U.S. Charges Suspect in Attempted Terrorist Attack on Plane
Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab was charged Saturday in a federal criminal complaint with the willful attempt to destroy an aircraft Friday on its final approach to Detroit Metropolitan Airport and with placing a destructive device on the aircraft. According to an affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint, Mr. Abdulmutallab had a device attached to his body. As the flight was approaching Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Mr. Abdulmutallab set off the device, resulting in a fire and what appears to have been an explosion.

According to the complaint, a preliminary F.B.I. analysis found that the device contained PETN, also known as pentaerythritol, a high explosive. "Further analysis is ongoing," the statement said. "In addition, F.B.I. agents recovered what appear to be the remnants of the syringe from the vicinity of Abdulmutallab's seat, believed to have been part of the device." Despite his injuries, Mr. Abdulmutallab was scheduled to be in court later in the day.

Why would anyone wanting real news read the NY Times?

Snowblower II, it's the story, not what news agency came out with it. Get it?

We has a slight case of ADD.

The NY Times has zero credibility.

If you want anyone other than your friend Mike to take a story seriously I suggest you use a different source. Otherwise you're post will be questioned and probably ignored.

Yeah right.

Drudge is more accurate than the NY Times.

[Kramer]

Yeah right.

Drudge is more accurate than the NY Times.

Drudge doesn't write anything they are a site with links to stories. Rather than taking the NY Times word for it Drudge offers many options. For example if you go to Drudge now you might find 3 different stories on the terrorist attempt to blow up that plane yesterday.

I doubt that any account will be very accurate until all the facts are in and released about who the guy is and what those around him think of him. Right now, it is bound to be all rumors and speculation.

It takes time for a story like this one, involving a guy who is being interrogated, to be made coherent.

As if what the NY Times said was controversial. Lol, you gotta laugh.

Say, Snowblower II, great post on Chester. That's how you stimulate intellectually invigorating conversation. You know BT and how he loves fair play.

BTW, are Kramer, Rich, and the snowblower, competing to see who can lower the content of this forum the furthest? I'd say we got a horse race.

Nobody said it was controversial.

Anyone who's been paying attantion for at least the past ten years knows the New York Times is nothing but a liberal rag spitting out the liberal party bile. Given it's track record it would be wiser to quote a different source.

Simple as that.

[BT]

BT has nothing to do with your spats with the various other members of this forum and their spats with you.

I'll get involved if and when i choose to get involved. Fair enough!

>>BTW, are Kramer, Rich, and the snowblower, competing to see who can lower the content of this forum the furthest? I'd say we got a horse race.<,

I'm not sure why you'd say somethin like that. I've tried to be polite.

If you find it to difficult to deal with people who disagree with you, you might want to consider watching some football or something that might not tax your brain too much.

[BSB]

I was just trying to live up to your strong sense of fair play, BT. I know how important that is to you.
