Sorry! I didn't mean to diss Boston Freepers. I just meant that as an economic target, Boston wouldn't exactly be at the top of the list...and that's no reflection on Boston Freepers, who I'm sure do their best!

[McGavin999]

Thing is, it may not be that they intend to explode it in Boston, they may just be going to Boston to meet up with their contact and to receive the bomb. Remember, Atta and friends started out in Boston.

It's the "four chinese" that I don't get. One would not expect terrorist synmpathies from a Chinaman. OTOH, China is a big place with lots of minorities, but the ethnic Han (the people westerners usually picture when they hear the word "chinese") are not muslims, they're Buddhists if anything. Maybe the Chinese were just your run of the mill illegals who happened to cross with two iraqi terrorists. Still, it doesn't sound right to me some how.

[CindyDawg]

Maybe they intentionally alarmed the coyote, to draw attention from where they were actually going. If we have pictures then at least maybe we will know who came across.

More from CNN...

Law enforcement sources said the caller said four Chinese chemists and two Iraqis were smuggled over the U.S. border from Mexico and were headed to Boston, either carrying or planning to receive some unspecified dangerous materials.

[Mears]

Believe me,I knew what you meant.Just wanted a little sympathy for those of us stuck in this liberal hell.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Or a test.

Mexico link in Qaeda nuke plot

Monday 11 15 2004 - 02:28:44 AM
WASHINGTON In a diabolical plot, al Qaeda operatives may be trying to smuggle nuclear weapons into Mexico for an eventual strike against the United States, Time magazine reports.

Mexico may be a help to us here. Why would they want something like that to happen . It's not finacially feasible for them. After 911 our agents on this side were giving mothers a hard time and looking for people buying Cipro. Mexicans where searching cars coming into the U.S.

Does "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", give you a clue?

You have a whole lotta catching up to do on the chicoms, it sounds like. Wish I knew where to tell you to start. They've been real busy world wide undermining and undercutting us. Start with their oil tentacles. Or, go to google and type in 'china, mexico', or 'china. iran', or 'china, fill-in-the-blank'.

[genefromjersey]

Or a very clever feint-designed to draw manpower to the Boston area.

I'm guessing it is a hoax: dreamed up by one of the ANSWER kiddies,or DFU-ers,etc. You know: someone with a college education and a junior high values.

[Last Visible Dog]

While this is not really a funny thread - I misread the title as Boston Terrier threat probed

[Blood of Tyrants]

That too.

The speed in which pictures of the wanted Chinese and their names where "found" and released...suggests that perhaps China is helping to find these folks. They may be rouge government people who sold their skills in exchange for money and a life in the Bahamas. China does not want it's biggest customers getting cities blown up or small pox attacks...it is bad for business and their overall long term goals.

One thing is clear...there is something going on that is way above the pay grade of Boston's mayor and the Mass. Governor. The don't sound to "reassuring"... if you know what I mean...

May the Force be with us all.....

[BureaucratusMaximus]

OK...tinfoil hat on.

Funny how one day before Bush gets sworn in this happens. Remember how Kerry said in the debates that the smuggling of nuclear material should be the top defense priority? I wouldn't put it past the DNC for staging this/paying some scum off to pull a hoax...just to try to prove one of their pathetic talking points.

"China does not want it's biggest customers getting cities blown up or small pox attacks...it is bad for business and their overall long term goals."

The chicoms are working real hard at replacing us as their biggest customers. The buyers of the cheap junk. I think they're making more off selling arms worldwide. As far as their 'long term goals'. World hedgemon.

And remember, Bin Laden's brother taught at Harvard before he hightailed it out of the country.

[livius]

Yes, it's hard to say what the Chinese would be doing there - and they look truly Chinese, not one of the ethnic minorities in China. I was wondering if they were sort of accidental, and just dumped their Mexican documents (their ID cards or passports seem to be in Spanish) before they crossed into the US. There seem to be hundreds of Chinese turning up today - I think I've read at least two reports of separate groups of Chinese turning up in shipping containers today or yesterday.

However, the fact that somebody points out below, that the Chinese are supposedly chemists, makes it sound a little more suspicious than that. (Although it may all be disinformation, too.)

"However, the fact that somebody points out below, that the Chinese are supposedly chemists...."

Don't think Osama would waste a 'chemist' on a suicide mission.

I'm leaning to the 'day before inauguration - hoax' theory myself.

But I've been wrong before.
