They didn't have a plan, though...Except they were ferried around town by the "terrorist" and supplied with a camera to take pictures of buildings that it wasn't illegal to take pictures of to begin with.
Other than swearing allegiance to AQ...which as far as I know is no more of a crime if you don't act on it than swearing allegiance to the KKK, I can't see what they actually did to deserve a conviction.
But I guess the third time is a charm...this was their third trial.
The innocent taking pictures of a building is not a crime.
If you have a plan to blow up the building and you are taking pictures of the building to aid in your planning of that, then it's a crime in that it is an overt action in the furtherance of a conspiracy to commit a terrorist act (or whatever).
