This University of South Florida Professor, Sami Al-Arian, who was indicted a couple of days ago brings to mind the three Mideastern (Arab types) "students" that were overheard in a cafeteria by a woman traveller on Hwy 75 in Florida talking about the bad things they were going to do. They were stopped on Alligator Alley for 8 hours, searched, released, apologized to, reinstated at the university and nothing happened. From the televised statement made by the Attorney General yesterday, that particular university was a nest of Arabs. Were those three connected to Sami Al-Arian?

Those 3 Islamics were from Chicago. They were headed to Miami because I think they had relatives down there.

Havent heard much of the story recently...they threatened to sue the lady for slander...but heard nothing. The lady obviously was right in what she heard

When the three were pulled over in the Everglades...they were very uncooperative w law enforcement...which led to their situation. Had they just told the truth, they would have been let go quickly

Problem is, we may never know what the truth is. The Florida-Chicago connection is interesting, though -- it keeps re-occuring in these arrests, like a broken record.
