Chewing through this week’s news

Posted 18 Aug 2006 in jihadists, stupidity, terrorism

It’s only 9:45, but my Friday is already shaping up to be a triple-decker shit sandwich. So before I have to take a big ‘ol bite, let’s look at some of the recent news.

There sure is a helluva lot of stuff going on right now in regards to our airports. I think the terrorists are still probing us for weaknesses and trying to commit jihadi homicide on a monumental scale.

These are not coincidences:

• We’ve got three “young Muslim males” from here in Texas (Maruan Muhareb, Adham Othman, and Louai Othman) arrested for buying thousands of cellphones in Michigan. Either they’re too stupid to realize that if they were geniunely reselling products they should have bought them wholesale – and could have just as easily bought them here in Texas. Or they’re too stupid to realize people are going to recognize Arabic men buying the kinds of phones used by terrorists (sometimes even as detonators) in bulk at Wal-Mart. Either way; stupid.

• It also happened in Dearborn, with two “young Muslim males” (Osama Sobhi Abulhassan and Ali Houssaiky) buying up hundreds of disposable cellphones. Funny how this keeps happening, eh?

• “Peace activist” nutcase Catherine Mayo traipses over to Pakistan and writes anti-American columns in their newspaper, then freaks out on the flight back from London to Washington, peeing in the aisles and muttering incoherently about al-Qaeda. Supposedly, she was only crazy. But she had several prohibited items (a screw driver, matches and a note referring to al-Qaida – WTF?!) on board and the plane had to be evacuated on the tarmac and all the luggage re-inspected by bomb-sniffing dogs.

• A Pakistani woman who had two bottles of liquids which tested positive for explosives was stopped in a West Virginia airport. The entire terminal had to be evacuated. Turns out the bottles were not filled with explosives but did have residue, which is more than a bit curious. Mistake? Or sloppy dry run for a later attack?

• A plane had to make an emergency landing in Italy after the pilot suspects a bomb on board. Turns out to be a hoax; there was a bomb threat written on an airsickness bag. Could be just a sick prank, disinformation, or perhaps a kind of feint.

• And, of course, we’ve got the HUGE foiled plot by several “young Muslim males” of Pakistani descent to blow up a dozen intercontinental airliners bound for the United States.

• And while all this is going on, we’ve got a judge deciding that the NSA should stop listening in on terrorist phone calls. Good timing, isn’t it? While we’ve got jihadist crazies trying to blow up our airliners, let’s make sure to shut down the NSA so they can’t listen in and stop the attacks. Nice. It’s more than a bit odd that the ACLU lawyers who filed the lawsuit (Noel Saleh, Mohammed Abdrabboh, and Nabih Ayad) happened to be Pakistani, too.

Noticing any patterns?

Luckily, our intelligence agencies are.

But frankly, with all the attention currently being placed on our airlines, I wonder if we may be dropping our guard in other areas. If I were to want to hit someone, I’d make damn sure they thought the blow was coming from anywhere other than where it really was…

In the other big news story of this week, we’ve got LOTS more questions about John Mark Karr and the JonBenet Ramsey case. What the hell is going on with this creep? Why would he cop to a murder that he seems to have nothing to do with? I’m wondering what he was doing in Thailand. If he was over there having sex with kids and he got busted, he might be saying anything in order to avoid a lifetime sentence in a Thai jail. So far, his claims about the Ramsey case seem ill-informed. He may simply be a nut who memorized some of the tons of information that’s been revealed about the case of the past decade, and then made up a story. We’ll see…

Now, where’s that sandwich?
