Too true! We do need to know. I would say not, or they would say they have it.
I believe the announcement was made today because they were transferring him to DOD custody. That is the big news about this.
I also want to point out to all the people who have been profiling proponents that this is a perfect example of why profiling is not a solution.
To: Miss Marple
I think the difference is that Walker was fighting with the Taliban and was not plotting terrorist attacks in the US.That's a very good possibility. However, they did transfer that person (I cannot remember his name) whose parents were Saudi, but was born in Louisiana and held US citizenship (although there is a question about that) into US federal custody from Gitmo recently. It may be that Padillo had renounced his US citizenship and became either a Pakistani or an Afghani.

And I am really concerned with the timing of this nabbing. You would think a serious plan would have several decoys set up to allow the authoritities to drop their guarding figuring they had uncovered the plot.
To: maxwell
You just *stop* your nasty talk right there, mister. FOFL!!!
nonhomogenous....tsk tsk tsk

Flew from Texas to Idaho yesterday. The airport security, based on "random screening", pulled a little 5-year old girl on her first flight out of line in front of me and subjected her to screening (thankfully short). She was one scared little girl!!

"The conspiracy nut in me wonders what's to keep Ridge & Company from staging something to justify their existence."
Not to my knowledge, Ridge had little to do with this. However, lets not jump to high here. There is no indication that the RDD ever excisted. Though plotting against the US Government using an RDD is good enough for me. Talk about High Treason.......
To: alisasny
There will be a legal challenge to this, unfortunately. But according to Ashcroft, there is SCOTUS precedent for trying U.S. Citizens who have turned traitor before a military commission.
Abu Zubaydah must be singing like a canary. I wonder who is doing the interrogation? Maybe we flew in some of the "experts" from the Big Lubyanka in Moscow to handle Zubaydah.
Be Seeing You,

I think we need to consider Scientologist converts from the Amish just as much as anyone else. Especially those of Italian descent.

""plutonium in his gym shorts" "
On second thought, nah, ain't gonna say it!
To: Catspaw
He was busted at O'Hare? That's a little too close for comfort.You've got that right...especially since the winds have been out of the southeast lately. Have you heard "where" the bomb was to be exploded?
To: tray-sea
".. but does anyone else find it unsettling that this story breaks and now we're just supposed to feel like it's all over, nothing to worry about -- foiled the attack. Unless they have captured many others in this plot and just keep it secret -- and if that is the case then Yippee we've stopped one bad thing, for now. -snip- I don't think we've seen the end of this story."
Well, I expect one of the reasons we're hearing about it after the fact is that they were trying to do that very thing... track down his fellow conspirators.... wouldntchathink ? Didn't hear anyone saying anything about not worrying but catching one is at least a start. I don't think this is the end of this story nor do I think itis the only one that will surface. I'm grateful the administration doesn't feel it necessary to run before a camera and tell everything they know to Osama and the immediate world but I would like to know if they have confiscated his "supplies".

His muslim name is a giveaway to justify profiling.
To: Dog Gone
He is a hispanic convert to Islam That's got to be a first. There was a report shortly after 9/11 about a Hispanic (Puerto Rican, if I remember correctly) from New Jersey (Jersey City?) who converted to Islam and went to Afghanistan to fight with al Qaeda.
Some of the defendants in the terrorist trials in NYC have been black and Hispanic converts to Islam.
If that flight that crashed over Rockaway was brought down by a shoe bomb, the bomber on that flight to the Dominican Republic was very likely Hispanic.

High treason, folks. High treason, indeed. His goose is cooked.
