Friendly advice to young Black, Latino, and Middle-Eastern
ethnic background males: do NOT make any new friends, particularly those who like to talk down about our current government, or who seem "overzealous" about the war, 9/11, Osama, or anything else related to this mess we're in. Do not decide that this is the time to form a club, or breakfast buddy group. You are on someone's radar screen the moment any two of you are gathered in the name of political or social issues. This is America, though many of us can hardly believe it.

1. And especially don't join any groups who plan to blow up buildings.
That'll get you in trouble in just about any country, not just this one.

2. You mean like the KKK has a history of doing? Right to Lifers and
the Skin Heads. Funny how none of those groups have hit the radar yet.

4. Uh, I think the FBI does also go after those people.

5. My point is they don't arrest entire groups of those people. If they did
then we would be seeing raids every day and I think they could make a very good case right now using the logic of the 7 in Miami that just associating with or in a group like this makes you a terrorism suspect. Because these groups have been known to commit acts of home grown terrorism.

8. Is it better for the FBI to err on the side of caution? If they'd done
that in 2000 and 2001, they'd have nailed at least a couple of the 9/11 hijackers.

If these guys are innocent, they should be let go. Bit if a group tells an FBI informant that they want to blow up buildings, they need to be gotten off the streets, at least until it's determined if they're serious or not.

9. Who is going to determine if they are innocent? You seriously
think that 7 blacks with no money will have the resources to mount any kind of defense if they are innocent? There are some serious issue with case coming to light to include that it was the FBI informant who suggested that they blow up buildings with money and equipment he would provide to them. And if the FBI should err on the side of caution as you suggest then why in the hell aren't they out arresting in mass those groups I mentioned earlier.... I mean if they are innocent they can certainly let them go one at a time.

10. They certainly SHOULD be hauling in those other groups.
And as far as no money...how much money did McVeigh have?

11. Well McVeigh could at least afford to buy the supplies he needed, rent
a truck and at least a car. These guys couldn't even afford boots for 7 people.

13. But did we really need the overblown press conference?
And I think 9/11 was an inside job.

12. Yes, and remember CITIZENS ...
Every time a pseudo-Muslim Al Quaeda informant entraps poor Muslim Black Men into a Terra Plot, an FBI Agent scores a promotion and the number of incarcerated prisoners at your local Military Base increases. :applause: :woohoo: :sarcasm:

It's just another beautiful plan that increases the power of The Imperial Presidency. :puke:
