MLive.com: While [Umar Farouk Abdul] Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, [passenger Kurt Haskell of Newport, Mich.] said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy said, ‘He’s from Sudan and we do this all the time.’”
Mutallab has been afforded our rights by our POTUS. He is an alleged perpetrator of an alleged crime.
From Mark Steyn:
There’s a difference between an alleged suspect (which is what he is is the President’s fantasy) and an enemy combatant (which is what he is in reality). If this were a war, we would question him about who he hooked up with in Yemen, who did he meet with in London, and maybe get a lead on attacks to come. Instead, the authorities, having issued the Knickerbomber a multi-entry visa, having permitted him to board the plane, and having failed to detect his incendiary underwear, now allow him to lawyer up and ensure that we’ll never know who he knew in Yemen or anywhere else.

Like I just said in reply to your comment on my blog…I’ll bet AQ is quaking in their boots with fear that they will be served a summons to come to court.
This is insanity.

That is a fair assessment Nunly. Quaking in their boots.

there’s also a bit from the Fox interview about the arrest of another man on the plane.
didn’t know about the dry run incident with Woods. I sat beside the creepiest Mohammedan on a SanFran to Ft Laud flight in spring 2001. said he had a condo in Hollywood but that was all. very unfriendly. everything about him made me uncomfortable. I know a few practicing Muslim males but none are without a sense of humor even if most are a bit cheuvenistic. that one was just creepy.
CO2 fire extinguishers do no cool flames. they smother them. I would play it safe if putting out explosives & follow up with WATER. that’s what they taught in military fire fighting training schools anyway.
you dig up the best posts McN.

Thanks raging.
I was sitting with several friends and family last night. Some of us had flown the week after 9/11. We distinctly got onto the plane with the determination that we would rather die snuffing out any terrorist than die as being used as a weapon.
I think that there are many who would have snapped this turkey’s neck in an instant. Avoid the pc crap that comes after his capture.

That’s what my husband has said everyday since this happened. He’s proud of the Dutch guy for his quick wittedness, but wishes he would’ve “snapped his neck” as well. I told him he would probably have gotten into huge trouble. Cia would want to keep him alive to interrogate him & barky would want to keep him alive becuz…well…he’s his bro.

I’m proud of him as well. He hasn’t had his knickers knotted to the point where he can’t act.

Absolutely socalannie. I sat with several friends last night who are former law enforcement and each said that they would have finished the job. Yes, Bam would punish that person, but not the “alleged”
