He denies it all now. It is unclear why he would have asserted it all in this phone call, however, if it were not true. Of course, there could be any number of reasons. But this case bears monitoring. "Infiltration from the south feared: Terrorist smuggling denied by admitted drug runner," from The Brownsville Herald, with thanks to Richard:
Officials are pointing to records in a South Texas drug case with alleged terrorist ties that they say underscores the lack of preparedness here. The attorney for a jailed Gulf Cartel member cited in the incident, however, says his client was falsely accused of trying to smuggle Iraqi terrorists into this country. He maintains the claims were brought to increase the punishment for a drug offense against the accused.
The allegations are debated but the danger is real, warns U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz who believes federal lawmakers do not realize the exposure that exists on this porous international boundary.
“There is a huge disconnect between Washington and the border,” Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, said and called the security issue “alarming.”
‘Gente de Osama’
The January 2005 arrest of Noel Exinia and Cesario Nuñez appeared to be just another Drug Enforcement Administration bust on the border, until court documents in the case are examined more closely.
A few days before their arrest on federal cocaine trafficking charges, Exinia and Nuñez moved more than a quarter-ton of cocaine from Mexico through the Rio Grande Valley and on to New York City, the men told officials.
Nuñez, 33, pleaded guilty to a drug conspiracy charge in September. His sentencing is set for Thursday.
Exinia, 35, eventually pleaded guilty to the same charge. His sentencing is expected in March.
Court documents filed in Exinia’s case make frequent references to his position in the notorious Gulf Cartel. The paperwork also contains details of a December 2004 incident in which he tried to secure transportation for 20 Middle Eastern “terrorists” waiting to enter the United States from Monterrey, Chiapas and Puebla in Mexico.
Recorded telephone conversations authorized under the U.S. Patriot Act and a court order captured the La Feria truck driver referring to the 20 men as “gente de Osama” or “Osama’s people.”
During a Jan. 5, 2005, telephone conversation, Exinia described the men as “Iraqis,” ages 25 to 33, who were willing to pay $8,000 for transportation past Border Patrol checkpoints in South Texas and into the U.S. interior.
Exinia mentioned that eight of the men were coming to Progreso, northwest of Brownsville. He said they were “dangerous” and “really bad people.” They carried guns and made the smuggler that was helping them “afraid.”
Be on the look out for the following:
Osama Gonzalez.
Ayman Rodriguez.
Abu Musab Lopez.
Build a wall and install guard towers with orders to shoot upon sight.
If these terrorists blow up someplace Arlen Specter cares about, like downtown Philly, will he decide the govt. listening in on terrorist phone calls within the US might be a good thing?
Bottom line: we're being invaded. Period. End of discussion.
They fully realize the danger, they just hope that the NSA and CIA and FBI will catch them first. The 'Rats actually WANT the terrorists to succeed so they can scream about the failure of Bush to protect us. Never mind that they have opposed any type of immigration reform and every attem[pt to secure the nation, the liberal media will faithfully parrot the daily 'Rat talking points.
There have been some large purchases of pre-paid cell phones recently.

I think we are about to see some attacks in the US...very soon.
No they don't. The Rats smell blood over wiretapping, Abramoff, DeLay etc. Whether it works or not we'll have to wait and see, but as long as they can focus on "culture of corruption" that's what they want.
The last thing they want is for events to bring national security to the forefront of people's minds.
That was the first thing I thought of reading this story.
...U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz who believes federal lawmakers do not realize the exposure that exists on this porous international boundary....
That's simply not possible.
There has to be another explanation.
Such high level stupidity should be grounds for impeachment. Ulterior motives are grounds for much worse.
Call Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Chucky (the Jerk) Schumer, Howard (the Fruitcake) Dean, Teddy (the Swimmer) Kennedy, Joe (Diarrhea Mouth) and the rest of their wacko cohorts. They'll be "shocked" to hear that there are actually terrorists in this world and that they're attempting to cross into the United States. Get the Prozac ready, they'll be in complete denial and shock!
I have never seen such a bunch of incompetent leaders as our congress and senate who will sacrifice their consitutents safety for the term 'multiculturalism'.
Thanks for posting. BTTT!
Hopefully, when (not if) several thousand more American Citizens are blown away in ANOTHER attack perpetrated by aliens that are "promoting their culture" we will see some of the @$$holes that promote the open borders at the end of a rope.
And if we are very lucky, it will be a government rope.

Texas Bump!
Court documents filed in Exinia’s case make frequent references to his position in the notorious Gulf Cartel. The paperwork also contains details of a December 2004 incident in which he tried to secure transportation for 20 Middle Eastern “terrorists” waiting to enter the United States from Monterrey, Chiapas and Puebla in Mexico.
But Jorge Arbusto and the Idiotas at La Hacienda Blanco claim he's only doing the job "Americans Won't Do!"...not jobs that the OBL-ers would do!
Recorded telephone conversations authorized under the U.S. Patriot Act and a court order captured the La Feria truck driver referring to the 20 men as “gente de Osama” or “Osama’s people.”
"Nothing to see here....these aren't the Terrorists you're looking for"! Gee Jorge...what jobs in America will these “gente de Osama” be doing that "Americans Won't Do"?
During a Jan. 5, 2005, telephone conversation, Exinia described the men as “Iraqis,” ages 25 to 33, who were willing to pay $8,000 for transportation past Border Patrol checkpoints in South Texas and into the U.S. interior.
Gee...how can such poor "lettuce pickers" afford these rates? Guess I'm in the wrong job "Americans Want To Do", since I cxan't pull off 8G to cross the border illegally!
Exinia mentioned that eight of the men were coming to Progreso, northwest of Brownsville. He said they were “dangerous” and “really bad people.” They carried guns and made the smuggler that was helping them “afraid.”
When narco-terrorists are "afraid" of someone they are smuggling.....
We as voters, have to take responsibility. It seems that people hear information, but get amnmesia when going into the voting booth and keep voting in the same baffoons time after time.
Of course the jerrymandering happening in Ca., has guaranteed all elected officials a lifetime job for as long as they wish to be there.
