I realize there have been a number of posts this morning regarding this situation. This is an update.

The men arrived in New York on July 29, and almost immediately disappeared. The FBI issued the nation-wide alert on the 5th of August.

I think they might've went to Connecticut to volunteer for the LaMont campaign?

Okay, I have a question and I apologize if it has already been addressed.

Last week we had Ayman al-Zawahri claiming good news that the Al-Jamaa Al-Islamiya of Egypt had joined forces.

Just yesterday though, Al-Islamiya denied vehemently the validity of that statement.

all fine and dandy, till you read of these missing Egyptians.

One now has to question the timing of all of this, no?

Any thoughts?

What good are those Egytian's names going to do us? You can be certain they are operating on bogus docs now. How about their passport photo's?

I'm into conspiracies...sometimes. Is there a possibility that there is a connection between these missing Egyptians and the large purchases of cell phones in Virginia?

I dunno. Just to put this in perspective, 9 or 10 days might mean its just a poorly planned spur of the moment roadtrip. The kind college students are notorious for making.

On the other hand, better safe than sorry. And this could be 9/11 all over again in the works.

I see they are still picking the younger stupid ones to carry out their stuff.

One of the most amazing things I've ever heard of is that they recruit these guys, dope them up on some drug or another (heroin was a favorite) and then cut these guys loose.

Just posted in the last 15 minutes on the Montana State University website:

MSU still missing 11 Egyptian exchange students

August 08, 2006 -- by Annette Trinity-Stevens, MSU News

Montana State University still has not heard from 11 Egyptian students due to arrive last week for a cultural exchange program on the Bozeman campus.

"At this point, we have no information about what has happened to these students and cannot speculate. We are doing everything we can to work with the federal authorities," said MSU spokeswoman Cathy Conover.

The 11 students from Mansoura University in Cairo are part of a group of 17 students who were expected to travel to Montana from a connection at JFK airport on July 29. Only one student arrived in Montana July 29, another student arrived July 30, and four students arrived July 31.

Norm Peterson, MSU's vice provost for international education, said it's not uncommon for foreign students to arrive in Bozeman later than expected, owing to the sometimes lengthy process of getting through Immigration Services. However, this is the first time foreign students have failed to arrive within a few days of their scheduled date of arrival.

MSU reported the 11 remaining students as "no shows" Aug. 3 to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. Known as SEVIS, the system is the official database maintained by the Department of Homeland Security.

The FBI issued a nationwide alert for the students Aug. 5, according to MSU police chief Robert Putzke.

The 17 students, all male, are between the ages of 18 and 22.

They were scheduled to participate in a 32-day program of English as a Second Language classes at MSU plus lectures on various cultural topics. In addition to academic work, the program includes a number of cultural/recreational activities, including a trip to nearby Yellowstone National Park.

The program, in its first year, was developed in cooperation with Mansoura University, a comprehensive public university with about 13,000 students.

The students were selected by Mansoura University. MSU provided the certificate of eligibility, verifying that the program is a legitimate academic program. The students traveled to the U.S. on F1 student visas.

The six students who arrived at MSU are beginning the program and are doing well, according to Conover.

"This is a valuable program, like other international programs, not only to our campus, but our community as well," Conover said. "We want the six who are here to have a rich and rewarding experience before returning home."

Six of the eleven Egyptian students who have gone dark, have Mohamed as part of their name.
There should be a computer program that based on recorded acts of terrorism,murder and sniping, can predict the odds of a person, bearing the name Mohamed,of committing an act of terrorism.

Umm....

An FBI advisory says there are, at present, no known connections to any terrorist group but that the students are to be "approached with caution" and taken into custody"shot on sight by patriotic, gun carrying Americans.".

I will quote Rush Limbaugh from about a week ago:

"I was a fool to believe them when they told us we are fighting a war on terror."

I will ask a relevant question, and I would appreciate thoughtful (not kneejerk) responses from those who care to answer it.

HYPOTHETICALLY:

IF these men are terrorists and are discovered to have pulled off a terrorist attack, who will receive the most blame from the general public: the Democrats, the Republicans, or the Bush administration?

The jig is up, they're moving out...da da dada daaaa daaaa...

This is going to play out in one of two ways...

Senario Number One:

They are going to be gradually found in either small groups of two or three, or roaming singly...

All will be very confused, scared and grateful to be alive in this hostile environment, and we Americans should be ashamed of assuming they are terrorists hell bent on killing Americans...And they will be treated like kings when they are able to get back to their studies...The charges of violating their student visa's will be dropped, and this story will die on the vine...

Why?

Because we all heard about it in one way shape or form, and thats about as good as got these days...

Is this a good thing???

I doubt it, because I bet there are a few we have missed that will never make the news, or the ones already here are ready to go...Just waiting on the next Al Jazzerra broadcast giving those folks the "go" code...

Or?

We won't find them in time, and its too late to stop whatever it is they are going to do...

Flip a coin, either way we lose...

I'm sucha sarcastic negative nancy these days...

Yawn...Time for another nap...

I'll bet 10 out of the 11 Egyptians have "Mohammed" as part of their names.

(.........the eleventh will have "Achmed Skyhook" in his name)
