This, as well as the artwork showing the airplane crash in the WTC, makes me think that a SIZABLE portion of the (hereto assumed) innocent arabic community, has been "in the know" about the effort to destroy the USA. I fear that the reports of this knowledge will become more and more numerous...

What artwork are you referring to?

Afterward, the agents tried to question their father, who chastised them for harassing his children, they said.

Isn't that peachy? 5,000+ people dead, his son knew about it beforehand (apparently), and he says the agents are harassing his children? Will someone please be kind enough to pinch me and wake me up? Or wake everybody else up?

Medved discussed this on his show today. It is fascinating. It appears that we may have been so deeply asleep that even the "loose lips" of these people didn't squander their plans. It does place the "Arab" (wrong term, I know) community here in a very bad place -- the plan being more widely known than previously thought in that community. And yet none stepped up to alert anyone to it.

Police sources said that, after the interviews, the boy's father left for Pakistan. After his departure, investigators conducted a second interview with the boy and his mother, who told them that her son was having psychological problems.

Why did his dad gone back to Pak land and why do we let mentally crack pots come to America????/

A couple of weeks ago, a guy called Bob Brinker's radio program and said that he remembered someone with an accent called Bob Brinker and predicted that the stock market would fall on September 11th. They were going to research their logs to verify this. Did anyone hear if anything came of that?

I wonder why none of those "patriotic Arab Americans" who knew of the pending attack didn't report it to the FBI?

Could it possibly be true that some of them were cheering inside when the attack happened?

What do you think?

We have too damn many of these people in this country. Ann Coulter was right to recommend repatriation of non-citizens of middle eastern origin.

Like the Indian who picked up the frozen snake and let it thaw in his pocket and was bitten as a reward. We must be careful of befriending snakes.

They said the comment came in the midst of a heated political discussion the student was having with his teacher in an English class for Arab-American students.

I'd like to know what other anti-American crap was going on in that class.

[freedom9]

There were thousands of people worldwide that were aware of the impending attacks.

[MrFred]

There have also been reports of how few arab street vendors there seemed to be around the WTC on the morning of the attack. It sure seems like the Arab world in the US knew something was going to happen.

Police sources said that, after the interviews, the boy's father left for Pakistan.

Hello? Are they following him over there? Wouldn't it be natural to consider the father as a very likely source of this info? I would think they should have thoroughly interrogated the entire family.

I really hope America doesn't literally kill itself by being too PC.

Apparently a middle schooler in Texas informed his teacher that "World War III will start tomorrow (Sept. 11) and the United States will lose." The boy has been withdrawn from school. A woman I work with said her niece's friend (a Muslim woman and well known to my co-worker for years) told her not to travel to NYC on Sept. 11. The niece called the FBI and reported the conversation after the attack. Her Muslim friend and her family are no longer in the area. A Muslim doctor at St. Joseph's Hospital in Paterson, NJ, laughed when he heard of the attack. A nurse reported him to the FBI. A lot of people knew about this.

FYI.

[Physicist]

Yeah, right. A sizeable portion of 10 million people were in on it, and everybody but two schoolkids managed to keep their mouths shut.

What nonsense.

It sounds to me like you're trying to stir people up against Americans of Arab descent. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[alithia]

I think a kid drew the artwork after the fact. But why didn't they question the teacher?

[alithia]

The Afghani refugees in Europe were even more than usual in the month before the attack as well.Even the inefficient Greeks were catching at least one shipload a day.

I am having difficulty digesting a comment made to my brother by a guy from Yemen. He told my brother last night that his brother was on one of the hijacked planes. Whether or not he meant as a passenger or terrorist, I do not know. I DO know that the "missing" brother was supposed to have taken a trip to NY a few days before the attacks, or so I was told by this guy. Funny thing is that he has not displayed any signs of grieving over a lost brother.
