College Choices

 Man, am I glad my nephew isn't considering Northeastern University:

 "The recent arrest in Boston of Rezwan Ferdaus for planning a terror attack on the Pentagon adds to the growing list of Muslim students who have been radicalized in New England. Rezwan joins four other New England Muslim college graduates were charged with or convicted of terrorist acts:

• Ahmad Abousamra (Northeastern University) and  Tarek Mehanna (UMass, Boston) who according to federal authorities planned to shoot shoppers at the Emerald Square Mall in Attleboro with automatic weapons. (Mehanna goes on trial this month.)

• Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT graduate, known as Lady Al Qaeda, who was sentenced to 86 years for attempting to shoot FBI agents in Afghanistan.

• Abdulrahman Alamoudi, an MIT graduate sentenced to 23 years for his involvement in a Libyan plot to assassinate the Saudi crown prince in 2004."
