I would like to discount the entire german guy dialog as goofball conspiracy theory but for the fact that some guys from Israel were picked up near some major facility (was it Oakridge?) over the past year or so and there is the possibility that it is a clouds enterprise propaganda piece to shift our focus or blur our focus from something else that is imminent...or that (really, really stretching here) some other spy agency just might be up to some hijinks, trying to prompt the US.
See my post from last night -- #3981. Is this the incident you were referring to?
That whole drama seemed unreal to me. The 2 Israelis were driving a moving van from FL to somewhere in WV and got "lost" on a curvy 2 lane highway in eastern TN. Unicoi County, to be exact, which happens to be near the Nuclear Fuel Services Plant in Erwin (the only supplier of nuclear fuel for the Navy). They were traveling at a high rate of speed and when a small town sheriff tried to pull them over, they threw "an unknown substance" in a bottle from the window. They had a business card or flyer from a FL flight school in the van.
Turns out, one of the guys was the son of the Likud Party spokesman, and was himself the former spokesman for the National Union of Israeli Students which represents the country's 150,000 university students.
The case was taken out of the local sheriff's hands when the FBI was called in. It was eventually turned over to INS who deported them. Seems they showed fake identification even though they were in the country legally (?).
