OU should close the Muslim Student Association immediately and the FBI should put all these under a microscope!
According to Hussein, Cheema is a really really nice guy. LOL
Informal ping of interest.
And yet you just posted a new story with new information that just came out.
Story gets more and more interesting.
Yes, it is "funny".
We need to talk this up like we did with the "Swift Boat/ Kerry" issue.
P.S. Boren is a 'Rat. Was he a guv or senator or both?
....next door neighbor of Slick42 to boot.....
Ping
Yet another mere coincidence, huh?
I know exactly what you mean....and thanks for posting the new story with new information....however, like you said, it seems to fade away after a day or two....when it appears something IS going on.....
Sgt. Klink, sort of.

We Aren't Getting the Full Story on the OU Football "Suicide Bomber"
Posted by Mark Tapscott on October 4, 2005 - 06:01.
University of Oklahoma President David Boren seems determined to have everybody believe Joel Henry Hinrichs III was merely a disturbed young man who decided to commit suicide by blowing himself up within 100 yards of a stadium containing 84,000 screaming fans of Sooner football.
Sorry, I don't buy it, at least not yet. Here's why: First, The Daily Oklahoman is reporting authorities found a large cache of bomb-making materials in Hinrichs' apartment. The cache is so big that the Oklahoman quoted one of the officials on the scene as estimating a full 24 hours would be required to cart away all of the material.
Suicide victims don't normally accumulate a large amount of bomb-making material in their homes. People intent on blowing up other people do.
Second, the proximity to the stadium suggests Hinrichs' target was the crowd, perhaps as people were leaving the game. But being an OU student, he presumably would have access to the student seating section and could have gone from that area to anywhere else in the crowd he chose.
What better place to detonate a bomb guaranteed to both kill and maim many, as well as incite terror and possibly a stampede that would kill and injure more people? My guess is Hinrichs was kept from reaching his target by a premature detonation. Add the proximty of the Micro-Biology building and you may have the potential for a kind of bio-bomb that could have guaranteed utter chaos in and around the stadium.
Third, why was Boren sufficiently familiar with Hinrichs to so quickly issue an opinion about his motive in the bombing? When he resigned in November 1994 as a senator, Boren was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He left the Senate just as the Democrats lost their majority in the GOP sweep of 1994.
Add to his Senate years the presence of an active and long-established Muslim student presence on the OU campus stemming from the school's excellent Petroleum Engineering program, and it stands to reason that Boren has been privy to intelligence briefing as head of the school. Is that how he knew of Hinrichs?
Fourth, Hinrichs appears to have a fresh beard, which is characteristic of new Muslim male converts. His father told The Oklahoman his son was a quiet, intellectual type, but he had no idea what might have incited him to take his own life. We can only assume the father also didn't know of the bomb-making material in his son's apartment. Perhaps we are dealing with a recent or a secret convert?
Finally, if Hinrichs was just a disturbed guy who decided to kill himself with a bomb 100 yards from a crowd of 84,000 people instead of simply putting a bullet through his temple, slashing his wrists or some other traditional way of doing away with oneself, why is the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force now the lead agency in the investigation?
Go here to read the latest dispatch from The Oklahoman.
That's a pretty big "meanwhile" to bury in the story.
Luckily the pipe bomb was found before he boarded the plane, but interestingly, this was another student from Norman -- he says he built it for "fun" -- why would an aviation management student do that?
I might believe it was just a fun project if it was an engineering student, but aviation? And then just to forget it was in his baggage?
Color me skeptical.

I have extensive direct experience with what I am about to write. In general, the Pakistani student communities at major US universities have very, very active social lives. They throw huge parties lasting until dawn with tons of booze and good food. Many non Pakistanis are invited. Some of the women are strikingly beautiful. For young Euro-Americans, there might be a certain allure that arises from this situation. Assuming that it was a goal for a subset of the Pakistani students (for example, Al Qaida or even ISI operatives embedded amongst them) to false flag or even direct recruit Americans, what I have just described would present a perfect opportunity.
The cache is so big that the Oklahoman quoted one of the officials on the scene as estimating a full 24 hours would be required to cart away all of the material.How could it be possible that the roommate did not know?
Tulsa World ping.
That story...and the explanation rang totally true to me.
But maybe I'm an idgit....been one a time or two before.....
