Re #1

Are these guys for real or just decoys ? I suspect that Al-Qaeda sent more than one team, just like in old spy/comedy movie "Spies Like Us". I am not kidding here.

So....is the bomb material here in the US? Where's the stuff? Tom Dashle wants to know.

If nothing else, Mr. Padilla appears qualified for Islamist membership based on his "spawned by Satan from a cauldron of evil" facial expression.

These guys all look as if they've been peeled from underneath a rock (e.g., Atta, Moussouai, Reed).

I could see the democratics now. "I refuse to believe this. It's 'Wag the Dog'." But when Clinton bombed Serb civilians, oh that was great. They loved it. Yum yum, when we bomb Christians on behalf of Islamics.

Talk about 'Big Oil' driving polititians, perhaps the DNC sucks up to the Big Oil of Arabia. 'To hell' with Christians. Lock up any oil reserve other than Arabia's. Poor Philstines... er... Palistinians. Don't waste that precious oil but pay out the nose for it for the sake of the planet. I can't think of any other ways they could suck up to Arabia without losing their jobs.

Maybe Biden is right. Perhaps we can't have Homeland Defense on the cheap. And I suspect that is exactly what Bush was hoping he would say.

The great thing about these guys is when they die, Satan has the old Spit at the Lake of Fire ready for 'em.

BTW, any thoughts as to what happens to Scientologists when they meet thier maker?

Be Seeing You,

I wonder what kind of family life he had, what were his parents like. Reid, and Lindh both came from dysfunctional, weird families.

If you think about it, all 19 of the 9/11 terrorist were no better at blending in and covering their tracks than this moron. One of the passengers aboard the shoe bomber's plane said in an interview the following day that she was just staring at the shoe bomber when he boarded and thinking that if this guy was a terrorist, he wasn't doing a very good job of disguising it.

Al-Queda is an incompetent cluster-f~ of bottom feeding buffoons that only survived this long because we let our guard down and our will down.

"Padilla is a former gang member from Chicago who was raised Catholic but converted to Islam…
Undersecretary of State John Bolton indicated the man was carrying plans for the attack when he was picked up in Chicago…
Attorney General John Ashcroft said Al Qaeda apparently believed Padilla would be permitted to travel freely within the United States because of his citizenship and his U.S. passport…
Padilla "trained with the enemy," studying how to wire explosives and researching radiological weapons. Ashcroft said Padilla met several times in 2001 with senior Al Qaeda officials in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where he traveled after he served one year's probation on state weapons and assault charges in Sunrise, Fla…
Padilla first met Zubaydah in Afghanistan in late 2001 after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, then went to Lahore, Pakistan, to research dirty bomb techniques with an unidentified associate, officials said. At Abu Zubaydah's request, Padilla traveled to Karachi, Pakistan, in March to meet several senior Al Qaeda officials and discuss bombings of U.S. gas stations and hotels, officials said…
He was convicted at 15 as a juvenile of aggravated battery, armed robbery and attempted armed robbery. A law enforcement official said Padilla was in custody there between November 1985 and May 1988…
In Florida, he was convicted in 1991 in Sunrise on charges of aggravated assault and discharging a firearm, court records show…
While in the Broward County jail, Padilla was accused of battery on a jail officer and resisting without violence in January 1992. He pleaded guilty and spent 10 months behind bars...
Court records also show Padilla with speeding convictions in 1993 and 1997, and his driver's license was suspended in 1996…

Spook, is this one of the bin Laden's "deep cover and sleepers agents…already tasked for future missions"? Is this how they blend into American society, able to bypass background checks? ;-}

Arrested on the day he was to be presented his 10th Gold Glove. Now what will the Rangers do at the catching position?

[Lady Jag]

Good one! I hope you're not the only one who picked up on that.

[concerned about politics]

Peter Jennings, 6:00 World News yesterday:
"He's being detained without council!"
"He's being held for an infanant amount of time without knowing what he's being charged with?"

Excuse me, he was planning to kill Americans? Hello?

I also heard about the shoe bombers new defence: " He was medicated at the time."

Who are these reporters and lawyers, and what are they doing in our country?

I wonder what kind of family life he had, what were his parents like. Reid, and Lindh both came from dysfunctional, weird families.

Both went to public schools?

[DoughtyOne]

To be honest, I don't think this guy was involved.  However, McVeigh was twenty-six on April 19,
1995.  This individual would have been twenty-four.  They would have been eighteen to twenty-four
months apart in age.

[DoughtyOne]

Actually another Freeper picked up on it early yesterday on another thread. I simply made the overlay so people could see the similarities.

[texasbluebell]

Someone was remarking on another thread that Fox and Friends even picked up on it this morning!

[DoughtyOne]

Yes they did, although I don't think they had photos up. I just copied the hair of the JohnDoe onto this "dirty" bomber. Spooky is about all I can say. The guy is a dead ringer for John Doe # 2. Remember that his face would likely been thinner years ago. And that makes his face fit even more.

Law enforcement sources told Fox News another man named Benjamin Ahmed Mohammed was implicated in the plot and was taken into custody in Pakistan "recently," perhaps late last month.

....after being interrorgated extensively by the Pakastinis, Mohammed ratted out Padilla?
