   Funny how the MSM does not follow up on important stories. Thanks for this update.

   I’m no chemical engineer (tho my FIL is,maybe I’ll ask him) but I do know about gunpowder as I reload.
   PVC seems to be a very poor choice for a pipe bomb,since it wouldn’t contain the pressure & it’s too light to make effective shrapnel.

   More would-be but ultimately dumb-ass terrorists?

   Sorry, I hit the submit key too soon.

   …he says he intended the instruction “to save one who wants to be a martyr for another battle,”

   So, were they trying to spring one of the terrorist from that Naval base?

   I don’t think so. I think the intent was to allow the bomber to survive rather than die in the blast. You know, remote detonation.

   And now we know why the remote control boat one of them bought his little brother is important.

   I agree with you … and as we have learned more I think they were actually heading for a remote spot away from population for a dry run at making and exploding homemade devices … the pvc was just going to become a training version …

   Also, keep in mind that Padilla was already gone when these two showed up speeding. There weren’t any enemy combatants being held in Charleston at the time, at least none that we know of.

   Desert Lover, there are plenty of places near the stop that are isolated and would make perfect practice ranges. I think you’re right. This was a dry run. The real thing was to follow.

   Congratulations to the Berkely County Sherrif’s Office deputy that made this stop and used his training and common sense to prevent a terrorist event.

   Has CIAR bailed on them yet? Dump this student visa “Bullcrap” before some of them are successful. Enough is Enough!!!

   BINGO! This story has been completely buried. You know, except for the obligatory Keith Olbermann (D) ‘This is a non-threat’ coverage.

    A couple of points I picked up locally.

    1. The government does not have any evidence yet to establish intent or motive

    2. Government has recordings of these two speaking in the back of the police cruiser.

    3. 22 calibre rifle with scope found in Fl storage unit.

    4. Laptop history revealed visits to jihad sites, middle east wars, weaponry, and rifles.

    I know this is off topic, but on the Factor just a minute ago Geraldo apologized for his comment about spitting on Michelle! He said he’s sorry about 3 times!

    You won Michelle, he caved! Hahaha.

    Thank God these guys were dumb enough to draw attention to themselves due to their speeding. Its little miracles like this and others (i.e. the Hezbollah Johnny Jihad supporter just caught in Michigan trying to sneak through the woods with his AK-47) that help keep us safe. Enforces my feeling God has not turned his back on those of us that refuse to turn their back on him. Plus he helps those who help themselves, stay vigilant and continue to report suspicious activity John & Jan Does. Just don’t know how much longer we can remain this lucky unless the terrorist wannabes are all this stupid..

    Yeah, Geraldo apologized. Didn’t seem too sincere, but at least he apologized on air.

    I wonder if he apologized in person?

    I too saw “The Coward’s” apology and I did not think it was genuine. He even made a point at the end to state that he did not agree with Michelle on anything. I also though Bill was too easy on him, but at least he did say he was sorry on the air. That’s better than nothing.

    One of them has been given bail by the judge down here. HERE

    I hope they pulled his passport, but then again, he can escape via our porous borders, North and South!

    Now Now Michelle you are not suggesting these “young boys” are terrorists are you? I know that Chertoff is sure they are not and he is a man “of honor”…snark off……..Hang em!

    I didn’t catch it but I’m guessing it was actually one of those weasely non-apologies.

    The idea of bail for terrorists is insane. What are they thinking? Or not thinking?

    Thanks for the followup Michelle. Now I very curious or did I miss it, about the multiple food chain stores that had bomb threats all over the country. What ever happened to that story? Someone know?

    “to save one who wants to be a martyr for another battle”,or maybe the 72 virgins idea is just a lie concocted by a psychotic Death-cult leader.But then again I could be wrong.

    Purpledeep sounds to me the judge is one of those 9/10 people and won’t get it ever. At least until he/she feels the blade on the back of his/her neck and finds out the true meaning of the ROP. The kid on bail will light out for either border like a scalded cat and you think Norman Hsu is a flight risk. Our Legal system is broke beyond repair.

    I don’t think it’s beyond repair, but it is in need of a major overhaul.

    Yeah, he “apologized” 3 times, but each and every time was qualified with at least two more vicious jabs at Michelle. That, in my book, is nowhere near a sincere apology!

    And in addition, Bill O contributed to the weakness of it by saying, “It hurt her feelings.” Hurt her feelings, indeed! It was a direct insult and a threat,
