The unindicted terrorist co-conspirators from CAIR immediately began seething.
Reaction so far from Michelle Malkin, Allahpundit at Hot Air, LGF, Captain's Quarters.
UPDATE 2:37 ET: CNN story.
The jury in the Jose Padilla terror trial has found the American guilty of conspiracy to support Islamic terrorism overseas.UPDATE II 3:18 ET: Assorted reaction at Memeorandum.
Jose Padilla was originally accused of planning a "dirty bomb" attack in the U.S.
Padilla's two co-defendants, Adham Hassoun and Kifan Jayyousi, were also found guilty on the three counts as charged: conspiracy to murder, kidnap, and maim people in a foreign country, conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists, and providing material support for terrorists.
The verdict came after less than two days of deliberations, according to a U.S. District Court official.
Sentencing is set for December 5. All three defendants face life in prison.
It appears many of the leftwing blogs are too busy wiping away the tears, but I'm sure the venom will start flying before long.
UPDATE III 3:30 ET: Sure enough. The Democrat Party's favortie blog is apoplectic.
Over at the Home Office For Hate, the commenters, the commenters are losing it, as expected.

That's about where I see things. Given this guy was broken down over 3.5 years and this is what they got, I gotta wonder if even this was manufactured. A judge permitted some "evidence" of Osama to prejudice the jury seems awfully like hangman justice to me, too. Unless they can concretely tie one to the other with documents or audio, etc. I don't understand how this was allowed. Frankly I don't even get how this guy was ruled competent to stand trial when he seems so fearful to his family that they hardly recognize him and he clams up begging not to be asked about torture. I bet he and the others get shanked in prison before the truth comes out. This seems fishy to me. I'm not ready to say he isn't guilty of something but I have doubts about this case and whether or not the process was tainted.

This has been the most ridiculous "trial" ever conceived. They trumped up a bunch of charges and railroaded this guy. So far, they haven't found one single real terrorist yet. Just a bunch of scapegoats that happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. And I love how they keep "recovering" evidence from Afghanistan. Have you looked at that place lately? We bombed it to rubble after the Soviets bombed it to rubble. They must have a document-forging operation over there, just so they can come up with "evidence" against people here. One more person thrown in prison for the rest of his life to prop up Bush's GWOT. How can they expect us to believe any of this?

"the U.S. The administration called his detention an important victory in the war against terrorism, not long after the Sept. 11 attacks."
Lies, lies, lies.
The Administration was behind 9/11. George W. Bush and Company profited handsomely from 9/11 and the illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq.
Lies, lies, lies.
Wake up America, it is just about to late.

And don't forget Silverstein. Also, Bush's little brother owned the security company for both World Trade Centers and the airport the planes came from. Too many coincidences.

This verdict is outragous, this government is not legitimate, this is sick. I just feel bad for those taken by the Bush Administration and held illegally that we don't know about...
