According to a police report obtained by WOAI radio under the Texas Open Records Act, the men were "very serious" and said they were "having a good time and spending our money just like our others did before 9-11."

Mohammaded Atta redux?

Guess they were making their Haj to the house of hooters, sort of a dress rehersal for the 72 virgins.

21 gold and platinum credit cards, three Texas driver's licenses and a road map of Florida, the terror vacation paradise.

Ho, hum -- just another jihadi sunrise.

>...as well as 21 gold and platinum credit cards.

Investigating identity theft, credit fraud and immigration fraud will put a stop to this. But these are the prudential steps that our own gov't refuses to take. Instead they would rather feel up grannies at airports and have eye scanning like in Minority Report.

3 Accused of Plotting to Bomb Military Bases in Texas

Excerpt:

Mark Rich, an FBI spokesman in San Antonio, said the men were questioned by agents, and he said they were "very interested" in the comments they made, but he told WOAI that federal charges were unlikely.

The men were being detained for the Immigration and Naturalization Service and were facing state charges of making terrorist threats. They were held in the county jail in lieu of $2 million bond apiece.

No federal charges? Incredible! Guess they'd have blow us up first.......

Let me know if you want OFF or ON my ping list!

Are they trying to tell us that when Congress wrote laws defing "acts of terrorism"....THAT THEY FORGOT TO ADD "THREATS OF TERRORIST ACTS TO CITIES, WATER SUPPLIES, LANDMARKS BRIDGES AND LARGE POPULATIONS, ET AL"?????

2 mil bond is a little high for the standard "terroristic threats" already on the books...hopefully, Texas laws INCLUDE a special provisian for the threat of TERRORISM, as well as the standard 'torroristic threats" charge.

BTW, what's with the mispellings of the perps' names?

[cake_crumb]

Anyone else thinking of three "Saudi businessmen"...who were taking numerous photos of Texas lakes, and "camping" at one of them, with no tent or any other supplies...and wearing business suits?

Possible JIHAD IN AMERICA ping.

[Illbay]

So let's get this straight: If you are an average white boy, and you make a silly, obviously joking comment about having a bomb in your suitcase when you're in line at the airline check-in, you're immediately going to be arrested, carted to the jailhouse, and you will be convicted and given some sort of sentence (happened here in Houston to a German tourist).

But if you're a young man of Middle Eastern extraction, and you make this comment in public, you're just fine.

How does this work, again?

[Cobra Scott]

As a Texan, with first-hand expeinence on the terroristic threat statute in this state, I can assure you that a $2M bond would not be likely.

A $30k for attempted homicide, a felony, is not unusual.

Terroristic threat is a misdemeanor.

If I have redeemed myself amongst my fellow freepers with this info, I am happy. now, what were the actual charges? That is the real question....
