What makes you so sure that domestic terrorism and foreign terrorism are two completely separate things?? Has it never occured to you that someone crazy enough to commit terrorist acts could also conspire with foreigners??

[BlueAngel]

Have you heard anymore about this?

[Illbay]

Or it could be radical jihadists counting on idiots like you not understanding the significance of facing a threat the world has never seen.

OR it could be a gun-nut like you, counting on an idiot like you to think your snot makes mayonaisse.

"The most significant threat the world has ever seen" fails to impress when they send a bunch of bugs that give one or two people the sniffles.

Except that they can count on knot-heads like yourself to think it's the end of the world.

[Illbay]

What makes you so sure that domestic terrorism and foreign terrorism are two completely separate things??

I'm not "so sure." In fact, there's a real credible reason to think that the really, really radical right-wingers ARE in cahoots with the Jihadistanis. Perhaps McVeigh and company.

But even then, McVeigh's stunt was HUGE, much more in keeping with what the Jihadis love to do: Big, splashy, terrifying, holds your attention for a LONG time.

Contrast that with the Anthrax flap. It was random, haphazard, stupidly done.

FAR more like a lone-wolf Kasczinsky type than anything else Jihadistan has put together.

I don't doubt at all that there might be something to your theory, but this "weaponized" Anthrax (a "REALLY bad cold" instead of just a "BAD cold") just doesn't pass the sniff-test.

What if Eunice Stone is a sex slave for the Real Terrorists and her kinky Arab love master made her finger a couple of patsies to throw the authorities off his trail? What do you think? Should we knock her around a bit, get her fired from her job, and then try to deport her, just in case?

"I say: `BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.'"

Hmmmm. Ok.

[Dave S]

My head is spinning. Is this true? Do we have confirm on this? The last I heard was that Eunice Stone said she'd do it all again

Freddy is just a disruptor playing with you. I checked Fox, CNN, and AP and nary a comment suggesting that the woman is changing her story. Some just want to stir things up.

I think he is 18, and Eunice said that he not only heard them talking/laughing, but that he told her "Mom, they're just playing us." Now if she were lying, why would she include her son at all, let alone say that he thought they were kidding?

Your source for the son's statement????

This would back up everything she has said, including her statement, made on FOX, that she wasn't sure she was doing the right thing, and they might be kidding.

Two things: you can be arrested and convicted for joking like this in an airport. Perhaps it's best not to charge them with a crime, but they deserve the non-criminal punishment they've gotten.

If freddy's statement is an outright lie, it's time to flush him.

[SarahW]

No, it isn't true. Freddy misheard.

[SarahW]

Freddy misheard the reports about the 3 men calling her a liar.

When you're under a threat is the time you most need to be calm. Hysteria is counter-productive.

[keri]

ROFL. Okey-dokey:-) I'll talk to you after you've learned to read... "the significance of facing a threat the world has never seen" (what I said) is lots different from "the most significant threat the world has ever seen." (what you think I said).

[ConsistentLibertarian]

"When you're under a threat is the time you most need to be calm. Hysteria is counter-productive."

Word.

In an interview with the guys on CNN, the guy in the second car said he drove up to the toll booth and asked the woman if his friends in the car before him had paid the toll (an unusual question to ask in the first place). He said "she was still holding their money " and he claims she replied, "No", meaning they didn't pay. He also said her behavior was odd though he didn't elaborate. So,as he claims, he paid his toll and also paid for his friends and asked for and received a receipt.But all 3 guys, in both cars, claim they paid the tolls, in fact overpaid and one of the guys, half jokingly, said they were owed a refund.
The whole explaination was just odd.

Freddy is just a disruptor playing with you.

Then we should detain him for 17 hours in a hot van in alligator alley, while the bomb squad blows up his computer.

[The Other Harry]

I agree....and I think we should start with you. Let's have a test case and export your whole family.

You can start with me and my family if you want. None of us has yet gone to war against the US. Nor have any of us ever conducted an act of terrorism.

Imo, if people like John Walker Lindh don't want to be a part of this country, that's okay.

Wonder if he asked that question before or after the police took off in pursuit of the first vehicle? I kind of feel it was an attempt after the fact to get his buddy an excuse. Note the request for a receipt.

Your source for the son's statement????

Only Eunice herself - she said as much on her first phone interview with Fox news Fri am. As far as I know her son has done no interviews and no official statements by him have been published. Hopefully, he will come out and corroberate his mother's story in the first person.
