Yes, clearly the problem is the 'the climate' and not Mohamed and Megahed transporting explosives or Mohamed's making audio/video material 'intended …. to be used against those who fight for the United States.' Even considering Bedier's staunch defense of convicted Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative Sami Al-Arian, and his refusal to condemn the terrorist group, this may constitute a new low.
