That’s what Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, late of Qatar and landed upon these shores on 10 September 2001 as a sleeper agent for further al Qaeda attacks on US soil got for his crimes, along with time served:
According to the plea agreement, Mr. Marri said he had been ordered by Mr. (Khalid Sheik) Mohammed “to enter the United States no later than Sept. 10, 2001” and await instructions. Mr. Marri, a native of Qatar, did so, arriving with his wife and five children on Sept. 10 and enrolling at Bradley University in Peoria, where he had studied during an earlier stay. In that time, he “researched online information related to various cyanide compounds” and communicated in code with other Qaeda operatives…
In eight minutes of tearful testimony on Thursday, Mr. Marri told the judge he was sorry that he had helped Al Qaeda, and no longer wished harm to the American people. He said he had been punished in many ways while in prison, and mentioned missing the first words of his youngest child.
Neither Christine Hanson, age 2, David Brandhorst (3), Juliana McCourt (4), Bernard Brown (11), Asia Cottom (11), Rodney Dickens (11), Dana Falkenberg (3), or Zoe Falkenberg (8) could be reached for comment.
Gen pop, I’m thinking.
And after that?
“Supervised release” off the port inboard pylon? Works for me.
The only solace I can take in this is that while this injustice occurs due to our legal system, we still are able to place our faith in the justice we hand out to those like him from our Predator Drones, Apache Helicopters and Marine Sniper teams.
They don’t hear’em or see’em but they are there, ready to dispense justice. Fear the pink mist and the sound of the incoming fire that you will never hear delivered by the projectile that obliterates your jihad where you stand.
We joke, but the fact that the SOB is even allowed to live pisses me off. Once again we have Obama to thank for all of this. Bastard.
Un-fripping believable.
So he admits he colluded to kill Americans. And because he repents now, he gets 3 months in jail.
Jesus – we executed a woman who repented in jail, became a born-again Christian and counseled her fellow inmates. Not that I don’t think she should have been executed – she was a vile murderer (can’t remember her name, Kate something maybe?). Her jailhouse reformation wasn’t enough to save her.
If we can do that to one of our own citizens – then how in hell do we NOT do it to scum like this guy? At the very least keep him in jail until he dies.
He’s sorry?! He missed the first words of his child? Please…my heart isn’t bleeding for him or anyone like him.
My preference would be a long drop with a short stop.
Amen, Michelle
Oops! I mean Kris.
Just for clarity: 100 months, not 100 days. You seem to have misread that.
Prowler: you’re right I did misread it. 100 anything – unless it’s years – it just too short.
Christine Hanson. When there were so many names they became numbers, I decided to pick just one, learn about their life, and remember them. I picked Christine Lee Hanson. The youngest person to die at the hands of radical Islam on September 11th, 2001. She was 2. She was traveling with her parents.
She would be 11 now, starting to think about high school and her future.
I remember. I will not forget. I cannot forgive.
Semper Fidelis.
There are going to be at least seventy two of them – but he gets to be the virgin!
I just wish these homicide bombers somehow could at the last second come to realize that there is no milk, honey and virgins, just oblivion or better yet hell.
What the hell kind of religion portrays heaven in sexual terms anyway. Sick bastards. And what do the poor duped female bombers get. Virgin guys or the other?
Lex,
Great reminder sir! Thanks. However, I now need to go choke the livin’ shi’ite outa something…the links got to me. The stories they tell…thanks..
DS
You can’t blame Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri,but you sure as shi’ite can blame the friggin lawyers. IF, nope, make that WHEN al-Marri returns to the Al Qaeda fold and commits one act against any American I suggest the lawyers that represented him pay the price. Make them pay as gosh, he is so full of genuine repentance. My g-lock or Brown Hi P says “repent on this”. Tears my a$$. Here’s hoping he meets a friendly cell mate.
Gotta be careful with spelling things out and making violent suggestions as the NSA collects all this and any inclusion of certain things is sucked up for later “review”.
Shocking the sentence didn’t end with expulsion. I’m with Kris, though on the drop and the stop. Particularly the stop part.
Or maybe better, their hell will be realizing they killed themselves for a few “white raisins.” Some scholars believe that is the correct tranlation form the Koran, not “virgins.” Gee Abdul, why didn’t you just buy a box of raisin bran instead of turning yourself into a pink cloud?

I recommend supervised release with a halfway house between the Supreme Court building and the Capitol.
I’d buy Kerguelen Island as a good place for said release. Preferably they stay there too. The Frogs might not like it, but if we have a CV task force put them ashore, and cordially insist they stay, the Frogs won’t chirp too loudly.
