Lynne “Whiskers” Stewart: Blind Sheik a “Remarkable Man”…

What a hideous creature….

October 17, 2007 – Disbarred terror lawyer Lynne Stewart held court at Hofstra yesterday – unrepentant about the help she gave to a World Trade Center bombing conspirator.

Stewart was convicted in 2005 of smuggling secret messages out of prison for Islamic terrorist Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman. Yesterday, she spoke at a panel discussion at the school’s Hempstead campus to a packed room of about 200 people.

She denied aiding terrorism, claiming she was just overzealous in the defense of her client, and said she would appeal the conviction.

Stewart helped Abdel-Rahman, who was convicted of planning a massive terror-bombing campaign in New York, pass messages to an Egyptian associate posing as a translator while she pretended to ask questions.

She called Abdel-Rahman himself "a remarkable man," and said, "Yes, I would do it again, but I would do it differently."

One law student, Michael McGovern, interrupted Stewart as she answered questions after the conference, saying: "You don’t deserve a forum – you’re a disgrace, you should be in jail, you put our country in danger."

    Are we sure she isn’t a fundamentalist herself? Check out that beard!

    That she is Fundamentally Stupid, is my guess.

    Wonder if she has a life-size inflatable Che in her closet?
