#1 She was just a child when she did the bombing - it shouldn't be held against her today; really, at this point what difference does it make. Like Ayers & Dorn, she is now a mature, contributing member of society, right?

#2 I'm surprised she's not already a high-ranking "policy" official at State Dept

#3 Frank: Once elected to the US Senate, you can skip State Department policy positions and proceed directly to the WH.

#4 It gets better:

Odeh works as an associate director at the Arab American Action Network, a Chicago-area nonprofit group that advocates for new immigrants and tries to combat anti-Muslim and anti-Arab prejudice, according to its director, Hatem Abudayyeh. According to the network's website, Odeh has a law degree and has worked as a lawyer. It says one of her focuses has been working with domestic-violence groups and addressing various women's issues.

"She is a leader in the community — a stalwart, an icon," said Abudayyeh, who appeared at the Chicago federal court building to support Odeh. He added about her arrest, "It's an escalation of attacks on our community. ... We are very, very angry."

Abudayyeh was one of 23 Palestinian and left-wing activists in Chicago, Minneapolis and Grand Rapids, Mich., whose homes were raided by the FBI around 2010. The government has divulged almost nothing about the investigation since, and no one has been indicted.

#5 and tries to combat anti-Muslim and anti-Arab prejudice

By blowing the h8ters up, apparently.

Interesting that she was busted for lying on a federal form. We sometimes mock questions like "Are you a vicious terrorists?", but they do provide a lever to use against them, if only after the fact.

#6 Uh, Glenmore, I'm assuming the /sarc tag was broken. Doing the math, she was 22 at the time....

#7 BA - in defense of Glenmore, I knew it was sarcasm from the start.

And anyway, according to the Bambi administration, you're still a "child" at 22, since you can stay on your parents' health insurance until you're 26.

God help us all.

By US health insurance standards she still had 4 years left of childhood.
