I’m sure they had real good reasons.

[P.O.E.]

Muslim remake of “Four Weddings and a Funeral”?

I’m really glad to hear this was a legitimate news story. I had my doubts when it was initially said that police had stopped a “car filled with explosives” but by the time I quit following the story it was down to a ziplock bag.

Obviously the guys were not planning on going fishing with the bombs so I can’t wait to see what comes out at the hearing.

[pissant]

LOL. I’ve always like the funerals caused by “work accidents” while these fools are making their fireworks.

[tubebender]

Those are special...

Who were their references? Who guaranteed their tuition payment? What university was the one on an exchange program with? What has the experience been with exchange students in the past? Do these exchanges get approved by homeland security? Do these foreign students pay extra lucrative tuition? How many credits a semester does a student need to maintain his visa status? I could provide dozens more questions if I was a curious reporter getting paid. Unfortunately, there are no curious reporters any more. What a joke.

Defense attorney says Mohamed and Megahed have a reason for having the devices.....

Which would be?.....to blow something up?

[SlowBoat407]

Defense attorney Dennis Rhoad says Mohamed and Megahed have a reason for having the devices,

And Mohammed Atta had a reason for carrying a box cutter on a plane on 9/11.

Proceed, Mr. Rhoad...

Now we learn there were pipe bombs (as in more than one) and that Mohammad who put the bombs together was the civil engineering graduate student.

Put in Gitmo now.

Univ. of South Fla. was Sami Al Arian’s old college.

“Put in Gitmo now.”

No.

Yours truly,

President John Edwards

Defense attorney Dennis Rhoad says Mohamed and Megahed have a reason for having the devices, but he declined to comment further during their bond hearing.
Both are students at the University of South Florida.

Oh yes!

I remember clearly, now, when I was in college I often had a legitimate need for pipe bombs.
Happened all the time.

Just saying.

[jennyjenny]

I’ve never a reason to have a bomb. What good reasons would one have to have pipe bombs?

The lawyer’s a nice guy too... what do you expect..:^)

Rhoad quits Citadel board after drug arrest

Prominent Charleston lawyer Dennis Rhoad resigned from The Citadel’s governing board Tuesday following his arrest on cocaine charges at a Wentworth Street fraternity house...

"Mohamed admitted he made the pipe bombs from items he bought at Wal-Mart."

Right. That takes a lot of knowlege to do that with chemicals to make nitrates, chlorates, nitro and hydrazine from what you can buy in stores. And the lab glassware to do it. Let's find out some more. The chemicals needed are worse than some meth lab. Very poisonous things.
