if they make it to LA, the City Council will give cover under Special Order 40 (no LAPD stops for phony immigrants)

[MaineVoter2002]

if he only spoke some Spanish he'd qualify for catch-n-release, and maybe a Guest Worker permit!

I only wish your implication were true. Believe me, he qualifies.

"It's hard to find good, qualified suicide-bombers these days!"

They blow up so young these days, and the retirement program sucks....

[SFC Chromey]

How did he get to Chicago from NYC

SSSSHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you aren't supposed to ask that obvious of a question. Remember these cats are no threat to you and I, meanwhile approach them with caution.


(sarc- really)

[thinking]

I think you are being to kind, to this garbage...this punt puke,I would like to hear that he lost his fingers in an accidental, closing of the cell doors

[Sopater]

Correct, we currently have six of them...

[Cementjungle]

From all information these 11 Egyptian men appear to be wandering around the country clueless...which begs the question: "Why the hell were they let in in the first place?".

They all, as a group, missed their connecting flight that day then wound up scattered around the country? Then, with all the news about them they declined to report in? Sounds perfectly normal to me!

[Howlin]

The Delta supervisor contacted the university

Why the hell did they call the school AFTER they found out the FBI was looking for them?

And you are right: something REALLY does not make sense here.........and I'm sick of them not telling me the truth.

[Sacajaweau]

Considering these boys were "lost" for a week before they put out the BOLO, I'd say they were connected. I think if we look at the time, the UK would have been at the beginning of their takedown. They knew who, when and where they were going to come down.

On another note, the Egytians could have been just a distraction....pea and shell game. It's knida what it looks like.

[NonValueAdded]

I get the impression from the story that no one bothered to flag the tickets for the 11 missing students and quite possibly, if this guy had just kept his mouth shut, could have boarded a flight. As someone else said, how did the get there from NYC?

[NorseWood]

They couldn't get on a plane to Bozeman, Montana but they can find their way to and around in OHare during all the contruction? something doesn't add up here and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

Wait, I thought that these were outstanding college students? Why else would they be invited to come over here as part of an exchange program if they were not academically gifted?

[Cementjungle]

They blow up so young these days, and the retirement program sucks....

You have something against 72 virgins?!

[unixfox]

"The missing students pose no terrorism threat, FBI officials said."

That's because they aren't posing, they ARE a terrorist threat.

[jblair]

Carnies. Circus folk. You know, small hands.

“They say he was kind of fidgety, moving around and kind of talking in a loud voice, which caused for a little bit of alarm,” Bulger said.


Man. Its a good thing they're stupid.

[calex59]

Oh, yes, they are saying these 6 students hold no terror threat, well that is true in a way now that we have them in custody, but what about before we apprehended them?

If they were no threat why bother tracking them down? Why look for the missing 5? Maybe the 5 missing are the ones who are supposed to blow something up? Maybe it was just a test to see how easy they could slip into the crowds and disapear.

[Begin]

Not the brightest bulb in the box, I'd say.

Par for the course when it comes to college students.

[GeronL]

did he have a sports drink and a dispoable camera?

[Deguello]

"and the Delta supervisor and they went a little farther in their investigation...."

So, they never Red Flagged these pre-paid tickets out of New York?

[conservative in nyc]

So, will the Fed's investigate how he got from NYC to Chicago? Do we have a Islamist underground railroad?

I doubt it. No one checks passengers in cars driving from New York to Chicago. And I don't think you need ID to ride a bus. There are tons of ways to get to Chicago without ID.
