Forty-eight hours before tonight's ceremony opening the 2002 Winter Olympics, federal agents arrested a former Iraqi soldier who last July was cited for trespassing at Mountain Dell Reservoir, an important source of drinking water for Salt Lake City residents.

oops. here.

[Poohbah]

After his arrest, he made "threats toward America" and repeatedly spat on the dashboard of the Salt Lake County deputy sheriff's vehicle, according to court documents.

Note to self: if I ever get arrested, try not to ACT guilty.

[KateUTWS]

Did the S.L. Tribune insert the cryptic "peoples" in their title?
Not THIS peoples, no way!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Quick !
Put in a call to the International Red Cross.

[Lion's Cub]

And David Tubbs, the former FBI agent coordinating Olympic security planning, said the trespassing incident "is so inconsequential that we didn't feel the need to keep track of it."
Tubbs was livid on Wednesday because he had not been alerted to federal prosecutors' decision to seek the indictment.

sneaking through bushes near the shore of the reservoir

"Yep, we was just out there birdwatching....fishing...strolling along the beautiful beach...uh, we made a wrong turn and got lost--we were actually looking for the 7-11 store."

just a nasty habit i developed. surprisingly, their leftist slant isn't so obvious in this article.

otoh, their "reporter" greg burton sounds more and more like carvile lately.

[freedomson]

Jwad Hassan, Samuel al-Bazoni and Sadik al-Zamil.

Yep. just three regular all-american guys who like to fish.

[Lion's Cub]

See #7.

strolling along the beautiful beach

the dam (where these tourists apparently were arrested) is nestled between the i-80 freeway and
some pretty sheer mountainside in parley's canyon. there is no beach to speak of, and it's well posted and mostly fenced.

it is not a sightseer kinda area.

[Freeper 007]

The officer led them back to his car and began writing al-Zamil a citation, Hassan said. When al-Bazoni argued for a warning instead, the deputy ticketed all three -- which angered al-Bazoni, Hassan said.

When al-Bazoni refused to sign his ticket or agree to appear in court, the deputy radioed for additional officers, who handcuffed al-Bazoni's hands behind his back......

The irony is, this loser doesn't see just how simple this whole thing could have been. Assuming for a moment that he is just a hot head and not a terrorist.... If he had just shut his mouth then his friend would have gotten a ticket, and the whole matter would have been over. You just don't argue with the cops because you will never win. If you have to argue, save your breath for the judge where you have some glimmer of hope and no chance of racking up more trouble.

I was always taught that when you got pulled over by a cop, the only correct responses were: "Yes sir, No sir and I'm real sorry sir." :- )

[TBall]

Hopefully the feds have been watching this guy very closely for the last few months.

Iraqi Military Officers in OKC and Lincoln

As made known to the CIA, were the following, among other details: That George Herbert Walker Bush, as President, at the close of the Persian Gulf War, 1991, arranged to bring into the U.S. some four thousand Iraqi military officers, some from intelligence units, and their families. Some 550 of these officers became residents in Lincoln, Nebraska, AND TWO THOUSAND OF THEM took up residence in Oklahoma City. In a watered down story, CBS' "60 Minutes" Program did a segment once on this about Lincoln, Nebraska but said NOTHING about the Iraqi military officers in Oklahoma City. The financial and other provisions for them and their families were arranged by the Elder Bush, and then quietly continued by Bill Clinton as President, and perpetuated by George W. Bush as White House "resident" and "occupant". The arrangements included financial subsidies, housing, and employment for the Iraqi officers

From Seattle Post 2-1-2002

Federal agents yesterday raided the home and business of an Iraqi American man who has claimed that Bank of America discriminated against him by trying to close his account because of post-Sept. 11 terrorist concerns. Hussain Alshafei of Edmonds settled with the bank Wednesday. In a twist surely unforeseen by Alshafei, however, the publicized filing of the federal civil rights suit also sparked an investigation by the U.S. Customs Service, which searched his home and Mountlake Terrace wire-transfer business yesterday. Authorities claim that by wiring more than $14 million in two of the past three years to Jordan and other countries -- money that mostly ended up in Iraq -- Alshafei violated the Iraqi Sanctions Act and other laws implemented a decade ago prohibiting any money transfers to that country's government or its people. "

.........................................

Alshafei is a political refugee from Iraq who fled Saddam Hussein's dictatorship in 1994, and became a U.S. citizen in 2000.
