PHILADELPHIA — A Colorado woman has admitted she conspired to help a terrorist cell that sought to train with al-Qaida-linked group and incite an Islamic holy war.

U.S. prosecutors say 32-year-old Jamie Paulin-Ramirez of Leadville, Colo., conspired with others to get military training in South Asia and moved to Ireland in 2009 to join the group.

Court papers released Tuesday show the Algerian man she married there sought to recruit "brothers & sisters" to train with the group known as al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb.

Paulin-Ramirez faces up to 15 years in prison after her guilty plea Tuesday to conspiring to aid foreign terrorists.

I know this will cause controversy, but in this case, I don't care.

It seems to me that the penalty should be Death, not 15 years and probably time off for good behavior.

Sounds like Leadville residents need to stock up on Raid! And duct tape! LOL!

Is death for treason still on the books?

And plastic sheeting, Trouble.

Back in the 1970s, I lived for a while in Leadville. Kind of a crazy-making place, I can actually imagine some housewife going nuts and joining a terrorist cell, if only out of boredom. And I did stock Raid, but only because the dumpy cabin we lived in was infested with spiders.
