A U.S. Air Force psychologist described an al-Qaida sleeper agent as a sometimes kind, respectful man who nonetheless would attack the United States if given a chance.

The psychologist testified during the first day of a sentencing hearing for 44-year-old former Bradley University graduate student Ali al-Marri, who has admitted training in al-Qaida camps and having contact with those involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The second and what is scheduled to be the final day of al-Marri's sentencing is Thursday in U.S. District Court in Peoria. The Qatar native faces up to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty in May to one count of conspiring to provide material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization.

It was a tongue-in-cheek prediction rather than a for-sure fact, but the APA is an ultra liberal professional organization which in fact was very critical of some of its member psychologists who had helped with the interrogation of the GITMO terrorists - they’ll very likely take the politically correct don’t-prejudge-the-terrorists position rather than the patriotic do-whatever-it-takes-to-keep-America-safe approach any time (I’m a former member who was sick of their leftwing biases ever since they gave Teddy Kennedy a special award for his fine humanitarian activities years ago - but shortly after Chappaquiddick).......
