You find a few cockroaches means you have a much larger hidden infestation.

Some serious "raid"ing needs to be happening.

Military Translator Detained At Logan Airport

Man Allegedly Carrying Classified Documents "BOSTON -- A man was taken into custody at Logan International Airport Monday while allegedly carrying what appeared to be classified documents.

The man is a former translator at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba, where the U.S. government has been holding suspected terrorists ABC News reported.

NewsCenter 5's Gail Huff reported that the man, identifed as Ahmed Mahaba, was returning from Egypt Monday morning when customs agents and Homeland Security workers conducted a random search and allegedly discovered that Mahaba had CD ROMS and other documents which appeared to contain classified information about the Guantanamo military base.

According to government officials, after the request for a search, Mahaba began to act nervously and officials discovered the classified information about the prison camp. Mahaba denied the documents were his, but Tuesday law enforcement and miliary officials are scrambling to figure out how far reaching security breaches may be at Guantanamo.

Mahaba's arrest follows the recent detention of Army Capt. Yousef Yee, a Muslim Chaplain, and the arrest of an Air Force translator, Senior Airman Ahmad I. al-Halabi, amidst suspicions they may have been spying for Syria. Al-Halabi, 24, was sent to the Cuban base as an Arabic language interpreter for the al-Qaida and Taliban suspects there. Al-Halabi has now been charged with espionage for allegedly e-mailing information about the camp to an unspecified "enemy".

Yee is being held in Charleston, S.C. Al-Halabi is detained at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. All three men allegedly took classified information from the base, which is supposed to be a secure facility run by military personnel."

What the H E double-toothpicks is going on?!!? Did we hire fellow prisoners to be translators and set them free? Are any of these "translators" and "chaplains" on our side?

You just know they have the goods on all of these guys.

I wonder if the primary purpose of Gitmo is not as a detention center but as a trap to catch moles in the services. Very interesting!

Tons of Muslims in the BeanTown area (city/suburbs) which has always been comfortable for foreigners. Many universities are part of the factor. In Cambridge there was agitation to allow legal non-citizens to vote in local elections.

Lately, after these series of arrests, I've begun to wonder if some kind of "prison rescue" wasn't being planned by some terrorist group? An attack on the facility at Gitmo, and the classified documents being whisked away are plans of the site.

Doesn't sound plausible, but neither does flying airplanes into the WTC.

customs agents and Homeland Security workers conducted a random search

Random? I don't believe it. I think it was anything BUT random.

They're rounding them up as they come back into this country. Al-Amoudi was arrested when his flight landed at Dulles.
