[history]
BOSTON (AP) -- Terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden has strong family ties and a group of supporters in Boston, where the two hijacked airliners that demolished the World Trade Center took off.
One of bin Laden's brothers set up scholarship funds at Harvard, while another relative owns six condominiums in an expensive complex in the Charlestown section of Boston. Two bin Laden associates once worked as Boston cab drivers, including one who was jailed in Jordan on charges of plotting to blow up a hotel full of Americans and Israelis.

If anything was posted in the story was false, they could have changed it or ommitted whatever was false.
Or if it was printed in a paper they could post a correction or disclaimer.

We have Harvard University and the corrupt Boston office of the FBI.. Naah, there's no possibility of the USA being sold out by that duo!
To: t-shirt
The FBI has known all this before so why didn't they look into this and act more before?
Because as a people, we have scrutinized and basically disabled our government. Had anything been done previously, groups all over the country would have been screaming "Racial profiling!!!" I think this is where political correctness has bit us in the butt. I think it's time to let the government do it's job. I know there is corruption, but this is not the time to root it out. If we don't support our government now, we may not have OUR government to support later.

The FBI couldn't find their way out of a piss-soaked paper bag.
Tipping off mobsters(whitey Bulger), letting high level moles operate(Hansson) and ignoring calls from serial killers(Sampson) doesn't really impress me.

Give these statist thugs hell in regards to tbeatty and the other Fed apologist MJY1288. I too am not beholding to a criminal government. It is the actions of this criminal government that we are reaping whats been sown in our name.
We should have listened to the SAGE wisdom of JFK and kept a NEUTRAL attitude in the ME. We havent and now this....

Re: IPS (#4)
Wonder why we haven't been told anything about the raid on the Arab computer/internet services provider in Richardson, Texas, last week.

#28: RLK's ZT article? More info, please.

Thanks for the flag. I think in the days to come we'll find many more things that the FBI should have known. I just wish I could be convinced that they didn't know.

Do you have any details or even a local story on it?
Perhaps it is not widely reported because like this story it would show facts that would make the FBI look bad?

FBI RAIDS DALLAS AREA ARAB INTERNET OFFICE
To: cdwright
"Your argument says, 'Oops, can't say that. Can't say they look like Arabs. That's racial profiling.' As if the fact that they were Arabs had nothing to do with what was going on."
Actually, I didn't argue against anything. I was making a statement on what defines racial profiling.
Please don't put words in my mouth.
