The James Ujaama case is an example of guilt by association, racism in the Justice Department, and the criminalization of skin color, ethnicity and national origin by the Bush administration.
Here’s what James Ujaama’s attorney said yesterday:

Further details of what he did:
According to yesterday’s plea documents, Ujaama traveled to Pakistan in late 2000 to help an unidentified conspirator travel to jihad training camps in Afghanistan.

Ujaama initially drew support from a wide range of community leaders in Seattle, where he had been known as a community activist and small-time entrepreneur who was honored with a day of recognition by one state legislator.
