DIX 'PLOTTER': I'M OK GUY
By JEANE MACINTOSH

May 18, 2007 -- He's charged with helping to arm five Muslim men plotting a bloodthirsty guerilla attack on a New Jersey military base, but Agron Abdullahu said yesterday, "I'm not really a bad guy."

Abdullahu, 24, made the statement in front of U.S. Magistrate Joel Schneider during a bail hearing featuring a parade of family members speaking on the alleged terrorists' behalf.

"I'm not really a bad guy," Abdullahu told the magistrate. "If I could leave, I would definitely go back to my old life . . . I would never do anything to harm this country."

**SNIP**

He was denied the $150,000 bail his lawyer requested and faces up to 10 years in prison.

Fort Dix suspect seeks house arrest
Wire reports
Friday, May 18, 2007

CAMDEN, N.J. — A man charged with helping five others plot a terrorist attack on Fort Dix said Thursday he is "not really a bad guy" and urged a federal magistrate to let him leave custody for house arrest.

Agron Abdullahu, 24, made the request to U.S. Magistrate Joel Schneider during a bail hearing. He and his lawyers are trying to persuade Schneider that Abdullahu would not flee and would not pose a serious risk to the community's safety if he is released.

Maybe we could surrender right to this guy, and save even more money than if we wait for the next surrender bill....

Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacey were “Ok” guys too, if you’d asked them before they took the dirt most deserved dirt naps.

Indubitably... and any members of their hardworking, play-by-the-rules family!

Let Dingy (did you know he’s a Mormon?) Reid surrender to him. I’m not interested in surrendering just yet.

After they're arrested, smokers who decide to light up in New Jersey, and risk the lives of everyone within several counties, will need more loot than that to bail themselves out - no?
