Quote of the Day: Suspected terrorist Shannon Conley

Ron Ribiat

“If they think I’m a terrorist, I’ll give them something to think I am.”

— Shannon Conley, 18, who was arrested in Denver last April trying to board a one-way flight to the Middle East. FBI agents say Conley first drew attention when she began loitering around Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada, Colo., the site of a fatal shooting in 2007. According to USA Today, Conley told agents “I hate those people” at the church.
