Federal Officials and Rep. Peter King: Suspected Plane Bomber's Name is "Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab"
Friday, December 25, 2009 | Kristinn

Rep. Peter King has named the suspected terrorist who attempted to blow up an Amsterdam to Detroit flight today as "Abdul Mudallad.", according to the AP in an article timestamped 7:04 p.m. EST.

King was just on live with CNN talking about the failed terrorist attack, but the CNN anchor cut King off when he started to say the suspect's name and would not allow King to name him. The anchor said CNN was not able to confirm the name.

King is the Ranking Member on the House Homeland Security Committee.

Citing federal officials, MSNBC is also naming the suspect, but uses a more complete version: "Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab".

MSNBC also reports Abdul Mutallab left Lagos, Nigeria yesterday and boarded flight 253 in Amsterdam today.

King has confirmed that he is a terrorist with Al Qaeda links but was not on the No-Fly List.
It looks like political correctness almost got us again.

“King is the Ranking Member on the House Homeland Security Committee.”

They cut Peter King off..., wouldn’t allow him to mention the asshat muzzies name, because CNN couldn’t confirm the information!?

Takes a lot of balls to cut off the source one would go to for information because CNN couldn’t otherwise confirm it.

If Peter King couldn’t confirm the information right there on the spot, then why the Hell is he the Ranking Member?

“Amish pacifists...”

I think Quakers are to blame.

Mennonites are agitating lately, as well.

Looks like the WOT is heating up. It started with the terrorist attacking our soldiers at Fort Hood. Then we strike and kill Hasan’s Imam in Yemen and now Yemen sends a jihadist to retaliate in America.

Well, it looks like the next “funny-looking” person who farts on an airplane is going to get the daylights beaten out of them by the passengers, followed by severe “resisting arrest” by the police. Political correctness doesn’t outweigh self-preservation. So, this trick isn’t going to work again, at least for a while...

Diversity is inherently good, even if the ideals and activities ‘contributed’ are destructive if not lethal. We must all blindly worship diversity so our conscience feels better and we need do nothing about the ‘soft’ racism of lowered expectations. This allows us to feel superior to others who cling to the tired old dogmas of ‘decency’ and ‘morality’. Bitter clingers etc.

Lol, I think you have to have one on the left and one on the right to be really articulate.

"White House official says this was attempted act of terrorism".

Didn't they mean an attempted act of manmade disaster? Because, clearly, terrorism, is just a racist code word, isn't it? /sarc

These stupid politicians need to understand that these people are getting way to close for comfort.

Obama needs to step down and get Bush back.

It is simply suicidal to treat the al Qaeda network as simply 'an illegitimate political organization, both terrorist and criminal' while ignoring the radical religious foundation underpinning this and other groups that constitute an Irreconcilable Wing of Islam. Anyone blind to this should be dismissed from working in national security. - Newt Gingrich

Maybe they were protecting him from mangling the name again. And the mangled name might be someone else who would sue.

Well, thank God the wonderful TSA, Air Marshalls, and all the other people we paid billions of $$$ to grope a thousand Moms this holiday season were there to save this plane!!!!!

TSA is too busy stealing cameras and laptops to worry about an occasional bomb coming aboard.
