When U.S. authorities got their hands on terrorist Mohammed Mansour Jabarah in May 2002, he agreed to inform on some of the most influential al-Qaeda leaders. So instead of being sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, or a high-security CIA detention facility, Jabarah was housed with relatively lax security at Fort Dix, N.J., where he was allowed to watch television and movies, speak to his family in Canada by telephone, go for walks and even make his own meals, all under 24-hour FBI watch.
That arrangement soon proved to be a major problem for the bureau.
In court papers filed in relation to the terrorism case against Jabarah -- who was sentenced to life in prison yesterday in a New York federal courtroom -- prosecutors allege that he duped federal authorities into believing he was no longer a threat, and began squirreling away weapons and hatching a plot to kill his captors.
Federal authorities wrote that Jabarah collected steak knives, a long piece of nylon rope and instructions on how to make explosives. Jabarah also allegedly wrote a litany of angry Arabic passages in a notebook he kept in his room, vowing to die as he avenged his slain al-Qaeda comrades.
"These writings make clear that Jabarah had secretly disavowed cooperation and was affirmatively planning further jihad operations, including in all likelihood the murder of government officials in some sort of suicide operation," U.S. Attorney Michael J. Garcia wrote in a court document dated May 7, 2007, and unsealed this week. The discovery of Jabarah's pledge of martyrdom prompted federal authorities to move him into a high-security area at New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center in November 2002.

Yeah Right.
Amazing, the number of Libtards we have in positions of irresponsibility these days.
Hurry! Let’s close Guantanamo, Huckadork!!
And I guess we had to pretend to respect this kind of “religion.”
If it goes bad in Nov. just wait and see what the next four years brings!
What? A lying terrorist? Oh no, say it isn’t so!!
....gee ya think that maybe he was clearing away his competition in the organization. Or maybe just a mole.
Well from what others have said, I'm not to worried, cause there are a lot of moderate muzzies who live in this country that are law abiding and will follow US rather than Sharia law.
Just wait ‘till “being nice to terrorists” again becomes official US policy with an apostate Muslim in the White House.
Then all Hell breaks loose.
Suicide by vote; America, we hardly knew ye.
I say close Guantanamo. The prisoners can swim to freedom. The US will provide a chum boat so they can follow the trail to freedom.
Close Gitmo and euthanize the terrorists detained there.
There you go, handwriting on a wall. Dumbasses!
