A New Jersey man has finally returned home after his active participation in violent jihad to help the African Taliban set up an Islamic state in Somalia. But don't worry, the New York Times is all over the Amir Mohamed Meshal case. Not to expose him as the threat he poses to his neighbors, but to expose the wrongdoings he received at the hands of three foreign nations that had detained him for questioning.

A violent jihadi.....trying to set up a Taliban-like state in Africa....and the New York Times is worried about Meshal's "ordeal". Nuance. I've highlighted what I think are the important nuance words.

A 24-year-old New Jersey man who traveled to Somalia to help establish an Islamic state there but was instead imprisoned by three different nations, was released Friday and returned home yesterday, his father said.

“Everything is fine,” said Mohamed Meshal, the father of Amir Mohamed Meshal....

During his four-month odyssey, Mr. Meshal was imprisoned in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia.

“It’s been quite an ordeal,” Jonathan Hafetz, Mr. Meshal’s attorney, said yesterday.

Mr. Hafetz, a lawyer at the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law, said he did not know why Mr. Meshal had been released.

“The Meshal family is thrilled that their son Amir is free after four months of detention without due process,” the family said in a statement. “They look forward to spending time with their son, who they love very much.”

Meshal is not being currently detained because the FBI has determinned that he violated no law when he went to Somalia to help the African Taliban. Gee, I feel much better now........

We have a name for people who support the enemies of the United States: traitor.
