Just heard this on Fox. I think the DOJ has been very busy while everyone was watching Afghanistan.

I wonder why it has taken so long to round up these people. Gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling that these, perhaps, bad guys have still had access to the airport for five months.

[aculeus]

Bump for bigger and better roundups.

[pabianice]

Bet you a day's pay that they were on expired "student" visas, protected by the various communist faculty people at Harvard, et al, and in the State House. When Dukakis was governor, his administration generated fraudulent social security numbers to illegal aliens so they could stay in the US. After Kabul, the US should do some "nation building" in Cambridge, MA.

Remember folks.................The Director of the airport at the time (now replaced) got the position by political backscratching (typical of Taxachusetts politics) and had no clue or experience on how to either run an airport or provide security for one.

Federal authorities Wednesday began rounding up as many as 20 workers at Logan International airport, where the two planes that crashed into the World Trade Center in New York on Sept. 11 took off, a spokeswoman

You call this Breaking News?

Look at the date on this article, Septemb--

Oh.

I hope we got the approval of the mullahs before this hasty action.

[Semper Paratus]

Green airport(RI) for me!

If it's 20 at BOS, how many would you guess at JFK? Nawwwwww, there could never have been a bomb on AA587.

[freedomson]

It is safe to jump in the shower now, isn't it?

[1Old Pro]

Good, Logan needs a clean-up.

They have a do-nothing State Tropper barracks assigned to Logan Airport (and located right there at Logan). Prior to 9/11, their primary function in life appeared to be blowing their whistles at drivers attempting to drop off passengers in front of the terminal. Then they would hang out at the Dunkin' Donuts just inside the terminal. They wear weird 1930's uniforms here. High boots and horse-riding bloomer pants (forget what they call them). I don't think I've ever seen a trooper actually in the gate area walking around on foot patrol. They do now, of course.

It has been reported that the former Iraqi soldier, Hussain Al-Hussaini, that was tied to the OKC bombing by the good investigative work of Jayna Davis was working on the ramp at Logan on September 11. Above is a link to information from the court record on Al-Hussaini.

Twenty workers at Logan Airport charged for false identification By Leslie Miller, Associated Press, 02/27/02 BOSTON -- Twenty people who worked security at Logan Airport faced federal charges Wednesday after an investigation showed they lied to get their jobs or security badges, officials said.

[dennisw]

Illegal aliens no doubt!

[mewzilla]

So how many of the twenty do you suppose work for Argenbright?

[takenoprisoner]

I wonder if Hussain Alhussaini (also known as Al-Hussaini Hussain)is one of them round up? Naw, I doubt it. Since he's just a guy who was surely mistakenly ID'd by some as John Doe #2... Oddly enough though , those persistently interested in this character (not the FBI of course) continued to follow him all the way from OKC to his new job at, you guessed it, Logan.

Course there is nothing to see or suspect here. Surely nothing more than a crinkled wrap of tinfoil hat crap.

On Sept. 11, two jumbo jets were hijacked after leaving Logan and flown into the twin towers in New York.

BTW, those planes were not "jumbo jets." They were Boeing 767s. A jumbo jet is a Boeing 747. A small point perhaps, but I hate the way news organizations have become so casually sloppy in their reporting. A sixth grader could easily find at least a half dozen errors in any newspaper today.

[Demidog]

Martin declined comment on why law enforcement was arresting the workers. She also declined comment on a local radio report that said the suspects would be charged with having false Social Security (news - web sites) numbers that gave them access to the airport.

She also declined to comment apparently on why it took them 6 months to do anything.

Talk about closing the barn door after the cows have gotten out.....
