Judge delivers harsh rebuke to Sami Al Arian
 A federal judge yesterday lambasted a former Florida college professor, Sami Al-Arian, as a liar and "master manipulator," before sentencing him to nearly five years in prison for providing support to a Middle Eastern terrorist group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad....You are a master manipulator. You looked your neighbors in the eyes and said you had nothing to do with Palestinian Islamic Jihad. This trial exposed that as a lie," Judge Moody said. "The evidence was clear in the this case that you were a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad."[The WaPo has an editorial today saying that Arain is a piece of trash and also trashing the Dept of Justice's work in the prosecution] Still no word from the defenders of Al-Arian at the NYTimes and the various scholarly institutions.
