Are these guys for real or just decoys ? I suspect that Al-Qaeda sent more than one team, just like in old spy/comedy movie "Spies Like Us". I am not kidding here.
These guys all look as if they've been peeled from underneath a rock (e.g., Atta, Moussouai, Reed).
Talk about 'Big Oil' driving polititians, perhaps the DNC sucks up to the Big Oil of Arabia. 'To hell' with Christians. Lock up any oil reserve other than Arabia's. Poor Philstines... er... Palistinians. Don't waste that precious oil but pay out the nose for it for the sake of the planet. I can't think of any other ways they could suck up to Arabia without losing their jobs.

BTW, any thoughts as to what happens to Scientologists when they meet thier maker?

If you think about it, all 19 of the 9/11 terrorist were no better at blending in and covering their tracks than this moron. One of the passengers aboard the shoe bomber's plane said in an interview the following day that she was just staring at the shoe bomber when he boarded and thinking that if this guy was a terrorist, he wasn't doing a very good job of disguising it.
Al-Queda is an incompetent cluster-f~ of bottom feeding buffoons that only survived this long because we let our guard down and our will down.
"Padilla is a former gang member from Chicago who was raised Catholic but converted to IslamSpook, is this one of the bin Laden's "deep cover and sleepers agents already tasked for future missions"? Is this how they blend into American society, able to bypass background checks? ;-}
Undersecretary of State John Bolton indicated the man was carrying plans for the attack when he was picked up in Chicago
Attorney General John Ashcroft said Al Qaeda apparently believed Padilla would be permitted to travel freely within the United States because of his citizenship and his U.S. passport
Padilla "trained with the enemy," studying how to wire explosives and researching radiological weapons. Ashcroft said Padilla met several times in 2001 with senior Al Qaeda officials in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where he traveled after he served one year's probation on state weapons and assault charges in Sunrise, Fla
Padilla first met Zubaydah in Afghanistan in late 2001 after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, then went to Lahore, Pakistan, to research dirty bomb techniques with an unidentified associate, officials said. At Abu Zubaydah's request, Padilla traveled to Karachi, Pakistan, in March to meet several senior Al Qaeda officials and discuss bombings of U.S. gas stations and hotels, officials said
He was convicted at 15 as a juvenile of aggravated battery, armed robbery and attempted armed robbery. A law enforcement official said Padilla was in custody there between November 1985 and May 1988
In Florida, he was convicted in 1991 in Sunrise on charges of aggravated assault and discharging a firearm, court records show
While in the Broward County jail, Padilla was accused of battery on a jail officer and resisting without violence in January 1992. He pleaded guilty and spent 10 months behind bars...
Court records also show Padilla with speeding convictions in 1993 and 1997, and his driver's license was suspended in 1996
Excuse me, he was planning to kill Americans? Hello?
I also heard about the shoe bombers new defence: " He was medicated at the time."
Who are these reporters and lawyers, and what are they doing in our country?
Both went to public schools?
....after being interrorgated extensively by the Pakastinis, Mohammed ratted out Padilla?
