Freeper jubilance: "Toledo-Area Men Arrested for Terrorist Activity"

NSA link of the day: Toledo-Area Men Arrested for Terrorist Activity

Here is your NSA link of the day: Toledo-Area Men Arrested for Terrorist Activity

According to the indictment from the US Attorney's office, the suspects are Mohammad Zaki Amawi, Marwan Othman El-Hindi, and Wassim Mazloum. The indictment says all three were living in the Toledo area. Amawi is a citizen of the US and also a citizen of Jordan. El-Hindi is a naturalized American citizen who was born in Jordan. Mazloum is a legal permanent resident of the US, who came here from Lebanon. ... In count 1 of the indictment, prosecutors say the three met together many times, going back as far as November 2004. The three reportedly conspired to recruit and train others for a violent jihad against United States forces and US allies in Iraq. They also reportedly put together the funding needed for the operation, and collected the equipment needed, and even travelled together to a local indoor shooting range for target practice. ...
Prosecutors also say the three communicated by computer with an individual in the Middle East, passing information about potential attacks and terrorist training materials back and forth, as well as communication about potential weapons and targets.

...
In count 2, the grand jury found that the three had similar plans to kill US citizens abroad in addition to service members.


But, but, but... The NSA leak did not cause any damage to national security because terrorists know they could be monitored, so they would never be so stupid... All those lefties making that claim... Anyone? Hello? Is this thing on?

Gonzales won't confirm the NSA was involved. Ya' think?




:crazy:

1. Clearly FISA was workable for these suspects. (That is the soundbite)

2. One - they don't specify how they communicated -
hell the could have talked face to face
two - as was pointed out the FISA law would have covered this easily
and three - *'s legal people are incompetent nitwit clowns - it's entirely possible that the indictment will get tossed on the very first legal challenge it faces. Especially since one get the sense this arrest might have been rushed to show the illegal wiretaps were needed.
