“AL-QAIDA AGENT SENTENCED TO 100-MONTHS IN PRISON”

SNIPPET: “A former West Peoria resident and admitted al-Qaida agent, Ali al-Marri, was sentenced to more than eight years in prison for conspiring to help a foreign terrorist organization.

Al-Marri had faced a maximum sentence of 15 years, but U.S. District Judge Michael Mihm imposed a shorter sentence of eight years and four months Thursday.

Before sentencing Ali al–Marri, Judge Michael Mihm spoke of the treatment al–Marri received for 71–months in a military brig. He was isolated, slept on a metal bed without mattress or pillow and was the subject of what his lawyers claimed were harsh interrogations.

For that reason Judge Mihm sentenced al–Marri to almost half the 15–years federal prosecutors had asked for.”

Eight years for planning to launch a terror attack against our people!

Looks like a preview of what's to come in New York with the exception of potential indictments of Bush era officials and military leaders for war crimes.

This administration is after Bush blood and this seems a likely route for them.

Do you know the name of the Prison? Looking but just found Marion County is that what it is called?

A State Department official and another person close to the matter say Mohammed Al-Madadi was going to meet Ali Al-Marri for an official visit.

Consular officials frequently visit foreigners held in the United States to make sure they are being treated well.
