I see they caught 3 more middle eastern men (naturalized citizens) with a car full of cell phones today. This bunch is different than the ones they caught the other day.

Drudge has the story.

"Rove is unleashing his dastardly plan" to take attention away from Lamont's win in CT..

At least that's the thinking over at the DU..that this "plot" is nothing more than diverting attention..man, and to think, those people can vote too..:(

Kind of brings credibility to the phrase world wide WOT. Hopefully this will register with the looney left, some of them are undoubtedly on some of the intended planes.

Ban Muzzies from all flights.

Let muzzies ride camels to where they need to get too.

I'm failing to see a problem with this...

(It's finally starting and the world won't be able to ignore it any longer.)

If a plot that actually worked (9/11) was forgotten in only a couple of years, a plot that was avoided will be forgotten by the next news cycle.

Forget jail, Gitmo, or civilian court. Put these scum in a C-130, fly up to 15,000 feet, and make them take a walk.

Bad idea. Have you any idea how much explosives one can conceal in a camel's hump?

Ah. There's the downside. Thanks. I think...

I hope they're interrogating the Egyptian students they found! / wishful thinking

-------------------------------------------

In France (of all places!) anti-terror laws would allow for them to be held and questioned for three weeks w/o a lawyer and held for three years (!) w/o being formally charged.

Is there an Islamic greeting where the response is automatic? Have the security guy under his breath greet each passenger this way and see who responds with any kind of recognization.
