Courtroom Jihad: he is tying up time, personnel, and resources by continuing to appeal this sentence. He got fifteen years the first time, now he has gotten fifteen years again, and probably he will get fifteen years the next time also. But the kuffar system will be that much more overburdened. "Man gets same prison term for role in 'jihad network,'" from the Associated Press (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):
...Ali Asad Chandia is one of a dozen men convicted in a network the government said used paintball games to train for holy war around the globe.A federal appeals court earlier this year ordered a new sentencing hearing for Chandia, saying the judge needed to explain why he applied a so-called terrorism enhancement that more than doubled Chandia's prison time.
At a sentencing hearing Friday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Judge Claude Hilton explained that the enhancement was appropriate because Chandia was aware of the violent actions of the group he was helping.
Chandia's lawyer said he will again appeal Hilton's sentence.
Double or nothing?
Who is paying Chandia's lawyer?
They're fighting for the overthrow of the US government. Regardless of the level of their training or success, it's their motivation that matters.
So, they wanna play war? ... let them stand trial in our military system when they get caught.
Uniform Code of Military Justice: Upon conviction for a crime, you get one automatic appeal. If the conviction's upheld, which it usually is, you go to Leavenworth and commence immediately to make little rocks out of big rocks.
it's called death by a 1,000 cuts,,

It is good to see a Court upholding a decision in this way. Deportation would be cheaper, but whatever.
I was very pleased about this too:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/04/23/britain.terror.ap/index.html
And I was especially pleased by this statement:
"Now that the applicants have been convicted after a fair trial before an impartial tribunal, we are entitled to record, after a lengthy examination of the evidence, that their defenses to the charge of conspiracy to murder were ludicrous".
40 years in prison is a lot of public money, but it is also a very long time.
Notice something, everybody?
The headline uses the 'J word'. Inside quotation marks, yes, but it uses it, which means that it seeps into people's minds - "Man gets same prison term for role in 'jihad network'".
Within the article the term 'holy war' appears.
I followed the link and read the whole article. When you do, you see the journalist's name - 'Matthew Barakat'.
He and his editor should be commended for one small step toward clarity, and encouraged to speak even more plainly - such as by removing the quotation marks, and saying jihad and jihadi MORE frequently instead of terms like 'terrorism' and 'militant'.
Sooner or later the courts will stop this charade and he will serve 15 years, which is actually about 6 years (good behavior, etc...). So he should just shut up and do his time. He'll fit right in. There are plenty of dumb Joes in prison for him to convert to Jihad.
OOOPS - I spoke too hopefully, too soon - the headline was not what I thought, or else it was altered - it reads 'man gets same prison term for supporting terror group', NOT 'man gets same prison term for supporting jihad network'.
The term 'jihad network' appeared only as a citation of the prosecutors' words.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.
My main point still applies though - if we see any sort of weaselwording in a jihad-related news story, and comments are open, we should hop in and explain how the story could be made clearer by appropriate use of specific terms, such as 'jihad group' instead of 'terror group'.
