Back from the ice rink and catching up with the afternoon headlines…

You’ve already seen the guilty verdict in the Lynne Stewart case. Recruited by Ramsey Clark, Stewart was convicted of helping terrorists by smuggling messages of violence from one of her imprisoned clients — a radical Egyptian sheik — to his terrorist disciples on the outside.

Power Line’s Big Trunk extends congrats to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and Hindrocket notes:

We have often commented on how many leftists have seamlessly taken up the cause of Islamic fascism–a movement that superficially seems to have little in common with Marxism or other forms of Western socialism. The alliance between the Western left and Islamism suggests that Western radicalism was always mostly about hating the West in general, and especially, America.

The Stewart conviction underscores the problems I discussed here with the Ally McBeal-ization of the War on Terror.
