Goose Creek Two suspect pleads guilty

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 13, 2008 06:14 PM

What will CAIR say now? Ahmed Mohamed pleads guilty to providing material support to terrorists. Just an innocent kid on a joy ride with fireworks? Not:

Former University of South Florida student Ahmed Mohamed has agreed to plead guilty to providing material support to terrorists, according to a signed 12-page plea agreement entered onto the docket in U.S. District Court.

Mohamed, an Egyptian citizen, was arrested, along with another student, Youssef Megahed, in North Carolina in August after deputies said they found explosive materials in their trunk.

Authorities charged Mohamed with trying to help terrorists in connection with a video they said he made and posted to the Web site YouTube. On the video, authorities said, he showed how to use a remote-controlled toy to detonate a bomb.

Under the terms of the plea deal, prosecutors have agreed to dismiss other charges, including counts in an indictment alleging he illegally transported explosives. The maximum penalty for the charge to which Mohamed will plead guilty is 15 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.

TBO.com has the PDF of the plea agreement. Excerpt:

    Thanks, Michelle.

    CAIR probably still thinks it was just fireworks by a couple of college kids.

    Is the University of South Florida home of American terrorists or just victims of their own left wing complicity. Would it be much of a loss to the academic community to shut this cesspool.

    Naw, you see really they were just trying to save those poor fireworks factory workers from any injuries on the job by testing the new models themselves.

    Can his lawyers appeal his plea bargain? Or do you think they will just spend the time looking for more new recruits?

    Can you say LEAVENWORTH boys and girls?

    Or would that be cruel and unusual?

    When do we get to prosecute CAIR for supporting terrorist organizations, hmm?

    Someone named Ahmed Mohamed with explosives in his trunk near the U.S. Navy brig in S.C. that held Padilla has now pled guilty to what obvious terror related charge. And a Council of American-Islamic Relation’s spokesman had immediately railed against this saying, “Had this been two red-necks…” Well then, Ahmed Mohamed must be a Muslim and, it follows, a jihadist. But, as in America the people are the government, I can’t call him a jihadist.

    UNICEF promotes abortion, so whether they have terrorist ties or not, they get no money from me. As a matter of fact, any organization with ties to the UN is suspect, and will never get a cent from me.

    The fact that the government even permits this indicates their complete indifference to national security and the welfare of the American people.

    When I see stories like this, how we let students like this into the country without any knowledge of who they actually are, it make me want to scream. As a graduate student, I used to work in the Graduate School admissions office and saw how my school bent over backwards to do whatever they could to attract international students. Now, mind you, this was a state school so I didn’t know how much the prospective students would actualy be paying for their education.

    I think this country needs to reexamine who we let into this country to attend our educational institutions. I know that the Middle East, even Europe, is bent out of shape at how the USA is making it harder for their precious students to enter our country. Let this example be the reason why. :roll:

    Two problems with that; #1)San Francisco liberalism (no military allowed), and 2) Alcatraz is an island (you know, like Cuba). Liberals would never accept that kind of proposal…unless Saudi Arabia paid for it, and the prisoners just happened to be oppressed GAY men. In which case they might be offered a place in the front of the line for US citizenship!
