Couric: "What Evidence They're Terrorists Other than Al-Quaeda Training Camp Stay?"
The Today Show

Posted on 09/17/2002 4:28:05 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Katie Couric just finished an interview with an FBI agent involved in the arrests of the five Arab-Americans in the Buffalo area.

Toward the end of the interview, Katie actually asked the agent:

"Other than the fact that they were trained at an Al-Quaeda camp, what evidence do you have that the suspects are involved with terrorism?"

Good point, Katie. We wouldn't want to jump to any conclusions here. Perhaps these guys were confused by that curvy Arabic script, and thought they had signed up for "Al Kida's Baseball Fantasy Camp". Could happen to anyone.

We took a wrong turn and we thought it was a middle-eastern Boy Scout Camp. Gosh is she stupid or what?

I can also imagine Katie Colonic, transported to another era asking the classic question;
"Outside of that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

No way. She could not have said this. No one, not even a Florida Democrat, is this stoopid.

Other than she is NBC's morning antiAmerican plant,
what evidence is there that Couric is smart and unbiased?

Good rule of thumb - never underestimate the power of stupidity. ;)

I don't know how to get ahold of the people there, but this is something that www.mrc.org would definately be interested in.

Was she born stupid or did she perfect it through practice?

That thought also passed through my mind. Really, it takes a liberal to dream up any possible excuse for criminals and enemies.

I know it's hard to believe, but she really did say it. I will pass it along to Brent Bozell's people at MRC.

Any other FReepers out there hear it?

They thought it was a convention for Al Kayda beauty products, Mary Kay's new line of fragrances and beauty solutions for middle eastern men. The pink cadillac gave them away.

Didn't they do a search for Katie's brain on a Today Show special a couple years ago?

Well, it looks like she has given us no choice. If someone in the future ever says something as equally stupid, it will have to be referred to as a 'Couricism'.
