Woods, 24, of Lebanon Junction, Ky.; Sergeant First Class Bryan E. Hall, 32, of Elk Grove, Calif.; Sergeant Edward W. Forrest Jr., 25, of St. Louis; Corporal Jason G. Pautsch, 20, of Davenport, Iowa; and Army Private First Class Bryce E. Gaultier, 22, from Cyprus, Calif.<\/p>\n<p>The indictment also charges the defendant with conspiring to kill Americans abroad and providing material support to that terrorist conspiracy to kill Americans abroad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, terrorist hugger, <a href=\"http:\/\/politics.salon.com\/2011\/12\/10\/the_real_definition_of_terrorism\/\">Glen Greenwald<\/a> has a problem with semantics as mitigation;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Few things better illustrate the utter meaninglessness of the word Terrorism than applying it to a citizen of an invaded country for fighting back against the invading army and aiming at purely military targets (this is far from the first time that Iraqis and others who accused of fighting back against the invading U.S. military have been formally deemed to be Terrorists for having done so). To the extent the word means anything operationally, it is: he who effectively opposes the will of the U.S. and its allies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, because the indicted party was Iraqi, he has a right to kill Americans from the safety of Toronto and across the continents. Makes sense to me. And it&#8217;s all because &#8220;[t]here is no agreed-to definition of &#8216;terrorists,'&#8221; according to Greenwald in the comments. So we should just cut him loose, because according to Andrew McCarthy, in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/285422\/jihadist-who-helped-kill-us-soldiers-iraq-charged-civilian-defendant-andrew-c-mccarthy\">National Review<\/a>, civilian prosecution is the only way the Obama Administration will handle the case. The Bush Administration would have put the camel fucker in Guantanamo and forgot about him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FBI released a statement yesterday from the Eastern District of New York U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office &hellip; <a title=\"Terrorist in Canada indicted in NYC for murders in Iraq\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=27868\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Terrorist in Canada indicted in NYC for murders in Iraq<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27868\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
