This image provided by the SITE Intelligence Group shows Colleen LaRose an American woman from Pennsylvania indicted Tuesday March 9, 2010 accused of using the Internet to recruit jihadist fighters and help terrorists overseas. A federal indictment charges that Colleen R. LaRose, who called herself JihadJane and Fatima LaRose online, agreed to kill the Swede on orders from the unnamed terrorists and traveled to Europe to carry out the killing. It doesn't say whether the Swede was killed, but LaRose was not charged with murder.

He is not resigning, as even the Radar Online site quickly concluded in backing away from its own story. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)AP - U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts said Tuesday the scene at President Barack Obama's first State of the Union address was "very troubling" and that the annual speech to Congress has "degenerated into a political pep rally."
