How dare they profile such peace-loving Islamic tourists?! I demand to know how they discovered these men, and what civil rights were violated in the discovery! < \ACLU>

We're forbidden to interfere in religious matters and they know it... our greatest internal strength is being turned into our greatest external weakness.

" The men, all of whom claimed to be unemployed civil or chemical engineers..."

This is ONE thing that's NOT suspicious. There are many unemployed engineers....

You left out being a male of middle eastern descent between the ages of 15-50, having a muslim "sounding" name and wearing underwear on their head

IIRC, in 2002, there were reports of ME types jumping ship in port. Now we know where one went at least.

Combine with mosque bust, unpublicized in VA , kinda like the HolyLandFoundation bust in Dallas a few days before 911.

Perhaps we may get intimations of what's afoot.

My opinion is, that after London, we may well engage in renditions from American soil.

But, but - you cannot raid a mosque ! That would be religious profiling.

For each raided mosque you have to raid one synagoge and one church !

" Plus, someone called in a tip on them"

Probably the landlord trying to evict them.

$8000 amongst 5 foreign nationals is nothing. And why wouldn't they have subway maps if they used subways?

So far nothing in this story is incriminating except they were illegal.
