...but our open border is still a good idea right?
..."recovered "dozens of foreign passports," including several American passports"
This can't be. The war is over...we have lost....
Boy I sure hope Kerry or Nelson were not there.
At least these folks went off to fight the war instead of staying here and complaining on the evening news that the US wasn't doing anything to help them.
US citizens (muslims) in Somalia, Australian citizen (muslim)in Iraq, I don't care where they go, as long as they GO! Meanwhile, I can't help but wonder, who pays their travel expenses? Does the imam dip into the 'charity' box at the mosque?
Aussie arrested in Iraq

AN Australian citizen has been arrested by coalition forces in Iraq on suspicion of conspiring to commit terrorist acts.
Warya Kanie, 39, an Iraqi Kurd, came to Australia about three years ago with his young daughter as part of the humanitarian refugee program to join his three brothers, who were already living in Adelaide.
Mr Kanie, who had divorced his wife, was living in a housing trust apartment on unemployment benefits and receiving additional benefits as a single father.
A member of the Australian Iraqi community, who spoke to The Weekend Australian on condition of anonymity, said Mr Kanie was a Sunni and "had extremist views".
Mr Kanie left Adelaide about seven months ago, after gaining Australian citizenship, telling his family that he was going to look for a new wife in Iraq.
But he allegedly told a friend that he was leaving Australian "to go on jihad".
Mr Kanie is alleged to have been staunchly opposed to the occupation of Iraq and supported terrorist acts against Western forces and Iraqis co-operating with them.
Sharif Ali bin Hussein, imam of the Marion Road mosque in Adelaide's southern suburbs where Mr Kanie is thought to have worshipped, denied through an interpreter knowing him.
Mr Kanie travelled to Jordan with his daughter, whom he left with his sister before going on to the Iraqi capital, Baghdad...

Tell me again why the Democrats want to prevent Bush from eavesdropping on known foreign terrorists making phone calls in to the U.S...
wonder if they found their student visas on them as well.
Looks like we lost another one, woohooo!
Combat death in Somalia
January 06, 2007
AN Australian, believed to be a Muslim, has been killed fighting in war-torn Somalia.
The Melbourne man, 25, is thought to have died late last month during skirmishes with Ethiopian troops.
The Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed the death yesterday. "Consular officials have been in touch with the man's family in Australia who confirm that the man was killed fighting in Somalia, but the circumstances are unclear," a spokesman said.
"Australia has no diplomatic mission in Somalia and it is difficult to provide consular services."
Christian-led Ethiopia invaded Somalia last month to drive fundamentalist Islamists from power. The Islamists have since urged foreign Muslim fighters to join their "holy war".

know nothing... Nothing you understand!Get their names and addresses and cross reference them with voter registrations.
How many do you think were registered Republicans?
Accusing these people of conspiracies just because they have passports is "worse than the atrocities at Gitmo."
Boo hoo-hoo, etc.
Well this is not good. People need to understand that the enemy is trying to kill us. We are at war, and they will not listen to reason. After all, we have been out of Somalia for over 13 years.
Those are some "Americans" that won't have to worry about panties on their head in gitmo.
