"White buffalo donated to ranch
DALLAS - An Oregon peacemaker says she was so upset by the apparent slaughter of a rare white buffalo calf in Texas recently that her organization is donating a white buffalo bull from its herd to the Lakota Ranch. Arby Little Soldier, who owns the ranch where the calf was killed nearly two weeks ago, says he’s excited about the 3,000-pound gift. He had hoped it would arrive during a memorial service and powwow this weekend."

"AWOL soldier found guilty in bomb plot" by Angela K. Brown | Associated Press, May 25, 2012
WACO, Texas - A federal jury convicted a Muslim soldier Thursday on six charges in connection with a failed plot to blow up a Texas restaurant full of Fort Hood soldiers, his religious mission to get “justice’’ for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jurors in US District Court deliberated a little more than an hour before finding Private First Class Naser Jason Abdo guilty of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempted murder of US officers or employees, and four counts of possessing a weapon in furtherance of a federal crime of violence - two involving a gun and two involving a destructive device.
Abdo, 22, did not stand with his attorneys when jurors
and the judge entered the room, and showed no emotion when each of the
six guilty verdicts was read by the court clerk. He faces up to life in
prison. Sentencing was set for July.
In a recorded police interview, Abdo said he was planning an attack in the Fort Hood area “because I don’t appreciate what my unit did in Afghanistan.’’

"Texan linked to Al Qaeda gets 20-year jail term" by Juan A. Lozano | Associated Press, May 25, 2012
HOUSTON - A Texas man convicted of trying to sneak out of the United States to give Al Qaeda restricted military documents, GPS equipment, and money was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in prison, the maximum punishment possible.
Barry Walter Bujol Jr. was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine during his sentencing hearing before US District Judge David Hittner.
Bujol was convicted in November on charges of attempting to provide
material support to a foreign terrorist organization and aggravated
identity theft.
Before his sentencing, Bujol told the judge he never wanted to hurt anyone. He also said prosecutors were wrong in portraying him as a terrorist.
“I’m a person, not a terrorist,’’ he said, adding that he had made some mistakes....
Prosecutor Stephen McIntyre said that Bujol, in coded messages sent to people he believed were members of Al Qaeda, advocated the destruction of US drones and the murder of American soldiers.
“The defendant talked about his desire to live and die with the brothers [members of Al Qaeda],’’ McIntyre said....
Prosecutors said Bujol, a US citizen, sought to join Al Qaeda and provide it with money, two nonpublic restricted-access Army manuals related to US drones, and GPS equipment. He was arrested in May 2010 following a two-year investigation when he used false identification to sneak into a Houston port and board a ship for the Middle East.
The 31-year-old said he never intended to harm the United States or any Americans, and that he had wanted to leave the country because he was unhappy with US foreign policy, especially drone attacks. He said he wanted to become a better Muslim.
Authorities used an undercover informant who befriended Bujol and, posing as a recruiter for Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, offered to help him get to the Middle East. The informant was not a law enforcement agent.
Prosecutors also said Bujol traded e-mails with US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who had ties to Al Qaeda.
Al-Awlaki, killed by a US drone strike in September in Yemen, is also believed to have exchanged e-mail with Major Nidal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist charged in the slayings of 13 people in November 2009 at Fort Hood in Texas.

Are you as tired of the patsy-plot frame-ups as I?
And those are only the most recent cases.
Bujol of Hempstead, 50 miles from Houston, was a student at Prairie View A&M University.
And he threw it all away for "Al-CIA-Duh?"

Some think they are terrorists, and they may have a point.
"A former Houston police officer was found not guilty Wednesday of official oppression in the videotaped beating of a 15-year-old burglary suspect, prompting an outraged response from black community leaders who called the verdict an injustice."
Sure looks like state-sponsored terrorism to me.
