The magazine said a truck school executive tipped off the FBI that between 25 and 35 Arab men attended the school in Denver during the past two years. They did not speak English and each group used the same interpreter. Duuhuhhh, I wonder what this means (scratch, scratch on head)?

Isin't that where one of their guys is in a prison in Denver....and they said they were goin to get him out....
To: kattracks
One more reason why the FBI's head of counterintelligence should be fired. Will no one be held accountable?
To: kattracks
How does one take the test at the Registry of Motor Vehicles if one does not speak/read English?

Ashcroft was asked about this today. He shucked and jived. Did the Reno rag: under investigation, we are looking into everything...blah...blah...blah.
Bush is doing great. Ashcroft and Thompson may have to go. Nobody wants to hear this crap. We need people who will either tell us the facts or tell us they can't tell us the facts. Americans respect either. They don't respect song and dance men.

"FBI probing Arab students at Denver truck school"
Anal Probe???

There's a big truck driving school just north of Orlando, Florida right along SR 441 (Orange Blossom Trail) in Lockhart, also. Hope they check that one out, too. LOTS of middle-eastern types are in the Orlando area.

How hard is it to drive a HasMat truck? Why do you need to go to school to do it? If you're going to hijack it, why would you need a hasmat license? Why not send one guy to school and get him to tell the rest? Sounds fishy.

Guliani for AG. After all those miserable years with Reno we need a straight talking kick-a$$ general in charge.

FBI probing Arab students at Denver truck schoolHope they, at least, use KY.

I agree. Ashcroft has been a major disappointment. He doesn't seem to understand that, now that he has the job, he can stop kowtowing to the Senate Democrats. The hearings are over. He's supposed to be working for America, not for Teddy Kennedy.

Good point! Also, why would anyone travel halfway around the world to learn how to drive a truck? Don't other countries have trucks? Do we send people to Singapore to learn how to type?
To: Ben Hecks
Re: questions about learning to drive trucks and hazmat certification - it seems they (mid-easterns) were trying to stay under the radar a bit. Plus, maybe they thought because of what they were carrying they should know how to handle it so they got it where it was going "safely?" Plus, in order to pick up some products, I believe they would have to have all this licensing in order.
To: MadelineZapeezda
It wasn't reported ASAP because they didn't want to stop the cash cow. When they stopped coming they went psst...

Sorry.....I should have added the "sarcasm" tag.
To: kattracks
Hazmat...may not be the angle. These are, in some ways, simple people with an eye toward primitive ways. A fully loaded tractor trailer holds something like 20 to 30 tons of...whatever. Maybe the Class I license is enough.

If you want to find out where the Arab truckers are, just put the word out on the trucker's CB channels, and you can find the exact location of every diaperhead trucker in the country is within an hour. The truckers know EVERYTHING and they're very patriotic!
