights to US citizens. The blind sheik is not a US citizen and therefore NOT entitled to the rights of US citizens. Additionally, he is a terrorist. His punishment included NOT being allowed to communicate with his terrorist followers. She violated that. She is guilty of treason. 28 months is a joke.
