If we see so many dry runs, why not arrest, or track, the perpetrators?

I'm of the opinion that any ME male acting suspiciously should be rounded up and roughly interrogated.

you guys should hear the song sung on the video footage (though it may have been the Hollywood version) of a confiscated tape in 'Path to Paradise' (VHS) ... there are a limited number still available on eBay ...

the filmmaker should release more of these, esp. on DVD

Saw something interesting on the interstate this morning. A company truck had a large American flag painted on its back. And, in between the stripes, it read "Kill all the terrorists and let their god sort them out." Gotta love living here in Kentucky.

Well, now that we know where he stands, he shouldn't be allowed back into the country he hates so much. Why should he be allowed to enrich himself while at the same time hoping for our demise?

Big deal. Here in the US we have rappers singing about raping women, murdering people and kicking pregnant women in the stomach because they won't get an abortion. This Syrian group sounds pretty tame in comparison.

I'd say anyone detained in a dry run should get the same treatment as if it were the real thing.

Did you know it is possible to search for previous posts with the same title? Not a lot of people know that.

Hate when that happens.

...thank you for, the semtex explosives belt... near Bekaa.

I don't know, I think that Wayne's got more flava.

But I'm not a twisted, Arab suicide bomber, so don't go by me.
