Like I said great job. This obviously was one of Holder & Company's tough ones!

Thankfully now it frees up time to go after the real bad guys like the State of Arizona! :zz:

In a turn of events stunning and angering to those that decried prosecution in federal court (won't work, will endanger NY citizens, too expensive, will take forever, will allow him to lawyer up and get off scott free, Obama is ruining this country, etc):

This is what you wrote. Tell me how this is consistent with the news article that you posted? Being that the guy "confessed 100 times over" it would seem that "wont work", "too expensive", "will take forever", "will allow him to lawyer up and get off scott free" would not seem to be pertinent here. They were of course what was said about the potential trial of KSM in NY which is what was inferred by Randall and myself. I find it hard to believe that the pundits were complaining ths weekend about the length or expense of a trial in which the suspect has already confessed. Of course I dont have the ability or desire to monitor all the Sunday morning political shows so that i can prove random people on the DT politics section wrong.

:tro: Exactly my point. Glad you agree.

Nobody was complaining this weekend. They have been complaining in the previous months. Prior to the trial result.

Can you please post video and or quotes of the Cheneys etc speaking on Faisal Shahzad specifically. As I recall Dick C. said this was a different case than KSM as the defendent here was an American citizen entitled to rights in a Fed court.

:tro::tro: Yea fantastic job on this one.

(CBS News)

Confessed terrorist Faisal Shahzad was removed from the Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list sometime after Barack Obama came into office.

Sources tell CBS News that would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad appeared on a Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list – Traveler Enforcement Compliance System (TECS) – between 1999 and 2008 because he brought approximately $80,000 cash or cash instruments into the United States.

The New York Times reported that the person who bought Faisal’s apartment back in 2004 was interviewed by federal investigators.

George LaMonica, a 35-year-old computer consultant, said he bought his two-bedroom condominium in Norwalk, Conn., from Mr. Shahzad for $261,000 in May 2004. A few weeks after he moved in, Mr. LaMonica said, investigators from the national Joint Terrorism Task Force [JTTF] interviewed him, asking for details of the transaction and for information about Mr. Shahzad. It struck Mr. LaMonica as unusual, but he said detectives told him they were simply “checking everything out.”

ABC reported:

Shahzad also had a web of jihadist contacts that included big names tied to terror attacks in the U.S. and abroad, including the figure who has emerged as a central figure in many recent domestic terror attempts – radical American-born Muslim cleric Anwar Awlaki.

Besides Awlaki, sources say Shahzad was also linked to a key figure in the Pakistani Taliban, its Emir Beitullah Mehsud, who was killed in a drone missile strike in 2009. The Mehsuds had been family friends of Shahzad, who is the son of a former high-ranking Pakistani military officer.
