Ahmad Wais Afzali, of the New York borough of Queens, was among three men arrested during the weekend in connection with an alleged bombing plot...

The documents show that Zazi, 24, of Denver, abruptly left New York and returned to Colorado after having wiretapped phone conversations with the imam, which the FBI alleges contained talk of how police were interested in Zazi...

Zazi attended an al-Qaida terrorism training camp in Pakistan and was arrested in possession of notes detailing how to make explosive devices

Yeah, but NOW they have lawyers. Isn't that wonderful? It's a matter of law enforcement.

Another reason to worry about the taxi or shuttle bus drivers.

Not just airplanes

I'm not willing to believe that 100%.

Could it be a pc push to credit a moslem with helping when it's not warranted? Just can't tell nowadays.

During the Viet Nam War taxi drivers, rickshaw drivers, and the like were the number 1 source of intelligence on American troop movements.

Almost every single stand was run by a VC Intelligence officer.

[this is a repost from another thread...]

Just heard something very disturbing on F&F - they are, in effect, sounding the ‘All Clear’ after the arrests of the Zazis and the NY Imam...

This is not only unsupported by published reports - it’s shortsighted and dangerous...

According to all the information that’s available, the FBI has arrested a ‘support cell’ - to date, none of the ‘shooters’ have been apprehended.. Think 9 backpacks - or 12 or 14, depending on which report; think 7 men trying to rent a truck — that’s a lot of very dangerous people accounted for..

Also, there have been no reports of any seizures of weapons or explosive materials — in other words, the ‘action cells’ are still intact out there, still armed, and still dangerous...

Yes, I know that there are lots of things going on, here, beneath the surface, but given the level and types of ‘leakage’ that has characterized this story from the beginning, I believe there should have been at least a ‘whiff’ by now.....

A final note — there’s an assumption that Zazi et. al., once captured, will sing like canaries and give up the rest of the organization.... Maybe under the ‘old regime’, this may have been true, but under the new-fangled ‘Kinder, Gentler, War on Terror’, these men have already lawyered up, and are, by all accounts, not talking....

Sorry, Fox News — you go ahead and breathe your sigh of relief, but I ain’t buying it, yet...

“how in the world did they talk over the phone knowning they were being
looked at and NOT think the phone was tapped? DUH!”

I would not totally discount the possibility that the arrested guys
are allied with real radical Islamic terrorists (Al-Queda, et al.),
but may have acted as “red herrings”.
That is, act suspiciously, drain FBI/domestic law enforcement resources
and keep their eyes/ears off the real functioning terror group.

Being a diversion to keep our anti-terrorists from pursuing the
real terrorists...that would not be a shocker.

There are effective methods for dealing with infiltators, but we are unwilling to employ them. The criminal justice system is not the right answer.
