Breaking: John Ashcroft says U.S. disrupted plans to attack U.S. with "dirty" radiation bomb.

SOOO glad he was caught.

[maxwell]

My fingers are superglued to the keyboard, I cain't get to my wallet.

Ashcroft detailed this guy's movements, and the transfer to DOD custody is very interesting, because the guy is a citizen. However, Ashcroft recommended the transfer and asked President Bush to give the order to do so.

If a member of Al Quaeda, and I have every reason to believe they have big time proof, this means they want to use the tribunal and want to keep their information on how they tracked him secret.

By the way, this guy went through Chicago's O'Hare airport, Illinois freepers. Let's be careful out there!

They don't need to. 9/11 justified their existence.

[homeschool mama]

lol...school's out for summer, silly rabbit.

Hope for the next generation.

Plot to smuggle in a dirty bomb.

The big question is how far along did this get?

[shadowman99]

High treasson? SThat'ss not very ssenssitive of you to ssay sthat! I'm sssure that if we were to look at thiss persson's life we would find he iss just a victim.

[ao98]

His name is Al-majher(sp?). He is a hispanic convert to Islam. His real name was Jose Fidilla(sp?). He might have been recruited at an immigration center.

[CedarDave]

Actually, AG Ashcroft made the announcement. Your headline says Ridge.

[finnman69]

Wow, Drudge must be asleep to have missed this story so far.

There would have been no next generation for him.

"plutonium in his gym shorts"

Well I once thought I was walking around with plutonium in my gym shorts. But that was college. Now I am just a spent rod.

[Dog Gone]

He is a hispanic convert to Islam

That's got to be a first.

[AAABEST]

I thought they found him smuggling plutonium in his gym shorts or somthing.

That would give nuclear fuel rod a whole new meaning.

Now we're all supposed to go "boy oh boy am I glad we just created a that multi-billion dollar bureaucracy".

[RCW2001]

Hispanic muslims? OH yeah...keep those borders open George, free trade and all!

[marty60]

Can anyone find out if this guy is one of the Puerto Rico terrorist that Clinton let out of jail. Timing is coincidental. Also out of Brooklyn.

[Dales]

We can thank the 50,000 Watt blowtorch here in Pittsburgh for that. They were trying to break in to go live to Ashcroft, and they couldn't get the audio right and the news guy was getting frustrated. I heard him say Ridge.

Please update, Admin

[Catspaw]

He was busted at O'Hare? That's a little too close for comfort.

And, may I add, Holy Moly.

[SarahW]

Yes, my point exactly. Sarah ( non paratus sum )
