Dr. Rusty Shackleford is all over it:
An American was among 15 foreign nationals arrested last week in Egypt believed to be part of a larger terror network. The cell is supected of plotting terror attacks on Middle East targets, although there is some contraversy over whether they were planning attacks or just encouraging them.
The foreign nationals were in Egypt in order to study the religion of peace, Islam. The American has not yet been identified.
The group also encouraged Muslims to go to Iraq for jihad against the United States. An American encouraging violence against American troops? Treason.
Looks like we have another Johnny Walker Lindh, who went to Pakistan to study Islam before joining the Taliban, or Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, who left his home in Virginia to study Islam in Saudi Arabia before joining a group of al Qaeda sympathizers and plotting to assassinate President George Bush.
Planning or encouraging – they’re still the enemy.
Gateway Pundit: This was much more than a study group…
Pirate’s Cove: Notice one of the places they were looking to attack. Iraq. Something that rarely makes the news is that quite a few of those involved in the “civil war” aren’t even Iraqi’s.
Macker’s World: Treason. Against. The. United. States. In. Wartime. Is. Punishable. By. DEATH!
The Dread Pundit Bluto: The article mentions that those arrested were posing as “religious students.” They probably weren’t studying Greek Orthodox theology.
Clarity & Resolve: America, Egypt, wherever… anywhere on Earth is ripe for jihad.
Internet Haganah: Renditions in progress.
