Here's hoping. If he stays here, he will resume his role as a media darling of the anti-American Left. From the [1] Ely Times, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

TAMPA, Fla. - Federal authorities hit with a stunning defeat in a terrorism case against a former Florida college professor are considering deporting him instead of retrying him.

Al-Arian, a Palestinian born in Kuwait, was accused of being a key figure in a Palestinian terrorist group that has carried out suicide bombings against Israel.

Officials said there is no timetable for a decision.

If the government decides to abandon the remaining charges, it is doubtful Al-Arian will be permitted to return to his previous life in Tampa. He had been a computer engineering professor at the University of South Florida but was fired after his indictment.
