The 'occupy' mob's organizational incoherence and moral bankruptcy continues apace:

The downtown protest group Occupy Boston threw its proverbial doors open yesterday, and played host to supporters of accused terrorist Terak Mehanna, who are looking to raise awareness of the Sudbury man’s upcoming trial. The Tarek Mehanna Support Committee came to Occupy Boston’s ever-evolving tent city on the Rose Kennedy Greenway to say Mehanna, a Muslim American pharmacist, is a victim of anti-Muslim sentiment. Occupy Boston hosted the pro-Mehanna rally, but, officially, the leaderless group doesn’t have a position on the case.

Say, who is this innocent "victim of anti-Muslim sentiment," anyway?

The man, Tarek Mehanna, 27, was charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. The conspiracy occurred from 2001 to 2008, the acting United States attorney, Michael K. Loucks, said at a news conference in Boston. Mr. Loucks said Mr. Mehanna, an American citizen, was unsuccessful in acquiring weapons to carry out the attack, and was also rejected by terrorist groups abroad. Mr. Loucks said Mr. Mehanna had conspired with others, including Ahmad Abousamra, who the authorities said fled to Syria in 2006, and an unnamed informant. He is had “multiple conversations” about an attack on the mall in the United States, Mr. Loucks said.

“The conversations went so far as to discuss the logistics of a mall attack, including coordination, weapons needed and the possibility of attacking emergency responders,” he said. But Mr. Loucks said the men could not obtain the automatic weapons they wanted for the plot, which he said was inspired by the 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington area. The authorities did not name the two members of the executive branch whom they said Mr. Mehanna and his associates had chosen as targets. The two are not now in office, Mr. Loucks said, and they were not in danger from the plot.
