Questioned.

Questioned?

He tried to enter a US embassy with a backpack full of explosives, and he was carrying Islamic literature. What kind of "questioning" is necessary here?

Probably got lost on his way to return the grenades to.... the grenade store. That’s it. No connection to terrorism.

No doubt he was just a college student traveling on his way to a beach in North Carolina, and he was merely carrying fireworks, and not explosives... No harm, no foul, right?

No. Just fireworks that look a lot like grenades.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I would call it a duck.

Officials said the backpack was found to contain two hand grenades, nails and Islamic literature.

Darned Quakers.

Police investigate a backpack that contained hand grenades, nails and Islamic literature, near the U.S. embassy in Vienna, Monday, Oct. 1, 2007. They arrested a man, described only as a 42-year-old Bosnia native who now lives in the province of Lower Austria, after he was seen dropping the bag and fleeing on foot. (AP Photo/Hans Punz)

I do not know what tree I would be, perhaps a Pecan (a nut) (I’m a Texan). The SAP in the article was looking for a “Wandering Jew plant” so he could leave a “Weeping Widow” as a result of his terrorist attack. He failed.

the question is: which is more dangerous?

I thought of these real quick;

Where did you get the explosives?

How many are in your group and what are there names? Where are they now? What are they doing now? Do they plan more attacks

Who is your leader? Who is your Imam?

What is your country of origin?

What was your plan?

Where did you train?

Who trained you?

What did they train you to do?

Who built the bombs?

Why did you want to kill Americans?

I can probably think of more.

Not to disagree, but Corn is a Joke, a Nut is a Nut. Paul does qualify as the latter as well as the former.

A Bosnian native with Islamic literature, huh? Probably just somebody who wanted to thank the Clintons for saving his clan from extermination.
