D.C. Metro Bombing Updates
[Guest post by Aaron Worthing; if you have tips, please send them here.]
First the WaPo has new deteails about the suspect and how the investigation came to light. It’s worth a read. And give credit where credit is due, the WaPo also discusses the links between other incidents like the Ft. Hood shooting, not in the literal sense but in the way that these are part of a larger problem.
Meanwhile Red State finds out that the suspect is a neighbor, literally down the street from him. Interesting video follows.
And you can read the indictment here. But exit question… why aren’t we charging this jerk with treason?
Finally, My Pet Jawa also has a lot of information and analysis.

According to Article 3 Section 3 of the Constitution, you have to have 2 witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court to convict someone of treason.

daleyrocks (940075) — 10/28/2010 @ 10:55 pmDanH, are you suggesting a sting operation involving more than one federal agent doesn’t qualify as more than one witness? Or are you suggesting you didn’t quite understand the question?

Gerald A (5b55e9) — 10/29/2010 @ 2:50 amInteresting:
“But Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Loudoun County never suggested any attacks inside the United States, and the plot to attack Metro was hatched by government operatives posing as terrorists, according to court records unsealed Thursday. ”
I guess DC is safe then.
imdw (150cd7) — 10/29/2010 @ 5:35 amHe’s not charged with treason because, get real, who really expects anybody to be loyal to any nation these days? What a concept.
Gesundheit (cfa313) — 10/29/2010 @ 6:49 amThe literal legal definition of ‘treason’ is not what we need to be talking about, but the INTENT of that definition.
