Really? Tell that to the 3000+ Americans who died on 9/11.
Which one, that she was an idiot or that terrorists aren't easy to spot? Those 3000+, including the couple that were personal acquaintances of mine who worked in WTC are dead because those terrorists were not easy to spot. In fact, they didn't fit any of the broad stereotypes that I commonly hear around here. They (9/11 hijackers) weren't dressed like Arabs, they weren't so obviously different from everyone else who got on those planes.

And unlike this blond, they had had some serious training. Unlike her, they weren't posting their personal info on the net. That is not to say that she posed no danger or that she shouldn't be behind bars for the rest of her miserable life. I hope they put her in the general populous.

JihadJane, an American woman, faces terrorism charges

From news article:
A petite, blond-haired, blue-eyed high school dropout who allegedly used the nickname JihadJane was identified Tuesday as an alleged terrorist intent on recruiting others to her cause, as federal prosecutors unsealed criminal charges that could send her to prison for life.

Colleen Renee LaRose, 46, has been quietly held in U.S. custody since October on suspicions that she provided material support to terrorists and traveled to Sweden to launch a violent attack, according to federal officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case is continuing to unfold.

LaRose, who lived in suburban Philadelphia, allegedly recruited men and women in the United States, Europe, and South Asia to "wage violent jihad," according to an indictment issued in Pennsylvania. She fueled her interests on the Internet over the past few years, and used Web sites and YouTube to post increasingly agitated messages, the court papers said.

As an American citizen whose appearance and passport allowed her to blend into Western society, LaRose represents one of the worst fears of intelligence and FBI analysts focused on identifying terrorist threats. She is one of only a handful of women to be charged with terrorism offenses in the United States, national security experts said.

Across the ocean Tuesday, Irish police conducted morning raids in Cork and Waterford, arresting four men and three women who had been under electronic surveillance by U.S. and Swedish authorities. The seven were suspected of plotting with LaRose to attack a Swedish artist, Lars Vilks, whose 2007 drawing of the prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog enraged Muslims, according to Irish news accounts.

Justice Department officials declined to comment on the arrests in Ireland or on whether Vilks was a target of LaRose's.

David Kris, assistant attorney general for the national security division, said the prospect that a suburban American woman had conspired to support terrorists and traveled overseas to advance a plot "underscores the evolving nature of the threat we face."

Mark Wilson, a lawyer for LaRose at the Federal Community Defender Office in Philadelphia, declined to comment. LaRose has not yet been scheduled for an arraignment on the charges, according to a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Michael L. Levy.

Any wonder then why Muslims in Ireland look on this media exercise as yet another attack on Islam and Muslims, an obfuscation that takes the focus off the belligerent Jewish State’s continued criminal existence and its utter disregard for international law. Obsessed with Israel much?
