Watch for the Obama pardon posse to get to work. I mean Bill Ayers is a hero to Obama, so watch for a pardon move.

So that's what 'treason's' called these days, huh. LOL

Now they just have to figure out which sex she is and place her in the appropriate lock up.

The appropriate lock-up for this thing is known as a stye.

Hmmm lawyer Lynne Stewart smuggles terrorist messages from client. Sure glad KSM gets to pick his civilian attorney for federal trial. CAIR can help.
