If the government is shit, you must acquit!
"Appeals court upholds life sentence in terror case" Associated Press December 18, 2013
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — An Iraqi man who pleaded guilty to terrorism charges was not entrapped into assisting in a plot to ship cash and weapons to Al Qaeda in Iraq in 2010 and 2011 and the government did not take part in any misconduct, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
The Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit upheld the life sentence of 26-year-old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, who pleaded guilty in 2012 to taking part in the plot, which was actually being run by a confidential informant for the FBI in Bowling Green.

Set-up strike!
‘‘The government provided Hammadi with an opportunity to commit a crime, and he took it,’’ Judge Karen Nelson Moore wrote for the three-judge panel in the case.
Hammadi and 32-year-old Waad Ramadan Alwan pleaded guilty in 2011 and 2012 to working with a man they thought was an insurgent in the United States to ship thousands of dollars in cash, machine guns, rifles, grenades, and shoulder-fired missiles to Al Qaeda in Iraq from 2010 through 2011.
Prosecutors said the two were actually working with a confidential informant who recorded the pair’s activities and no money or weapons ever left the United States.
Meaning this was ALL a BIG STAGED and SCRIPTED EFFORT for PUBLIC RELATIONS and AGENDA-PUSHING PURPOSES!
That is how they are spending YOUR TAX DOLLARS, austerity-laden Americans!
The two were arrested in May 2011 in Bowling Green, Kentucky, after a federal sting operation.
Hammadi is in a maximum-security prison in Colorado. Alwan is being held at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind.
Hammadi alleged that the federal government resorted to entrapment in pursuing the case against him and sought to enhance any possible prison sentence by including certain types of weapons in the scheme.
Moore said Hammadi willingly took part in the plot.
