U.S. officials say a Pakistani-American charged with an attempted car bombing in New York City is cooperating with investigators as they try to determine a motive for the planned attack. Faisal Shahzad was arrested late Monday and charged with trying to blow up a sports utility vehicle in crowded Times Square on Saturday. Meanwhile, authorities in Pakistan say they have made arrests in connection with the failed car bombing.

The man charged with numerous counts of terrorism was born in this tiny northwestern village known as Mohib Banda. Faisal Shahzad's father is a retired air vice marshal in the Pakistani military. He comes from an upper-middle class family. Neighbors in this town of 5,000 are saddened by the news.

"I am weeping for my village; I am weeping for this unfortunate family," Nazirullah Khan, retired school teacher said. "What on earth is going on?"

Evidence, including a box labeled 'Silver Salutes,' right, is spread in an alley on the property of a house where Faisal Shahzad lived, in Bridgeport, Conn. Shahzad was taken into custody late Monday by FBI agents and New York Police Department detectives while trying to leave the country, 4 May 2010.

As long as Faisal Shahzad is cooperating, he won't be tortured...

"as they try to determine a motive for the planned attack"

Gee, he travelled to Pakistan for Jihadi training, but hey, it could've been his mortgage and Bush!

No, I don’t think that. His only motive is to kill Americans.

I have a question for all.

Why is the MSM coming up with all these tortured,
asinine explanations of these guys which includes
everything but what they really are?

I’ve got a partial theory. I thing the MSM convinced
themselves that with a statesman like Barack Obama
at the helm there would no longer be terrorist at-
tacks against the US by Islamic terrorists, at least
not in an organized way. They are so invested
in this fantasy that they can’t stop themselves from
trying to sell it to the public. In their thimble
sized world it was Bush and arrogant US foreign
policies which drove terrorism. They can’t deal
with the fact that there are people who just flat
hate us enough to try to cause us harm no matter who
is POTUS. And, they think we are all psycho enough
to try to hurt American Muslims because of what
Islamo terrorists do so they need to tell us it’s
raining while they pee down our legs.

Does my theory hold water? What do you think?
While one part of me thinks the MSM is pretty
funny, another part of me thinks it is fairly
sad.

Simple: The globalist-elite owned corporate media are government mouthpieces.
