"Well, I'm still trying to figure out how the informant knew the nationalities of the men he was allegedly smuggling."

Maybe he was water boarded. And frankly, I would not care if he was.

It pays to know who your customers are. If non-hispanic people want to get across the border, the price probably goes way up. As I said before, maybe he has an inkling of reward potential for "people of interest" to the US government.

How much do you all want to bet that the Mexican informant is currently in the custody of one of the alphabets? You know we are not just letting him run free in ole mexico. We have already sent some of our finest across the border and or either with him in Mexico or we have already airlifted him back into San Diego. Just speculation on my part.

If this informant had this kind of information he would be dead about one second after he crossed.

A so called "dirty bomb" has nothing to do with a nuclear explosion. It has to do with placing some radioactive material near a conventional explosive and blowing it up. Geiger counters go off and people go nuts. Is a great terror weapon. Lots of exposure and is cheap and easy to do.
I'm surprised it hasn't been used yet.

I hope so Mower, but we have been in such fear of the Mexicanos there is a chance we just let him go.

Me, either. The Dems should keep things like this in mind when they advocate Geneva Connvention protections for terrorists.

"Geiger counters go off and people go nuts. Is a great terror weapon."

And, if I recall correctly, a single isotope can kill within months. I don't know a thing about radiation, but someone was talking with Boortz about dirty nukes a few weeks ago. Isotopes floating in the atmosphere, getting into drinking water, into food, etc. It's a real mess.

Personally, I think the silence of the MSM is more frightening right now. They are probably being told to sit on it.

Apparently the informant had a picture of someone the FBI was looking for...

6:00 p.m. news on WRKO just said that the FBI passed the info along to Boston LE because it was one of the rare instances in which a specific city was mentioned. I think Howie Carr was right that this info wasn't meant to get out. The terror alert hasn't been raised for the city, but since the info is out, the mayor and governor felt they had to respond.
