Former Intel Engineer Pleads Guilty To Taliban Aid
theodp writes "Following up on an earlier Slashdot story, software engineer Maher "Mike" Hawash pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiring to provide services to the Taliban, agreeing to testify against other suspects in exchange for the dropping of other terrorism charges. He will serve at least seven years in federal prison under the deal. In March, federal agents seized Hawash from a parking lot outside Intel Corp., where he worked, and held him as a material witness until charges were filed five weeks later."
No harm in blowing up un-Islamic artifacts, no harm in destroying their own country, no harm in making their women not study/go out in public/wear certain clothes.....I could go on and on.
I think you should read this: link
The real fact is, we will never know if he is really guilty. Face it, with the attitude of the government today, if you were presented with the option of being held, without trial, indefiinitly, or to rat on other "suspects" which you may or may not even know any real facts about, which would you choose?
Everyone assumes that he's a terrorist. Wrong! I assumed that the typical
My fellow citizens, you no longer live in a Democracy, and it's just a matter of time before they come for you, your family, or your friends.

You are a moron.
Now when will white males with bald heads be arrested for looking like terrorists?
When white males with bald heads start flying passenger planes into skyscrapers.
A reasonable country would have extradited a known terrorist ringleader, and wouldn't have been given him and his Really Evil organization support to begin with.
A reasonable country would have extradited him, if and when we provided them with some proof.
Or do you think they were afraid the U.S. wouldn't give bin Laden a fair trial? Yeah, that sounds about right.
How many fair trials have been given to the men detained in Cuba?
you don't have to prove the guy did it before the trial actually begins. What's the point of a trial, then?
Let's for a moment, pretend that we're talking about a US Citizen in a regular criminal case(which you apparently are). You have to have SOME evidence, or you can't even get an indictment.

No shelter was provided, nor was land provided, nor did they build any training camps (though our government did.)
And they offered to turn over bin Laden & Co. after the attacks, just not on the ridiculous terms set by the U.S. They wanted them to stand trial in some third country, that was hopefully impartial.
And by the way, there is absolutely no evidence that bin Laden committed the 9/11 attacks in the first place. None whatsoever. FBI Director Mueller has admitted as much.
There is however very convincing evidence that Israel at least knew about the attacks in advance.
Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

I think this just shows the Visa screening has ALOT

to be desired, and who we have come into our country
is as important as any other aspect of "national securty"
Some of the 9-11 suicide pilots were issued US Visas
after they had already died in 9-11
That is the "professionalism" at hand in the seething
bureaucracy that is our current government
Bush baby was outraged, and as he should be , but it only
points to the lame state of our borders and our Visa program
It has been bought out by the big corporate cash cows
for cheap labor
If you think the H1-b visa thing was a big deal , keep in
mind that under the L1 visa there is no limit to the
number of ppl they can bring into the country to displace
US workers . Ppl at Bank of America were forced to train
their own replacements because their replacements did not
know how to do the job , if you refused , you did not get
your severance check
One gentleman named kevin flannagan commited suicide
after the Quality of his severance was determined
by the quality of his exit training of his replacement
http://www.nomoreh1b.com/BankOfAmericaSuicides.
To all you coders out there, lets wish Kevin a fine send
off and hope that we do not find ourselves wholesale
replaced because they can import the entire third world
population to do every job in this country, just because
ppl in some countries will work for 50 cents an hour
Bye kevin , sorry your life sucked !!!
Long live the Corpracracy !!!!
In some cities they even pay for their housing because they
pay them so little they could not possible afford it
If they are needed that bad over here, make them citizens
Do you feel the love ???
Do you feel it ????
This is NOT the way to stablize the economy
Cost structures will collapse , bankruptcies, and a
never ending spiral resembling the same crap we went
thru during the S&L scandal a little less than 20 years ago
The cost of that menagerie is passed on to the tax payers,
the lucky ones that get to keep their jobs, even the
suits making the stupid choices

Besides spelling doesn't indicate intelligence. It just indicates you know how to spell.
Maybe we should spend more money on the education system then. Ohh wait we did it still hasn't helped.
Let me guess you consider yourself intelligent. A man once said "If you arnt a liberal when you are 20 you dont have a heart. If you arent a conservative when your 40
And yes I am educated I have a Masters in Computer Information Systems.
Not everyone is capable of speeling correctly!! haven't you noticed?
I think the most compelling evidence is the Odigo story originally reported in the Washington Post. They've since taken it down, but Haaretz still carries it.
You can of course find the text of the article in the Washington Post through Google.
That an Israeli company received advance warning of the attacks is interesting, given that The New York Times reports that only one Israeli died in the WTC. This suggests that the Odigo workers may not have been the only ones warned. It's worth noting too that the one Israeli who died was only there visiting, that is, they may not have known he was even going to be there.
Then there's the Israeli spy ring that was uncovered shortly after 9/11... the biggest spy ring ever uncovered in fact. Fox News had this story, of course, they too later took the story down, but it's archived here. The presence of the spys was largely confirmed by the Jewish publication, even if they sought a more benign explanation, but both accounts link these spies with the alleged 9/11 terrorists.
Finally, we have the Israelis who were dancing as the towers fell, and who appear to have been Mossad agents.
Is that enough? There's more you know. All of it sourced by mainstream/corporate media organizations, all of it far more damning than the largely imaginary case being made against al Qaeda and the 19 terrorists (seven of whom have been found to still be alive, BTW.

Rush Limbaugh is a liar and a demogogue, and no information from his lips is admissable.
Rush, curiously, has no transcripts available for his daily show. Hard to fact check someone who lies at 60/minute, if there's no record of what he says.
PLEAD GUILTY!!!
Are you kidding Ian? United States shouldnt prosecute citizens for taking up arms against our own troops. Please, go back to your civilized EU, one less uterly insane liberal wont be noticed.
It was like that when I got here.
