Times Square bomber pleads guilty
« on: June 21, 2010, 10:55:19 PM »


Faisal Shahzad, 30, admitted travelling to Pakistan to receive bomb-making training from the Pakistani Taliban, called Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, and receiving $12,000 (8,128.51 pounds) from the group to carry out the failed plot on May 1.

Shahzad, who has a wife and two children living in Pakistan, pleaded guilty to 10 charges, including attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempted terrorism transcending national borders. He faces mandatory life in prison.

"I'm going to plead guilty 100 times over," Shahzad told the court. Until the United States stops drone aircraft attacks and the occupation of "Muslim lands," Shahzad said "we will be attacking the United States and I plead guilty to that."

"One has to understand where I'm coming from," Shahzad said in a long speech frequently interrupted by U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum seeking clarification. "I consider myself a Mujahid, a Muslim-soldier."

Shitheel admits to being a soldier. A soldier who committed an attack while wearing civilian clothes.

I say we put a bullet in his head and be done with it.

The article does say that he's pleaded guilty to a mandatory life sentence, didn't mention at all how long that life should be....

Just for fun, let's throw him off the Empire State building and see how high he bounces.

Excuse the cynicism...

Did this seem just a little too easy?

Well, he certainly seems humbled by the majesty of our justice system, and the might and efficiency of our wonderful Department of Justice, don't he now?

Faisal Shahzad  should get life in prison when he is sentenced Oct. 5, prosecutors said in a filing, arguing that he "had every intention of delivering a powerful and terrorizing strike to the heart of New York City."

I hope they make his remaining years miserable.  Bastard.

I'm waiting for Holder to drop the case like he did with the Black Panthers in Philly.
