Summer of Sami - Emerson's view

Federal District Judge James S. Moody threw as much of the book as he could at Sami Al-Arian during sentencing this morning, giving him the high end of the sentencing guildelines after his plea bargain on one count of aiding a terrorist organization.

The dailies will be all over it tomorrow, and Al-Arian's side of the story is below in this blog. In the interest of another viewpoint, here is NBC terrorism consultant and Al-Arian's leading critic Steve Emerson's take on the sentencing.
