Add this 'diverse' guy to their banner.MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- State officials say an investigation uncovered no evidence that a camp near Marion was used as a terrorist training camp.
Wednesday night, ABC News said the camp could have possible ties to Osama bin Laden's terror network.
A Tuscaloosa man operates the Marion Camp, called Ground Zero USA.
Marion Police Chief Tony Buford said he was misquoted. Buford said the camp is used by police officers from Alabama and Louisiana for training that includes target practice.
NBC News first reported in December that a man with alleged Al-Qaida ties, named Zain Ul Albidin, was arrested in Great Britain. Albidin alleged that terrorists trained in the camp in Marion.
A spokesman for Gov. Don Siegelman and Department of Public Safety officials said they are aware of the reports. But after conducting background investigations of the site they found no reason to be concerned.
The camp made news again Wednesday because Albidin is being questioned in connection with the terror attacks of Sept. 11.
The Chief says much of the information being reported by the media is incorrect.
From the scroll at the bottom of the MSNBC screen, Police are not clear if Montgomery AL shooting is connected to DC sniper.
Yes indeedie. Last night, Aaron "Errin'" Brown looked as though he were covering his daughter's funeral on CNN's Newsnight - wincing every time he was forced to:
1. Say the name Muhammed;
2. Show the "pic' o' th' perp";
3. Describe the suspect as a BLACK and a MUSLIM.
CNN, for a while, seemed to have a policy of ALWAYS ID'ing the warrantee as "Williams" first and "Muhammed" second. By this morning, that policy, wisely, has been reversed.
I can't wait to see the post-mortems on the rest of the nets today. They were all gearing up for a MAJOR MAJOR push against Southern red-neck crazed Republican NRA members.

The reverse profiling is sickening. I am so glad that they have to eat crow this morning. The fact thta most news sources are backing away from AQ or other terror group connections is still bothersome though. I mean c'mon, the guy converted to Islam and there are reports out of Seatle that they were sympathetic to the 911 Hijackers. Need more proof CNN???
I even hear WOR Radio in NY this moring refer to the guy as John Williams. He changed his name to Muhamad when he converted to Islam. Please report the facts.
Add this 'diverse' guy to their banner.Eeew. Fingerprints are one thing, but DNA? I hope they are referring to a hair or two.
Now we know, this is NOT a terrorist training camp.
It sounds like an agenda to me. Democrat donors?
I'm soooo glad this turned out to be a left wing muslim sympathizer (like Dashole who is anti-American security).
CNN was just spewing the "white gun toten militia guy" crap, wasn't it? They look like fools right now. I like it!
