OH BUT SHERMY! I thought this guys family was laughing yesterday at the CRAZY thought that he could be connected to Al Qaeda! What a bunch of Sh!t. Lock him up and end it.

Folding up like a flimsy card board box!

The other checks were dated Sept. 3, Sept. 5 and Sept. 6, 2002.

How does one go about cashing a $5 mil check? Somehow, I don't think you can pass one of those down at the Stop-N-Shop.

Don't overlook these characters:

"Family members in Jordan say they have not been in touch with the Shishani or his lawyer, but have spoken with seven other brothers in the United States."

Seven more of these freaks here!! (This story has a lot more 'unwinding' to do yet.)

I took my family to Dearborn to Greenfield Village on July 12,13,14 I hadn't been there since the 70's, I was amazed at the Islamists in that area. The greater Detroit area is over run with these people, or should I say, it is a target rich environment!
