Saleh Al Suwailem remained silent Tuesday as he was led in handcuffs from a U.S. District Court, moments after a judge ordered him held without bond for his admitted June 5 threat to bomb an airplane after the U.S. Army refused to hire him as an interpreter.

U.S. Magistrate G. Mallon Faircloth sent the case against Al Suwailem to the grand jury, which will decide if the Saudi Arabian national should be indicted for making a terroristic threat against an airplane.

"I'll leave that to the discretion of 26 or however many grand jurors may be impaneled," Faircloth said. The grand jury should meet soon, the judge said.

Something does not add up with the Saleh Al Suwailem case. I sure hope they are going to keep an eye on him.

A Saudi national who had been accused of threatening to bomb an airplane has been released from custody after authorities dismissed charges against him.

Perhaps those authorities were out on one of those three cocktail lunches before they made this decision? There can be no other rational reason they would do something as potentially dangerous to American citizens otherwise.

"I'll leave that to the discretion of 26 or however many grand jurors may be impaneled," Faircloth said. The grand jury should meet soon, the judge said.

Add this judge to the list of extremely questionable judges who dole out minimal sentences to child molesters, rapists, and terrorists. Was this judge appointed or elected??????
