This is starting to bother me.

First the car was “full of explosives”.

Then it was a trunk “full of explosives”.

Now a robot has pulled a bag out of the trunk...

It ain’t lookin’ like much folks. Not now anyway.

Yawn. This happened less than a mile from my brother’s house when I was there and I’ve known about it for hours.

This isn’t the worst place for Middle Eastern terrorists to get busted but close. They better pray to Allah that the feds take over quick as local law enforcement don’t give a squat about the ACLU.

Homeland security will issue it’s, “There’s no indication this is linked to terrorism,” statement soon and this story may disappear.

You mean like a couple of years ago when the ME student blew himself up outside an OU football game after he tried unsuccessfully to get in?

Yeah...like that.

Whats kind of scary (at least to me) is when I read something like this I think of the timing...next week (August 6 and August 9) are the aniversaries of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Trully, I don’t want to be labled a ‘tinfoiler’ but that crossed my mind (they do seem to like ‘symbolism.’) Great police work by the Officers in SC.

I noticed Congress just renewed/passed the Bush/FISA legislation today...I wonder if they know something they’re not telling us...

“These Things”

There is nothing to see here people keep moving on

Slowly their necks turn and then they’re gone

No one cares when the show is done

Well at least the explosives are off the street and hopefully this will help us find co-conspirators. Sounds like another all-expenses one-way paid for a few fiends to Guantanamo.

The FBI is now in charge of the scene in Goose Creek and they are not releasing any new information on the explosives found in a vehicle Saturday night.

News 2’s Tara Lynn reports the FBI is now on the scene along Highway 176 in Goose Creek. Agents deployed a robot and pulled what looks like a duffle bag from the trunk.

According to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s department, deputies closed Highway 176 after finding what they thought were explosives in the trunk of a car at about 6:00 Saturday night.

According to Lt. Vince Lombardo, deputies discovered the suspicious items in the trunk during a traffic stop. The two men inside the vehicle are detained at the scene. Lombardo also said information from an investigation in another jurisdiction raised the suspicions of the deputies.

176 is shut down from Dragon Way to Myers Road, with limited access to Mount Holly.

“I hate to say it but waterboard them both.”

As someone who lives in Charleston, I’d love to say, “waterboarding time.”

I always think that is why the Presidents age so during their terms.

Prayers for those in the military and in law enforcement who put their lives on the line to keep the rest of us safe.

I don’t want to sound extreme, but I’m for the underwear on the head treatment myself.

LOL...the posted news accounts make this sound like it all started from a ‘routine traffic stop.’ But I can’t help but wonder if a Police dog (we know how much they like canines) sniffed something out?
