A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted three Ohio men for their role in assisting terrorism on U.S. targets overseas, specifically American military personnel and their allies in Iraq.

The indictment, which was unsealed Monday, said the men plotted to kill U.S. and coalition military personnel in Iraq and other countries. On at least two separate occasions, among other charges, at least one of the men verbally threatened to kill or inflict bodily harm on President Bush, the indictment says.

The men named in the indictment are: Mohammad Zaki Amawi, 26, who was a citizen of Jordan and the United States who lived in Toledo until August 2005; Marwan Othman El-Hindi, a 42-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen born in Amman, Jordan who lives in Toledo; and Wassim Mazloum, a 24-year-old legal U.S. resident who operated a car business with his brother in Toledo after entering the United States from Lebanon.

How many others are lurking inside our borders, planning similar acts of treason? This strengthens our need for NSA surveillance and the Patriot Act, I think.

The indictment also notes that a fourth person, referred to as "the trainer," was a U.S. citizen but was not named as a conspirator. One official told FOX News that law enforcement was tipped to the activities of these three men by this informant, who is an ex-U.S. military man who fought overseas and was living in Toledo. He is described as "a respected member of the Muslim community" who came forward and gave information to the authorities.

The Justice Department said "the trainer" was working on behalf of the government and was cooperating from the beginning of the investigation.

But of course the "trainer" was working on the "behalf of the government" dig far enough into any alleged terror plot or action and there is almost always a G-man or two lurking around doing alittle "training". Usually the media leave out these little details or put them on the back page.

Now that Bush's domestic pying program has gone mainstream they need "news" like this to scare us into going along with killing the fourth amendment.

Color this damage control.

Law enforcement officials also told FOX News that if it were not for the Patriot Act, authorities would not have been able to bring the charge of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.

The issue of warrantless wiretaps has been a controversial one after information regarding such a program being conducted by the National Security Agency was leaked to the New York Times. Since then, a firestorm of criticism has been heaped upon the administration, which argues that the president has the authority to allow warrantless wiretaps in a time of war if it is in the national security interest of the United States.

That's right folks the expanded Patriot Act is about to be passed into law. This should cut down on dissent over that also. I love the way they worked that little plug in there.

Rumsfeld said they were going to ramp up the propaganda war, I was wondering when it would start. Look forward to more "news" of this nature in the not to distant future. They only got till March 10th to convince us of the need for the Patriot Act.

Great timing btw, Rupert as per usual.

Actually, the Rich Sheikh owns the majority shares in Fox News now, not Rupert. I posted a link about it awhile back.

Good point LE. The Clinton Bush team, the sheikhs and Rupert all share common interests. That would be the three p principle.
