He didn't correct you, but you were slightly wrong: the case wasn't actually about "terrorism," it was about racism. Terrorism was being used as a ruse to cover (and justify) hatred and fear of Islam, just like now all this fraud crap is being used as a ruse to cover what a botch job the feds did in this case (starting with picking a decent Muslim to target for persecution). Our publication, The NewStandard, did the only real journalism I have seen on this case -- public interest journalism with the goal of holding the government accountable for abuses committed against its citizens, conducted by investigative reporter, Madeleine Baran. I don't think you have linked to any of our content in your "Dhafir By Others" section except one that was plagiarized by another website (MetroLand.net). These should help clear up the terrorism/racism questions readers may have: <a href="http://newstandardnews.net/content/?action=show_item&itemid=165" rel="nofollow">The Terrorism Case that Wasn't</a> <a href="http://newstandardnews.net/content/?action=show_item&itemid=846" rel="nofollow">As 'Help the Needy' Trial Nears, Case Further Politicizes'</a> John O’Brien has been intent on whitewashing the prejudice of this case and covering up for the prosecution’s extraordinary display of racism.
