What do they mean, "Israelis"? The word can refer to either Israeli Jews or Israeli Arabs.

In the 70s our highways were pretty trashy. Then the state rolled out the Tennessee Trash campaign, and we've been throwing litter bugs in jail ever since!

Yeah, we are just dumb as dirt here in TN. Maybe you could come teach us how to be sophisticated? Why don't you post your resume online in this thread so I can enlist the help of more sophisticated people to help me evaluate it? We really need the help of people like you to rise above our geography. Please help. Please.

Interstates are full of cameras, everything is recorded. Back roads have much less of this type of surveillance.

Interstates throught the wilds of NC and TN are not full of cameras. We've only got new fangled things like cameras in the big cities.

Israeli Arabs or Jews or Christians?

Who knows? The Unicoi County Sheriff, on camera, only identified them as "Israelis". The news stories identify them as "Israeli". Period. End of story. To those are interested in determining what type of 'Israelis' these guys are; call the Unicoi County Sheriff's Department.

It does not surprise me at all that Tennessee police called them "Israelis" to the media. When's their next KKK meeting, BTW? Or do they have to return to their group home after work? ...idiots. People won't know who they're really talking about unless they say, even in Tennessean, "Ayrabs.

Visit my Uncle Earl sometime down South, he'll learn ya a thing or two. Starting with manners, first off.

I neglected to mention that there is a bottling plant for water in the Erwin area, also.

It is well known before 9/11 Mossad agents were tracking Al-Qaeda agents around the world including here in the USA. When the Mossad tried to warn our government which was still being operated by Clinton bureaucrats, they were ignored.

FBI detains two Israelis arrested in Unicoi

Sunday, May 09, 2004

By RON SCALF

NET News Service ERWIN - The FBI detained two Israelis who led the Unicoi County sheriff on a high-speed chase in a rented Ryder Rental Truck late Saturday afternoon.

Being held without bond in the Unicoi County Jail on charges stemming from the chase are Shnuel Daran, 22, and another man only identified as Naor. Both men are from Israel.

Sheriff Kent Harris said Naor produced a fake identification card and the duo were uncooperative with officers.

"The other man, (Daran) produced an expired passport," Harris said.

The rental truck was being held at the county garage, pending an FBI investigation.

A "Learn to Fly" brochure was found in the truck, Harris said, leading officers to express concerns about security at the Nuclear Fuel Services plant in Erwin.

"I got a sick feeling when I saw it," Harris said. "What were they doing throwing things out of the truck?" he questioned.

Harris said he was on the former U.S. Highway 23 heading for his office after participating as a judge at the annual Ramp Festival in Flag Pond. Harris said he and Special Deputy Ed Sparks noticed the truck racing down the mountain.

"I was really concerned because the driver would not stop after I flashed my headlights for nearly three miles," he said. "He was weaving back and forth and, I was wondering what a large Ryder Rental Truck was doing on the two-lane highway late Saturday afternoon instead of the faster I-26 Interstate."

Harris said he also noticed the men throw something from the vehicle while they were being pursued.

A vial, containing an unknown substance not believed to be an illegal drug, was found by a bevy of officers who walked the area along the lightly traveled old highway near the North Carolina line at Ernestville.

Along with the FBI, Harris contacted the federal Bureau of Tobacco and Firearms, the Erwin Police Department as well as his own investigators to look into the situation.

The sheriff said the truck was rented in Mars Hills, N.C. He also said Daran produced a fake Florida driver's license issued in Plantation, Fla. He said his office would follow-up with Florida law enforcement officials and Interpol, the international tracking system for wanted criminals.

"We're not overreacting," Harris said. "We have a responsibility to protect the citizens of Unicoi County and that's what I'm going to do at any cost. I'd rather overreact, if that's what you call it, than be sorry later."

Harris said he was lucky that a regional FBI agent happened to be visiting in Unicoi County and met him within 15 minutes of his call.

"We all need to be serious about homeland security," Harris said.

"We're living in a different time ... a time in which we all need to be vigilant."

like the stories concerning the more than 300 Israeli Jews who were arrested nationwide following 9/11.

Hey troll, the leftist attempt to blame 9/11 has been discredited so many times it has become comical. Why not bop back to DU and have a laugh with your cohorts?

It might be very convenient for them if they staged various terrorist attacks, polarized Americans against the Arab states, and brought our power to bear alongside that of Israel in an escalated conflict.

That's about the only explanation of 9/11 that makes any sense to me.

There is no mention of a dog being shot during the vehicle stop. You must have Tennesse confused with Alabama. The way cops shoot dogs down here one would think there is a hunting season on dogs.

Sounds like a couple of enterprising moonshine runners got busted.
