Also note that he was flying in from Indonesia. There has been a lot of activity there recently.

He is a foriegn national, Muslim, probably Arab (judging from his name), with a wife in the Airline business. He's carrying around 12 million in fraudulent checks.

Sounds like the question to one of Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a [terrorist] if" routine.

At least they admitted the Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating case. I don't even think we got that much with the LAX incident.

'cause then there wouldn't be any wage slaves around to pay the taxes. You knew that, I'm sure....

Beats me. Who knows what the plan was. He must have had some sort of contact in Indonesia.

Excellent question. Where indeed?

So he fits a terrorist profile, but I can't figure out what this guy is up to. Can you?

Can't you read. this is from the next to the last paragraph

Shishani, of Dearborn, said at his arraignment Thursday that he is a naturalized U.S. citizen and a salesman who hasn't earned any commissions this year. He said his wife is a resident alien from Japan who works for Northwest Airlines.

Where does it say he is a foreign national?

The $12 million, broken down that way, could be used for a one time buy of something from someone, but I'd guess those checks would be useless at a bank anywhere.

O.K. Kaslin, nice catch, hopefully you are as disturbed by the propaganda and fabrication of radical Islamists hellbent on destroying our society as you are by my mistake in responding to this post...why don't you show some proportionality in your response and comment on the content of the article buddy.
