Civil Rights Lawyer Sentenced to 28 Months (Lynne Stewart)

NEW YORK -- Civil rights lawyer Lynne Stewart was sentenced to 28 months in prison in federal court in Manhattan Monday. She was convicted of providing support to terrorists by helping a jailed Egyptian sheik communicate with his followers on the outside.
Before sentencing, her lawyer told the judge that any prison sentence for Stewart would be a death sentence because of her serious health problems.
Stewart pleaded with the judge to allow her to live out the rest of her life "productively, lovingly, righteously.''
Assistant US Attorney Andrew Dember rejected defense suggestions that Stewart's conduct was judged differently after
9-11.
"This case had nothing to do with September 11,'' Dember told the judge. "What she was doing was smuggling terrorism messages and smuggling out Abdel-Rahman's responses.''
When Stewart arrived at the courthouse this morning, about 150 supporters chanted "Free Lynne, Free Lynne.''
Federal prosecutors say she had released a statement by Omar Abdel-Rahman, a blind sheik sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted in plots to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt's president.

Her grandparents are the Rosenbergs who were executed for giving Stalin the bomb, right? I'm not kidding.

There is no justice. And that's all I can say without getting my post removed.

This is precisely why terrorism cannot be treated as a mere criminal matter. It's war- and until it is treated as a war there will be no victory.

If there was any justice at all she would have been stood up against a wall and shot like in the old days.
You know we have gotten soft and become easy targets as a nation when this seditionsist gets off with a slap on the wrist.

I can see she has already been hit over the head with an ugly stick so that option is out.

This woman and her associate Sattar aided in the assassination of the Afghan Northern Alliance leader Masood, the "Lion of Panjir."

A photograph of a useful idiot.
Soft, lazy, and too clever to know she is stupid.

Before sentencing, her lawyer told the judge that any prison sentence for Stewart would be a death sentence because of her serious health problems. OK, I'm good with that. Her health would probably be better if she weren't eaten up with the knowledge that she is a filthy little traitorous turncoat who knowingly aided a man responsible for the deaths of her fellow countrymen and women. Vermin like this should be given the same choice that the 911 victims were given.
