Immigration officials have now picked up all but two of the eleven Egyptian exchange students who came to the U-S for a summer course in Montana but never showed up for classes.
U-S Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents tracked three of the students to Des Moines, Iowa, where they were arrested yesterday. Others were picked up earlier in New Jersey, Maryland, Chicago and Minnesota.

Oh yea.
9/11
For a bunch of guys who were supposed be going to school in Montana, they sure are spread out around the country.

Ominous headline on this article. We better catch the 10th guy soon.
That the British hijackers (and the 9/11 hijackers, and these Egypt students perhaps) come to our countries, learn to live with us as neighbors, and still want to kill us all.
In the past, I had assumed that all the hatred in the Middle East was based on ignorance and Anti-American propaganda. But these people have lived amongst us, eaten our hamburgers, and read our newspapers....
Oh yeah. Anti-American propaganda. Never mind.
It's the ones we don't know about that bothers me. I'm sure the other two are being tailed and we're picking them up when we find out their destination. We want to know WHERE they were going and to meet with whom.
I saw it scrolled on the bottom of Fox News this morning and came on here looking for an article about it. I am so tired of the denial by the officials that this could have anything to do with terrorism. The two in Maryland were found at the apartment of the owner of a pizza place where terror-related arrests had taken place before. Something is up.

if I were an agent, I'd be all over Cedar Rapids with a magnifying glass... home of the "mother mosque"....
Maybe they are keeping it hushed up for the investigation purposes. Might be a lot more going on than is indicated.
Perhaps they have already completed their mission. They could have been a middle guy for all we know.
That's exactly what I'm thinking.
I don't understand this mentality that we have to know EVERYTHING. When EVERYTHING is published for EVERYONE to see....
EVERYONE includes those who we're looking for .. and THEY will be more cautious.
One of the things we enjoy is freedom of movement ... they are seemingly taking advantage of that .. but in that freedom they often will be more careless than if they thought they were being watched.
I've noticed, in eye-bleeding googling, that there are, on many muslim sites, 3 or 4 local businesses that they recommend (sympathizers?)
Best guess...3-5 we don't know about yet. They would have already been here...probably at Mosques.
Who's got the picture with the apprehended ones crossed off? There were two or three I just didn't like the looks of.
