I just read some mundane info on the 2 NJ guys. They said when they came out of the bathroom the rest of the group was gone. So they went to an old neighbor (from Egypts home) in NJ Sam Abolata instead who owns a restaurant, Mia Sorella's.

I don't get it, how how hard is it to get on an airplane once in the airport?

Interrogate the shit out of them.

Tell 'em that unless they start talking, there's a very small cell waiting for them at Guantanamo - with a non-halal diet too.

These "students" owe us some answers - NOW!

They were here for just a summer course, no less. Considering that the summer is almost over, you'd think they'd try to get to Montana on time!

As I understand it, these guys were nailed because schools are now required to report foreigners who are no-shows for the classes their visas were issued for. Remember how the academics, shortly after 9/11, were complaining and objecting to these new reporting requirements? As it is, we're still having to play "where's bin Laden" with these guys, but at least we KNOW they're missing and not just waiting until they crash a plane to realize that maybe their "student" status is bogus.

Let us suppose that the World's billion Muslims were allowed neither visas nor immigration to the U.S. Would that be so bad?

More to the point, it makes us question anything the FBI says. Does anyone who has knowledge of the fauxtography coming out of the ME believe anything from Reuters or AP anymore? Soon the Feebs will be in the same boat.

Probably only 2 of the 11 were terrorists, with the other 9 being camouflage to have us surmise that this group is okay.

That was just for their passport pictures. I bet they are really scowling for their mug shots.

The Federal guvment should skip the politically correct crap and start profiling as a means of screening people, including airline passengers.

It is neglegent, IMHO, to continue to allow individuals from terrorist supporting countries (arab or muslim countries) to enter our country, or stay if already here. Send them all home, for good.

Agreed! We don't want anyone in this country named Mohammed or Ali. Unless their given name was Cassius Clay.

The dreadfully liberal colleges are desperate for out of country tuition.

We are not producing enough students for them. The birth rate is down and the colleges expanded, their answer is to court these foreign students.

I am feeling a little better after reading the article about the first two picked up. I found another article where they interviewed the family of one of the missing. That article said the 'students' paid over $4000 each for the trip and the class. The father of one of the 'students' indicated that he thought his son might stay and look for work and that it cost over $1000 in bribes to land a janitorial job in Egypt so the $4000 to have an opportunity to make it in the US did not seem out of line. Both the father and the sister said they knew if was wrong but that their son/brother was not looking to harm the United States. I am feeling better about this...but I still will be glad when they catch the last two.

Yikes. WHY WHY WHY is this not on the front page of every newspaper and the lead story on the evening news? This is some scary stuff.

Don't feel too much better until you take a look at this.

Yes.

According to some sources, Cedar Rapids is the home of the first Islamic mosque in North America.

Where do you guys think the last two will be caught?

Because they've been popping up in the strangest places.
