Colorado mom charged in terror case 'overwhelmed and distraught'
2010-04-04
A Colorado woman who was indicted on terrorism charges Friday is "overwhelmed and distraught and very much in tears with concern for her son," her lawyer said Saturday.

Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, 31, was charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. Her lawyer, Jeremy Ibrahim, said he met with her for the first time on Saturday.
Was this guy on Al Qaeda's "Approved Lawyers" list?
Is that the ACLU short list or the Center for Constitutional Rights list?

#7  "overwhelmed and distraught and very much in tears with concern for her son,"

Not exactly a candidate for mom of the year. Behavior often has consequences for more people than just yourself. But not for the narcissistic.

#6  There's a MacGuffin here:

It alleges that Paulin-Ramirez married an unidentified co-conspirator whom she had never met.

#5  Jeremy H. G. Ibrahim, Philadelphia Litigation Lawyers. Catholic University of America, School of Law. So unless he has had a late in life conversion he might just be interested in Fifth Amendment protections.

She is a US citizen so take out the trash in a constitutional manner.

#4  The money quote was in an article about her last month in the WSJ:
A few months before she disappeared, her stepfather says he confronted her: "What are you going to do, strap a bomb on and blow up something?" he asked her. He recalled that she responded: "If necessary, yes."

-- Her brother had this to say:
He said he was "actually relieved" she had been arrested because it may help them get her son back. "My only concern is getting her son back. Other than that, I don't care what happens to her."
