One of the Lackawanna sleeper cell suspects now admits that he trained with al-Qaida terrorists in Afghanistan, but insists that he left their camp in fear and disgust over the "crazy radical mentality" that he witnessed there. <p what, he mistook it for GIRL SCOUT CAMP???

[riri]

OK, this is complete and utter BS. We are supposed to believe that he went to a terrorist training camp and was surprised by what he saw? Come on, how would you even know the contacts to make to arrange a stay at one of these camps. What circles would you have to travel in?

And yes, he heard no anti American talk when there. Ofcourse, that is pretty much their reason for existance but hey, sure, we believe you.

[anymouse]

ping.

Looks like the Buffalo Al Qaeda perps have been "lawyered-up," as these excuses don't even pass the "giggle test."

[Catspaw]

People don't just "go" to al Qaeda training camps (you know, like an al Qaeda training camp was like a B & B). They're screened & then invited, after being vetted in the US, then in Pakistan, before they were let into Afghanistan.

Didn't Doug from Upland write a song about "Camp Osama" sung to the tune of "Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda?" It seems to me that he did that some months ago.

[swarthyguy]

Too late. U can't just waltz into one of these camps.

Attendees are recruited, then investigated, then allowed access.

Does anyone else think dropping big bucks at a casino is somewhat reminiscent of Atta&Co whooping it up at a titty bar in FL before the Attacks. A last earthly fling before the "Big Meal".

Whether they are gulity of any crime or not is the job of the jury, not the press.

Look at it from another angle, would you lock up or take to court as Terrorists, all the US based Militas. Who distrust/hate the Federal Gov. and if the Gov. try to take their guns away from them, there would be a war.

So true. Thanks for the heads up!

Currently, in Washington, there is a joint Congressional committee hearing going on re: who missed what prior to 9-11. Not really pointing a finger of blame but somewhat trying--FBI,CIA, the President, INS--anyone that the Congress critters can make look bad.

Now at the same time, in Buffalo, an extensive, 3 days long, bail hearing is occurring to try to get six of these ATTA wannabees out of jail.

What is wrong with this picture? Somewhere, as usual, the right hand of the government does not know what the left hand is doing.

These guys were not at fantasy baseball camp--they were at a camp that was training people to wage murder and mayhem against Americans. They belong locked up!

i have no idea how your point relates to the fact that this is complete BS that they are spewing, about being turned off by the HATERS at the Camp Be-An-Al-Queda-Op.

As Katie Couric said, "But other than that..."

[xsmommy]

well, katie has a point. no one knows for certain that he wasn't just there to learn how to do macrame and make smores....

[John_11_25]

Was it a crime to go to these camps in Afghanistan before September 11 2001. NO

You will probably find the US government were helping recruit people for these camps when they wrere fighting the Soviets.

Lots of people have been to the Milita camps within the US and is this a crime ?

NO.

Do they say things against the federal GOV.?

Yes.

Would they attack the Federal Government if they try to take their weapons?

YES

Or do we want to lock them up because they are Muslim ?

The answer seems to be yes.

[xsmommy]

Or do we want to lock them up because they are Muslim ?

The answer seems to be yes

i'm quite sure you must be right. they never intended any harm. it was a love of arts and crafts that had them there.

[2rightsleftcoast]

Yes, Katie really gets to the heart of the matter.
LOL

[rmlew]

Training with enemy soldiers is prima facia evidence of hostility to the US.

Nice to see a Saudi or oil-bribed dhimmi shilling for terrorists. What a delightful change.

[crazykatz]

You are such an apologist for these morons!!
