Okay ... but just because they are "Israeli Nationals" doesn't mean they are Jews! Please get that straight. There are a lot of Arabs who are Israeli Nationals. The media will only highlight the Israeli part, and leave off the Arab part.

"There are several Arabs with Israeli citizenship..."

Actually, there are more than one million Arabs with Israeli citizenship, but the report doesn't say they were citizens, but rather, Israeli nationals which would include anyone traveling under Israeli papers, and that could include a significant number of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank.

But were they listening to AC/DC at the time of their arrest?

I know someone who knows someone who works at the Bremerton Shipyards whose aunty by marriage once had a cleaning lady whose dog was run over by a guy who used to eat at a restaurant next door to the store where Ted Nugent has his hunting bows restrung.

BRA-VO!

I knew they had Arab citizens. . .

Why?

When the Israeli "art student/spy" story was first reported, person after person insisted all of them were Arab Isralis. Turns out they were not.

Then, as now, there was little to go on. But many were absolutely sure: 1. Nothing happened 2. Israeli Arabs did it.

Authorities say records for the Ryder truck do not indicate any recent rental for the purposes of transporting explosives, which would require special permits.

Yeah, right.

I think what they were trying to say here was that there were no previous legitimate rentals of the truck for transporting explosives implying that the two Arabs had to been handling or transporting the explosives & doing so illegally.

My daughter and son-in-law live on Whidbey in Navy housing. This is disturbing. I suspect we've had a number of terrorist just wander in through Canada. CLOSE ALL THE FREAKING BORDERS!

Something to keep in mind, there was the incident where someone was caught trafficing explosives in from Canada, perhaps a year or more ago. Could be the same situation, furthermore, there are a number of targets including nuke reactors in Kalipornica that would be targets. Hope they put those guys under the wheels of the truck and squish em' till they talk or go 'pop'.

Is a Palestinian "an Israeli National?"

I do believe at least some Palistinian Arabs, meaning Arabs living in the West Bank or Gaza, travel on Israeli passports. Even if they don't, there is a significant population of Israeli Arabs, most of whom know how good they have it, being able to vote and having many of their right protected the Israeli Constitution, but there are always a few who don't, and who support the Islamofacists.

What do you think they were doing over on Whidbey though? For those of you not local, it's not exactly on the main drag here in our area.

Israeli treatment of the Palistinians has been saintly ...

Y'know, I keep hearing that in here, but it doesn't square with my personal knowledge. As I mentioned I have a friend, a Christian who is a Syrian Arab. In his village in the Golan, he's had friends, Christian and Muslim, who've had their homes destroyed because "they might be terrorists." All you have to do in Israel to be suspected of "maybe terrorism" is be Arab.

Remember this? ---------------------------------------- Terror data repeatedly mentions Seattle
By Mike Carter and Ray Rivera
Seattle Times staff reporters

Seattle is repeatedly mentioned in information gathered by U.S. intelligence sources monitoring suspected al-Qaida terrorists and their sympathizers, and the Department of Justice has ordered an investigation to find out why.

The references to Seattle and the recent discovery of photographs of the city on a computer hard drive recovered from Osama bin Laden's fractured stronghold near Tora Bora, Afghanistan, led to a decision by Justice officials to determine whether the city or any of its landmarks, such as the Space Needle, may be a target, a source said yesterday.

"The photographs were cumulative of other intelligence," said one high-ranking source, who asked not to be identified. "While they, of themselves, would be a concern, they are not the first time Seattle has come up in connection with intelligence around possible terrorist acts."

Another source, who also requested anonymity, said Seattle has surfaced regularly in intelligence data reviewed by analysts in Washington, D.C.

"The city has earned the ignominious distinction of coming up very frequently on the nonspecific threat alerts," the source said.

"It's certainly in the top five, and my guess is that it is behind only New York and Washington."

And while the news has been filled with reports of a possible terrorist plot to fly a hijacked jet into one of the country's nuclear power plants, such as the plant on the Hanford nuclear reservation in Eastern Washington, published reports say the al- Qaida operative who told the FBI of the plot has not been credible in the past and the information has not been corroborated.(snip)
