Some more egg on Ashcroft's face with the outcome of this - Portland, Oregon terror case:

Eight months ago, Sheik Mohamed Abdirahman Kariye, 41, was arrested at the airport in Portland, Ore. while he and his family were waiting to catch a flight.

Agents said at the time that a check of his luggage revealed traces of explosive residue, and he was linked to a number of allegedly pro-Taliban worshipers at the mosque, which The Oregonian said Friday was attended by the most fundamentalist members of Portland's Muslim community.

Here's the final outcome: 5 years probation and a $1,000. fine for "for fudging an application for state health insurance" by "falsifying his income in order to enroll in a health insurance program for low-income Oregon residents."

Kariye's lawyer had this to say after the sentencing:

"Shame on Washington," Cohen told reporters outside the Portland courthouse. "This is an administration with a lot of flair and no substance."
