She has been in custody since October, this says. Why are we only hearing about all this now?
An update on this story. "U.S. 'Jihad Jane' Pleads Not Guilty to Terrorism," from Reuters, March 18:
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A Pennsylvania woman who called herself "Jihad Jane" pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges of providing material support to terrorists and conspiring to kill in a foreign country.Colleen LaRose appeared in federal court in Philadelphia accused of plotting with others over the Internet to kill a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the Prophet Mohammed in a way that was offensive to Muslims, and of wanting to become a martyr to Islam.
LaRose, 46, from Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, has been in custody since October. A grand jury indictment against her, unsealed on March 9, says that she recruited men online to wage "violent jihad" or holy war, in South Asia and Europe.
She told co-conspirators that her appearance as a blonde-haired white woman would allow her to "blend in with many people" and avoid being detected as an Islamic terrorist, the indictment says.
Yeah, sure. As if anybody were giving Arab or Pakistani men extra scrutiny.
Didn't that Buffalo-based, mahoundian-TV-station owning, Porkistan-born wife beheader also plead not guilty to charges of chopping off his wife's head?
Unless we're talking apostates (who will mercilessly be condemned and threatened by their former fellow members of the Umma), mahoundians always see themselves as "innocent" and "not guilty", don't they?
How dare the Americans try her in a kuffar court!
I says this in the original story:
"LaRose is likely to follow routine legal procedure today during her arraignment and plead not guilty. Such a plea would not preclude a negotiated plea agreement; it would simply mark the start of formal court proceedings against LaRose."
Being a muhammadan means never having to say you're sorry.

I think Ms. Napolitano was too busy hunting down disgruntled vets of the Iraq and Afghan wars to report Jane's bust.
*** 92:8 ***
But you must admit that there were no planes or trains blown up by vets during this our Director of Homeland Security's tenure, so good work there.
Colleen LaRose appeared in federal court in Philadelphia...
Now that's a damned shame. Evidence is that she committed her crime as a Jihad war terrorist, in other words as an enemy combatant.
*** 33:21 ***
Therefore she should be tried in a military tribunal.

I doubt many Westerners reading this will even blink—but they should. By saying that Lars Vilks "depicted the Prophet Mohammed in a way that was offensive to Muslims" Reuters basically implies that all Muslims have a right to feel aggrieved, but that Ms. LaRose just 'went a bit too far'.
This is b*llsh*t. Lars Vilks is not Muslim, and it is in no way incumbent upon him—or on *any* Infidel—to follow Islamic norms.
It's a smaller point, but there is no need to refer to Mohammed as the "Prophet" Mohammed, either—he can be referred to either with "prophet" uncapitalized, or—preferably, when space allows—as "the *Muslim* Prophet Mohammed".
He's not our "prophet", in any case. This also serves—intentionally or not—to enforce Muslim norms. This is also true with the uncritical reference to places like Karbala and Qom as "Holy" cities.
Not to me they ain't. Bet they aren't to you, either.
Perhaps the, "monster prophet" would the best, and the most accurate description.
