WASHINGTON

Guys - remain vigilant!

Rep. Peter King has named the suspected terrorist who attempted to blow up an Amsterdam to Detroit flight today as "Abdul Mudallad.", according to the AP in an article timestamped 7:04 p.m. EST.

 

King was just on live with CNN talking about the failed terrorist attack, but the CNN anchor cut King off when he started to say the suspect's name and would not allow King to name him. The anchor said CNN was not able to confirm the name.

 

King is the Ranking Member on the House Homeland Security Committee.

 

Citing federal officials, MSNBC is also naming the suspect, but uses a more complete version: "Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab".

Further, early reports are stating he is of Nigerian descent. The materials might have been procured from Yemen (I believe).

I've tried to confirm some of the 'stated facts' and have been unsuccessful thus far.

As reported on the news today, our troops stand down on muslim holidays and are big trouble if they are even accused of doing something to the koran, but they have no problem blowing up an airplane full of, probably, mostly Christian people on Christmas.

 

Now, instead of treating this guy like a terrorist and sweating him through a tough interrogation, they are charging him, giving him a lawyer, and I guess they'll try lollipops and ice cream to get info now.

 

Gotta love the idiots running things now.
