Isn't Yee a "home grown" American?

Yes, but he was an obvious Muslim sympathizer.

[mombonn]

LOL, Fox just did a news alert about it, and there are already 35 comments. FR - the fastestplace to find news!

[mewzilla]

And can we get rid of it? Or them...

[just mimi]

I saw that too. There are hundreds of these CDROMS out there somewhere and everywhere by now. Or more.

An attack on the facility at Gitmo, and the classified documents being whisked away are plans of the site

Well, if they do attack, they better bring some big guns and a lunch, because the Marines down in Gitmo don't play. One of my high buddies went into the Corp and was stationed at Gitmo. When he came back from Gitmo on some leave, he had become one intense, bad a$$ Mother effer. This guy intensely understood his duty and would have carried out his duties with zeal.

Now, here is a scary thought. What if the terrorists were to hook up with a guy like Castro, try to overrun Gitmo and use Cuba as a launching site for an attack on the U.S.?

Scary.

And another one bites the dust.

Remarkable how both Gitmo and Iraq attract the rats and quite encouraging the way the rat exterminators deal with the problem.

He'd be bringing the stuff back to his USA terror cell.

That's where my money is at..I recall a report where most of these extremists are no longer talking on cell, 'net, etc..Their using courier's..

What I am curious of is how many were nabbing that we are not hearing about.

[xzins]

Just curiosity, but do you run non-stop flights to islam land? Is it just a convenience thing, no stops in Spain or Italy, for instance?

Or do they think there's lax security there for some reason?

[CatoRenasci]

The problem is finding the trustworthy teachers who won't be trying to cram them full of islamist propaganda. Not to mention the lack of interest generally in Arabian culture.

[Just mythoughts]

So who is at Gitmo that has got so many so interested in passing info about?

Let us also not forget how much grief the ACLU has given Ashcroft and President Bush about those at GITMO.

Could it be that GITMO has become a "place of interest" that has so many applying to go there? Maybe this is why the all out attempt to slander President Bush and Ashcroft is on the rise, some in Congress have seen the secret files and some dots are being connected.

Hence Clark's appearance, sounding so military and going to save us from ourselves.

Mr. Wilson (a donor of $2,000 to Kerry and donor to another un-named dimwitt liberal running for prez) calling for investigation about law breakers, called his wife a "VICTIM".

Whatever is going on it looks like the liberal "poop" is about to hit the fan and they the liberals do the only thing they know how to do when they are about to be exposed is make false "accusations".

Maybe that is why Putin made his strange comment this past weekend, maybe President Bush opened a few connect the dot files to him.

[Catspaw]

Returning FROM Egypt? Holy crap.

[TomGuy]

What if the terrorists were to hook up with a guy like Castro, try to overrun Gitmo and use Cuba as a launching site for an attack on the U.S.?

Didn't our Federal legislators, in their infinite wisdom (snicker), just recently pass a bill that re-opens travel between the US and Cuba? That's nice. Now, the terrorists can visit from Cuba--if your senerio is accurate.

And those who can't get a plane ticket can swim over to Mexico and come in via the southern US border.

New post says the following:

A PHYSICIAN working as a translator at the U.S. prison camp for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was arrested Tuesday, a federal law enforcement official said. The official, describing the apprehension at Boston's Logan International Airport, identified the suspect as Ahmed Mehalba.

Why would they be trying to stage a breakout of Gitmo prisoners(they are just foot soldiers) unless there is someone is being kept there we don't know about.

[Peach]

Just pinged you to the article now on FR. You were already on it - sorry. Hadn't scrolled down far enough.

[dennisw]

Plenty of Arab Christians in this country. We just have to pay them enough.

They would be a great source for Arabic translators. Our military and intel agencies have special cram programs where linguistically talented people can pick up a new tongue in 6 months. During the Cold War they turned out Russian speakers in 6 months. Even the assimilated children of Arab Christians will make great candidates for such a program and go through it in 3 months.

Heard on FNC .. sounds like this dude was at the airport trying to bug out of town real fast

I wonder how big that net will be and who all is being watched?
