Reno's people are hiring Arabs. How 'diverse' of them.

Uncle Janet is a domestic terrorist.

Agents have been conducting 24-hour surveillance on at least four South Florida men with Arab names who may be suspects in the case, officials said. The information about the plot was based on a tip from a jailed confidential informant that the men were trying to contract someone to drive a truckload of explosives to Tallahassee and blow up the governor.

CAIR will claim profiling, no doubt.

When are they going to send all these people back

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI are investigating a possible terrorist plot to kill Gov. Jeb Bush with a truck bomb in Tallahassee, law enforcement officials confirmed Thursday.

"There we go again, outlawing nouns when we should only be outlawing verbs. Since when don't Arab terrorists have a 1st Amendment right to speak of nefarious and insidious plots in the privacy of their own compounds? And what's so wrong with building a trunk bomb? Doesn't the military have bombs? And what's so wrong with private individuals doing the same? Armaments are there for the violent overthrow of the government, so the firefight must be equal or greater on the part of the individual. Otherwise there is tyranny, and no one is free. We are at that awkward stage, between open revolt and crabby speech. Can't we just not be judgmental about other people's morality? Who's to say they are wrong and others are right? Aren't they just targeting jack-booted thugs? Let them do what they want to, so long as they don't hurt me." -Wally Wackjob

I bet the intellegence officers in Florida were not investigating the folks over at "Shady Meadows Retirement Home" they were investigating "Middle Eastern Muslim Extremest"

Hats off to Florida Law Enforcement,

God Bless and watch over the President and his Family

This guy on FOX just made an astute observation -- that these terrorists would love to get GW, and one way to hurt him would be to harm his brother -- our fab FL gov. Thank gosh he's OK!

Thanks for the ping.

Over here.

The truck did not contain explosives but bomb-sniffing dogs alerted to the presence of possible traces of bomb-making materials. The truck was seized for further examination.

Anonymous informant, leads to stop where no evidence is found, leads to seized property. A corrupt government lab worker, which there are many, could easily find trace amounts of bomb material. Without any real evidence this is so far very sketchy.

Thanks, HRAWH!

Massive raghead internments NOW!!!

You forgot to mention, these people were just defending themselves against the infidels oppression!

".. no evidence is found.."

Not correct.
