I hereby christen Atman with a new nickname: Idiotman.
"Sorry...if it was a Saudi or Muslim, it would be a headline already."
1. The fact that a Sadi national is a suspect, was detained several hours, and had his house searched IS already a headline.
2. They're waiting for a definite, indesputable confirmation that he did it before really saying anything one way or the other. I'd say that's a good policy.
"They were finding Saudi passports in the streets of NY before the dust settled."
The 9/11 hijackers were on a plane; They needed passports for their travel. A Saudi national who's already there in Boston wouldn't need to keep his passport with him wherever he went; In fact, it's recommended NOT to do so, since a misplaced passport would be paydirt for an identity thief.
"Another thing wrong with this; after 9-11, the evil terrorists just blow up a couple trash cans?"
(Facepalms) Idiot.
1. 9/11 was done by a large, well- organized, well- funded terrorist group. Not all Islamic terrorist groups are as large or well- organized. In fact, most of them aren't. Most Islamic terror attacks against Westerners are done either by individual psychos acting alone, or small groups/ cells.
2. "Just blow up a couple trash cans"? Heartless POS.
3. Using trash cans in such a way is far from unprecedented for Islamic terrorists. For just one example, in December of 2006, a lone Muslim convert radical named Derrick Shareef plotted a terrorist bombing at a mall in Rockford, Illinois, to be carried out the Friday before Christmas (I guess he assumed that was when the mall would be busiest). His planned method of attack? Detonating grenades hidden in trash cans. Fortunately, his plan never came to pass, as he was busted trying to buy the grenades from a dealer who turned out to be an undercover Fed, and he's currently 4 years into serving a 35- year prison sentence. So, yeah, it's not the firt time a Muslim terrorist plot has involved the use of explosives hidden in trash cans.
" It doesn't smell right. It smells like tea."
1. How many times has a Tea Partier launched a terrorist bombing attack, let alone one involving explosives hidden in trash cans? The answer is zero.
2. To quote the film 'Mortal Kombat' (And curse you for driving me to quote a cheesy movie like that), "I smell something: Bulls&&t."
