Quit inciting me to bake US troops into pies. I didn't want to do it, but you made such a convincing argument that I just had to. it's all your fault: You FORCED me to bake Corp Anderson and Lieutenant Sanders into pies. (Well, I actually didn't bake them in pies but baked some GI Joe action figures into pies, but that's the same thing after all: It's the thought that counts.) -TD

I'd just like to say that the American troops who carried out Bush's illegal war in Iraq, which killled 100,000 Iraqi civilians, are war criminals, and I'd like to encourage all of AmeriKKKa's victims to capture them and bake them in pies, after forcing them to bark like dogs and poop themselves.
Now, is that worth life in prison? Only in a police state. In a real democracy whose citizens are free, it's protected political speech. Too bad AmeriKKKa isn't one of those.
Fuck Bush.
This, by the way, in case you can't read through the inflammatory bullshit in the wireservice story, was the case of some individuals who were deemed to have engaged in a conspiracy to wage war against the US, because in addition to being Islamic, and denouncing Bush's war, they played paintball.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- A prominent U.S.-based Islamic scholar who exhorted his followers after the Sept. 11 attacks to join the Taliban and fight U.S. troops was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison.
Ali al-Timimi of Fairfax was convicted in April of soliciting others to levy war against the United States, inducing others to aid the Taliban, and inducing others to use firearms in violation of federal law.
The cleric addressed the court for 10 minutes before his sentencing. "I will not admit guilt nor seek the court's mercy. I do this simply because I am innocent," al-Timimi said.

Prosecutors said the defendant, a native U.S. citizen who has an international following in some Muslim circles, wielded enormous influence among a group of young Muslim men in northern Virginia who played paintball games in 2000 and 2001. Authorities said they were a "Virginia jihad network" training for holy war around the globe.
