Lynne Stewart, the radical New York civil rights attorney convicted in 2003 of aiding and abetting a terrorist conspiracy, has been sentenced to 28 months in prison.
Stewart and other defendants carried messages between her imprisoned client, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman also known as the blind sheik, and senior members of an Egyptian-based terrorist organization, helping spread Abdel-Rahman's call to kill those who did not subscribe to his extremist interpretation of Islamic law.
The Sheik was imprisoned for plotting to blow up New York City landmarks.
Stewart should count her lucky stars, she could have been sentenced for up to 30 years in prison.
The judge should have thrown the book at Stewart. As the only U.S. lawyer to be indicted on terrorism charge, she is a disgrace to the legal profession and a danger to America.
