They were overheard making their demonic plans by a Shoney's waitress. In other words, terrorists so dumb even the FBI could catch them.

And then also, maybe its a "boy who cried wolf" ploy in which they want us to become numb to the everyday threats, so when the real threats are present we pay them no attention.
"Just my opinion."
As for the Georgia-Florida story, if you haven't heard it all by now, on Sept. 12 a woman diner and her son were sitting in a Shoney's booth next to 3 middle-eastern young men. There was only a latticework between the two booths, which were side by side. The woman claims she never made eye contact. The men said things in whispers, and other things which she and her son could hear clearly, including, laughing about 9/11, and saying that if people cried on Sept. 11, they will cry again on Sept 13. One of the men said "we're running 5 hours late." One man asked another, "do we have enough to bring it down." The man answered, "Yes; if we don't, I have a contact so we can GET enough."
The woman admits the men made her angry, while her son thought they were fooling with her through the latticework. She took down the license plate and a description of both Japanese cars when the men left and called police. They were waiting at the toll booth to see if the men continued on the main route to Miami (there are very few through routes down there). Sure enough, the two cars reached the toll booth at the midpoint of Florida's "alligator alley" around 1 a.m. One car stopped to pay the toll but the other circumvented the tollbooth and tried to proceed. 8-10 miles further down the road, the car that blew through the toll booth was pulled over by a black & white, and the other car pulled over behind. The cop called for backup, and the detention and search operation began. Explosives dogs "alerted" on both cars. The bomb squad continued its work, stripping the linings and carpet out of both cars, blowing up one backpack, etc. The police described the men as "extrememly uncooperative." Nothing was found but some medical chemicals, and the three were medical students on their way to a weekend convention. Two are "naturalized" Americans and one is here legally on a visa. They were released after several hours.
The fact that two witnesses heard them talking, one car blew a tollbooth, the dogs alerted to both cars, and the men refused to cooperate with police when questioned -- including telling conflicting stories, even about who they were, makes it sticky for them to try to claim they were unjustly detained.

When my German/Belgian ancestors were living in wood and mud huts, the Arabs had already built extensive cities. Arabs created the numeral system we now use. If you think that isn't a major benefit to society, try doing multiplication or division with Roman numerals.
Arabs brought tremendous advances in architecture, medicine, astronomy, international affairs (they had emissaries traveling as far as northern Europe 1,000 years ago) and art.
The Hispanic gentleman who converted to Islam, and is suspected of smuggling "dirty" radioactive bomb plans, may be a terrorist.
Why no outcry against Hispanics?
I don't judge anyone by their religion, language, culture or skin color. I was raised that way, because I'm an American and a patriot.
If someone's belief or culture runs contrary to America's ideals, then yes, I strongly dislike that.
But until that person crosses the line into criminal action, he or she has a right to their opinion. The First Amendment says it; I believe it.
I just think there's entirely too much Arab-bashing going on right now. Let's rain Hell down on those worthy of our wrath, not those we dislike because of their ancestry.

You have nothing to be ashamed of. You didn't write anything here until now. We're not mad at all of an ethnic group, at least I'm not. I'm only upset with terrorists and inciters. It's nothing to joke about any more. Al Qaeda is an enemy, self-declared.

I took exception to others posts that included, "rag-headed camel humpers," the wish by another that he torture them for information (without benefit of any Constitutional Rights, presumably), and to speak Arabic one need only fill his mouth with camel dung.
Such bigoted statements are unAmerican.
I can understand the hatred, however. I just can't condone it.
If anyone is convicted of terrorism, I'll be the first to volunteer for their firing squad.
And I daily wish that Hell rains down on members of the Taliban, and sears their flesh in unending agony. I'm human; I have deep hatreds.
But until the terrorism suspects we hold are found guilty, they are protected by the U.S. Constitution. It's what makes this country great and worth fighting for.
"Innocent until proven guilty" is not just for people of European ancestry, such as I am. It is for all, citizens and non-citizens held on American soil.
That's the ideal we should respect and strive for.
I served my country in the Air Force from 1974 to 1979. I now work for the U.S. Army as a civilian.
It's strange, but I don't hear much "raghead" talk from the troops who may soon be fighting in Iraq. Most of them hate the Taliban and want to slaughter them, but I hear no blanket hatred of Afghanis.
It bothers me when I see people forget or ignore an ideal of this country, that all men (meaning women as well, of course) are created equal and are to be treated equal under the Law.
I know that sounds rather Boy Scoutish of me, but I believe that it should be strived for at all times. I know .. I know .. if you have enough money you can buy your "not guilty" pronouncement in this country, but at least it isn't as pervasive as it is in many other countries.
We all need to remember, especially during these trying times, that the First and Fourth Amendments are not merely words, but a code to live by and protect.
Some in our government would like to weaken or totally subvert those amendments, in the name of security. I see little security in no-knock searches, calls for stifling the media and holding people for months without charging them.
God help us all if we become victims of such practices. All it takes is a hateful --- and unstable --- neighbor placing a phone call about "that gun nut down the street" and claiming he heard you planning to mow down a mosque, kill "ragheads" or even help arm the Taliban. Who among us are immune from such slander?
We are all particularly susceptible to this kind of malice right now; The nation and its law enforcement agencies are on edge, understandably.
I too have difficulty containing my anger at the Afghans, but I try to remember what a great country I live in and I thank God(s) that I was born here.
Both my parents fought in World War II. My father as a G.I. in Europe and the South Pacific. My mother, as a member of the Belgian Resistance. My mother was twice imprisoned by the Gestapo and her first husband was thrown into a German toture camp. He was executed two weeks before D-Day.
Both my parents witnessed what blind hatred and an air of superiority does to a nation and its people.
Enough said. I won't respond further to this post as I have no desire to flog a dead horse.
We are all entitled to our opinion. The problem is, some opinions are downright dangerous and unAmerican, especially during these times.

Never assume prisoners of war, alien detainees, or enemies are protected by U.S. constitutional rights, nor will they be tried in U.S. civil or criminal courts. Enemy soldiers are captured, held, and tried by the military, when and where it is feasible to take prisoners. If they are captured in-country, they may be held by law enforcement, but they may also be turned over to the military if they are aliens. And war prisoners may be interrogated by us or our allies, at our discretion. Don't forget that huge difference.
We are fortunate to be American citizens, and not foreign enemies of America. Our foreign enemies will be in for a big surprise if they try to hide behind our Constitution. There is no legal obligation to abide by it in time of war, with non-American enemies. They are not covered by any of our precious documents of freedom, and if they choose to attack us, they do not have the right to expect leniency.
