This posting is in memory of the Americans who died on September
11, 2014. Never forget!! Never forgive!!
I have been,
and will continue to be for the coming weeks or perhaps months, amidst a
particularly pressing period of personal and professional programming (to wax
alliterative). Not posting as often as
usual, but still here.
Today,
September 11th, my schedule includes a morning conference that happens to be a
few blocks from the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. It will likely be quite crowded, an even
bigger bolagon then Lower Manhattan is under normal circumstances.
In keeping with
the September 11th theme, I note that home-grown terrorist Marcos Alonso Zea
has taken
a plea deal to limit his incarceration to 25 years instead of a potential
life sentence.
Zea decided to
travel to Yemen to join Ansar al-Sharia, Al-Qaida's affiliate there. He didn't have a Yemen visa, so he was turned
back in London, and returned to New York.
He then continued to prep for terrorism activity, and his co-conspirator
was arrested at Idlewyld Airport (now known as JFK Airport in New York City,
but to me it is still Idlewyld). Zea
learned that he, too, was under investigation, and "caused electronic
media on his computer to be destroyed in an effort to obstruct the
investigation. Despite his efforts, a forensic examination of Zea’s electronic
media subsequently conducted by investigators revealed an assortment of violent
Islamic extremist materials, including issues of Inspire magazine, part of
AQAP’s English-language media operations."
My
question: Where are the forensic
examiners who found the goods on Zea's computer? There are some computers at the IRS that need
examination.
