Rep. Sue Myrick (R-N.C.) let slip a bombshell disclosure at a news conference today to announce a bill targeting states that allow illegal aliens to get drivers licenses.
During the Q&A with reporters, Myrick gave as a reason for proposing the bill the recent capture of three al Qaeda terrorists at the U.S.-Mexico border.
A check of Google News turned up no references to this incident, yet Myrick stated this was a 'given fact.'
No reporter asked her about this revelation, but it was noted at the end of a Charlotte Observer article by Tim Funk.
Two Representatives from North Carolina, Virginia Foxx (R) and Patrick McHenry (R) stood with Myrick at the press conference. Neither commented on her matter of fact statement.
Rep. Myrick's remarks can be heard online at her Congressional Website here. the statement is made at about 8:45 into the press conference.
A call placed to Myrick's office in D.C. was not answered as the office is closed for the evening.
Transcript:
"Our main concern is, who's in our state? I mean this is a critical issue today. I mean they just arrested down on the border, what a couple of weeks ago, three al Qaeda members who came across from Mexico into the United States. I mean that's a given fact. They were holding them in the jail down there."
What did Bubba say yesterday about them all being PRODUCTIVE STUDENTS....?
The jail down there? In Mexico? Or in the U.S.? I, too, would like to know when and where this happened!
Leak investigation #3? (and the 3rd Republican?)
If we get nuked, NO administration, no matter how patriotic, can hope for political survival, if they continue this unmanned border INSANITY.
........probably just three Democrats from the Party of Peace.
Send it to Drudge.

fyi ping
This is huge. This will get 500 follow up comments, or more.
After the horrific bombings in Jordan, and warnings that the US is a soft target, the Bush admin. had better do something about the border and fast.
Classified information slip "whoopsie?"
send it to Bush, it's his fault
The major networks are all over this, right?
They're just doing the BOMBING that Americans aren't willing to do...
I would think it better if we had no mosques. It's clear that they are staging areas for conquest.
Hat tip to southernnorthcarolina for posting the Observer article which buried this 'tidbit'.

"Disinformation" by Richard Miniter is an excellent book, with one huge exception: one of his "myths" is that terrorists might come across the US/Mexico border. That's no myth, and this proves it.
How in the hell do we get our senators and representatives to close the borders? Do we have to send a lynch mob to Washington?
It would definitely help if there weren't so many appeasors in the U.S., whose behaviors/comments remind me so much, of late, of the frenchies.
