This is really bugging me, shouldn't we at least be considering that these swarthy males are up to no good?

There should be vicious dogs protecting sites like this... dogs with pig blood on their snouts.

Everyone who buys a new video recorder run out to their local water filtration plant to record it--don't they?

A previous news story, that I saw here on FR this morning, said they were Muslim, now this one says Indian - looks like we can't profile and we'll just have to wait and see because I do NOT want to be called a bigot by the National Organization for Men of Indeterminate Ethnic or Religious Backgrounds Who Love Videotaping Public Infrastucture...

The problem is, what legal prescedent is there for keeping them in custody?

You should be in the FBI, it seems that our wonderful police and FBI agents aren't smart enough to realize that the names Ahmed and Hassan are Islamic names.
For the information of our law enforcement authorities Pakistan and Bangladesh were once part of India and became separate countries after Indian independence. Many Muslims went to these new Islamic countries, but many also stayed in India, they are perfect Trojan horses to send to the U.S. for terrorist actions.

merely filming an opportune terrorist target....the crap is wearing thin. i know when i go on vacation, i always climb up several hundred foot structures, marked no trespassing, and film the nondescript, bland objects. >sarcasm, for the literary impaired.

Is it too uch to ask for, to have our water supplies protected? electrical fences, motion detectors, rednecks with shotguns.....anything ?
To: codebreaker
...shouldn't we at least be considering that these swarthy males are up to no good?If I understand your question, I think someome did. They were arrested wern't they? Apparently the were able to convince police that they meant no harm. And as far as I know, no Indians (from India) have committed terrorist acts against America.

Didn't notice Islamic names. A wary eye should be kept on them. And if their "papers are not in order" ve muss schnell deporten them.

There is really no legal precedent and that is a problem.
