...there are no threats, no plots and no history leading us to believe there is any reason for concern

As I recall before 9/11 there was no history of anyone flying planes into buildings either.

Home school. Even if you can't read yourself, they'd get a better education from you than they do now, and they'll live to tell about it.

Sooner or later children will die.

Then the muslim community will whine "he was such a nice boy, must be mentally ill" blah blah

[poobear]

Can you imagine the day when all over America, terrorists blow just ONE bus up in the school bus lines and kill hundreds if not thousands at each school all over the nation? This isn't just terrorism. This is freaking war!

OK, back to my serendipity. Nothing to worry about. All hail the Democrats! After all, they care about "the children".

[Arrowhead1952]

You sure this isn't from Scrappleface???

[rbg81]

Yeah, it would be something if 100 buses full of kids where deliberately crashed in synchronization if different parts of the country. If that happened, and officials knew about it (which they seem to), then someone should be drawn and quartered.

BESLAN! you FBI fools.

Stories like this make it very hard to abide by FR's "no profanity" rules...

Members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States, counterterror officials said Friday...An FBI spokesman said "parents and children have nothing to fear.

Rule number one from the PC liberal handbook on combatting terrorists is: "Don't Connect the Dots!"

Rule number two: "If Something Happens as a result of NOT Connecting the Dots, it is the Evil Conservatives Fault."

Members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States, counterterror officials said Friday, in a cautionary bulletin to police. An FBI spokesman said "parents and children have nothing to fear."

WHAT!!!!!

[gridlock]

We all know that Muslim Terrorist would never deliberately attack schoolchildren...

How could these people have forgotten Beslan already?

Paging Chuck Norris.

[Darkwolf377]

I can't believe you people. Okay, so they're members of extremist groups, and they're signing up to drive school buses. Well, extremists gotta eat, too, right? While they're planning terrorist activities, they have to go under cover so the FBI can't find them, so, really, the SAFEST thing is to have extremists driving our school busses as cover--I mean, they're not gonna BLOW their cover by blowing up a bus or taking kids hostage, right? So this is a GOOD thing.

Like my DUmmie impression? :D

[anymouse]

Does the NEA qualify as an "extremist group?" :) They seem to be doing a good job of terrorizing our kids.

[concerned about politics]

Members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers .........."there are no threats, no plots and no history leading us to believe there is any reason for concern"

Did they change the meaning of the word "extremist" now, too? Could some one please tell me what the new and improved PC definition is?

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Sounds like another inability to connect the dots. Before 9/11 we had a lot of information, we just couldn't connect the dots. If they give us enough information, maybe we can help the F.B.I. draw a whole picture.

[fanfan]

Ping!

[La Enchiladita]

In my neighborhood, ALL school bus drivers are terrorists... in fact, all DRIVERS around here are terrorists..... er, extremists.

Anyway, crazy dangerous killers, that's what they are...!!!

[SE Mom]

What absolute tripe.

PLUS- we have a new word to describe these people.."extremists"....If they're EXTREMISTS- why would they be granted a license to drive a SCHOOL bus? If they're just normal foreigners making a living- why call them extremisits? WTH?!

[taxesareforever]

"Most attempts by foreign nationals in the United States to acquire school bus licenses to drive them are legitimate."

Ah, doesn't that make everyone feel so much better? How many loaded school buses would have to be blown up before this statement was changed?
