Pa. man accused in terror sting

From the Philadelphia Daily News:

The FBI believes that the unemployed Wilkes-Barre man tried to conspire with al-Qaeda to wreck the American economy. Agents say Reynolds plotted to blow up the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, a Pennsylvania pipeline, and a New Jersey refinery.

The sensational allegations, disclosed in a federal transcript obtained by The Inquirer on Friday, reveal a convoluted plot that includes cyberspace intrigue, an elaborate FBI sting, and a clandestine money-drop on a deserted Idaho road.

The case also involves a municipal judge from Montana who has devoted the last four years to snaring would-be terrorists online.
Reynolds, 47, has not been publicly charged with terrorism. But a federal prosecutor leveled that accusation during a December court hearing, saying that Reynolds attempted to "provide material aid to al-Qaeda" and that the case "involves a federal offense of terrorism."

"He was doing it as a plan to disrupt governmental function, to change the government's actions in foreign countries, and to impact on the national debate about the war," Assistant U.S. Attorney John C. Gurganus Jr. said at the hearing in Wilkes-Barre.

Reynolds has been held without bail since Dec. 5 on unrelated weapons charges. A U.S. citizen, he is being detained in the Lackawanna County jail...

Let's see what group is first to jump in to defend him. It might even be a good trial balloon for Democrats to make some claims off of.

it wont be too difficult to imagine the first group who will claim this US citizen is held illegal..you know of group of wacky lawyers.. you get three guess es and the first two dont count!

I still feel that terrorist should be tried in a military court. Mandatory sentence should be death and it should be carried out within 30 days. Let them join Mohammed in hell. It does not matter whether or not the idiot is an U.S. citizen or not.

Terrorism falls under the military scope thus those who plan, finance or commit terrorism should be tried in the military court, if found guilty executed.

Heck, all the guy had to do was get a job with the right company and he would have been considered a valuable assest. Oh, oh, oh, that's right -- he's "local talent" can't have that.

"UAE Co. Poised to Oversee Six U.S. Ports

— A company in the United Arab Emirates is poised to take over
significant operations at six American ports as part of a corporate
sale, leaving a country with ties to the Sept. 11 hijackers with
influence over a maritime industry considered vulnerable to terrorism.

The Bush administration considers the UAE an important ally in the
fight
against terrorism since the suicide hijackings and is not objecting to
Dubai Ports World's purchase of London-based Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Co.

The $6.8 billion sale is expected to be approved Monday. "

Where's all the dummy apologists who keep claiming American muslims are the most peaceful people on the planet with no terorrist aims?

This goes hand in hand with Hamid Ali's former "condemnations" of the British bombings in public but then gets caught by a reporter recently claiming the murders were great.

The apologists cannot and refuse to understand taqiyyah. They keep applying secular-humanist expectations to a fundamentalist "religion" that is and always has been a political movement.

lest the significance about the sale be lost ....

"...its sale would affect commercial U.S. port operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia.

DP World said it won approval from a secretive U.S. government panel that considers security risks of foreign companies buying or investing in American industry."

By all means shoot the PA guy -- but let's make sure that HAMAS is in control of American ports.

Ah, yes -- this war is as good as over and the troops will be home by Christmas.

ChinCheck,

It is interesting to note that the subtitle of the book from your link above is,

"The Islamic Doctrine of Permanent War".

What better reason to fight these animals.

My dearest Queen Isabella - Know that I, your most humble subject, do always observe with glee your arrival in court festooned with brilliant punditry, knighting the capable and vanquishing the pukes.

Excellent online resource, ChinCheck.

Thank you!

I see the apologists have all decided it is better to run and hide. Typical. Ignore a problem until people start to forget the facts, then come back later to continue attempting to rewrite fact and history.

OT, but- Thought about the weekend's Trolls:

They always seem to show up on a Friday night. Mayhaps they are receiving Marching orders after evning prayers at the mosque?

In the meantime our ports are being taken over by Arab firms:

ARAB BIZ MAY RUN NYC PORT

By HASANI GITTENS

February 12, 2006 -- The city's ports, considered a major target of terrorists, are about to be taken over by a firm based in the United Arab Emirates, a country with financial links to the Sept. 11 hijackers.
Dubai Ports World is set to complete a $6.8 billion deal to purchase Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., a London company that already runs commercial port operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans and Miami.

If shareholders approve the deal tomorrow, it will give control of various dock operations at some of the country's busiest points of entry to...

I hope his type key name was isKANdaria.

Round 'em up and pen 'em.

Or, in the case of traitors like this scum, once the conviction is in, shoot 'em ...and save my tax dollars from feeding simmering jailhouse jihad.

Isabella,

I believe there is ample to reason to fight, but the opposition is ever so timid for all the right reasons. To openly declare such a thing is to invite a fierce, "righteous" anger from Muslims convinced of the truth of their belief. Remember the punishment for those who oppose Allah's messenger is a horrific death and an equally horrific, ever-lasting torture in Hell. Now if that is not discouraging to an opposing force I do not know what is. It is also inspiring to the indoctrinated who feel they will never be defeated

Do you think that the Parriot Act had anything to do with this homegrown Islamofeces being arrested?
To quote the fictional town of Rock Ridge;
You bet your ASS!!!

You democrats need to stop blocking the Patriot Act. You no longer have a political leg to stand on at this point. The President and the Repulicans may juggle the political football, but you guys are fumbling it every time. Either get on board for the "big win," or continue to lose elections. You dems are very weak on national defense and the military. The last democratic president that was strong on national security and the military was President John Fitzgerald Kennedy!!! Get a clue, dems!!! You're not seen as being strong on national defense.
The arrest of the homegrown Islamofeces Reynolds is proof that the President is more on target than you democrats on the issue of "Homeland Security." "We the People" are just waiting for the ultra-liberal, ultra-left, anti America ACLU to file a lawsuit against the Bush government to help further undermind the the Bush Presidency. Thus adding to the proof that you dems just don't get it. President Bush may be weak as far as the "open border" issue is concerned. But he's busting terrorists and averting terrorist attack while in the planning stage in our country, in our cities. Proactive instead of being reactive. Striking the enemy before they hit us.
