Post AA mech sent to prison 3 yrs for tampering

An American Airlines mechanic convicted of sabotaging a navigation system on a Miami flight with 150 passengers aboard was sentenced tothree years in prison Wednesday after a legal debate over whether he “recklessly” or “intentionally” endangered the safety of the aircraft.

Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani, 60, who pleaded guilty in December to tampering with the aircraft before takeoff last summer at Miami International Airport, received the benefit of a “reckless” finding by U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke. It was based on an agreement between his defense attorney and federal prosecutors.

Had the judge found that his tampering with the plane’s guidance system was intended to bring it down, Alani could have been sent to prison for two to three times longer under federal sentencing guidelines.

while this dude clearly needs a longer sentence, you sound kinda ignorant. He’s a naturalized US citizen... where do you want to deport him to? Topeka? Denaturalization is not applicable in this case.

Internet rule #1: When calling someone ignorant on the internet make sure you don't make an ignorant statement.
Internet rule #2: Same goes for grammar and spelling.

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)

What happens when a naturalized U. S. citizen looses his birthright foreign citizenship and then gets denaturalized? Then what?

Csy Mon,

I agree with you that guy is a POS but I have read your other threads and you sir hate minorities. Did a Mandingo have an affair with your gal? Do you hate women? Or you just scared to come out of the closet? Which one is it?
