Psychic huh?

LOL! It's all that math and science I took... You know, 2+2=4.

Sorry for the late answer; I took out time to watch the Prez on C-span. (Senator Byrd must be spitting nails...heh heh)

Arab male, death by security guard while taking out as many innocents as possible, note saying "read Koran", direct assault on Israeli target, possible bomb making materiel and notes on other targets ... = ... Hate Crime ... = .... Terror Lite IMHO.

Either this guy was connected and doing the martyr thing in an effort to test response and poitentially mark LARGE targets (ie. the huge crowd outside the terminal after the evacuation), or he was a single Arab guy that decided it was time for his own personal Jihad. Either way, call it a hate crime if the FBI will, it as an act of terror IMHO.

Are you pretty sure you heard it right? Because if this turns out to be true, this will indeed be a much bigger story....

We were in line to get some of LAX's diverted flights from Mexico. They did not come, so I don't know were they went.

No worries, the DoJ and FBI don't either.

There are no more than 50-100,000 of these fellows running around -- 200,000, tops.

That's very comforting. Thanks.

This crap is only going to get worse from here on out. I truly wonder if there will come a time when the people stand up and demand meaningful action from our inept government, or if we will just learn to live with our people being slaughtered as an everyday occurrence the way it is in Israel. What do ya'll think?

Here are some things off the top of my head...

Testing the defenses of airports outside the security perimeter? Particularly ticket counter?

Lone nut with a grievance against Israel?

Chain of command among cells has broken down?

None of the above

If it's just a hate crime, does he still get the full allotment of virgins?

It'll get worse before it the feds decide to do anything useful. We must get these people out of the USA and secure the borders.

"Either way, what do you wanna bet, a lot of Orange County Egyptians will be taking leaves-of-absence next week?"

LOL, I will continue looking for an article that will clear this up. I hope he wasn't on the FBI watch list, The FBI has been beaten up a lot since Daschle and Gephardt started pointing fingers.

Yep, KABC 7 said the guy was on FBI watch list.

Either way, it's a big story. Think about it...

What's the FBI's excuse for not having the perp on their watch list?

What's our excuse for not expelling all Moslem non-citizens back in September? Why are we letting the sleepers nap?

KFWB 980 reports perp's wife and kids are in Egypt... FBI trying to locate other family.

FBI says they don't know whether this is "terrorism." ...In full redefinition-of-terms mode.

That might be a LOL if it wasn't so serious.

To him, I imagine it doesn't matter what the FBI calls it after the fact ... whether he gets his "prize" or burns in hell (my money is on #2) what the FBI calls it will not matter now.

Hate Crime in this instance = Terror Lite.
