If you and Nad expect me to believe there is some degree of competence in

if you do work for the security of your country, you must be crappy at your

limited. Every nation has it own search parameters. Try the US Google

I live in Michigan, Dearborn Michigan has the highest number of Muslims

and the electronic searches of the supermarkets.

If your looking for information beyond the Internet, that's it, accept it

it is a myth here in the US.

Prepared Hummus purchased by middle east folks does not make sense to
me. So easy to make with so many options. Guess crazy is about in

Fav Hummus

cup cooked chickpeas or others


1/4 cup bean juice
3/4 cup Tahini
Juice of two lemons
1 T Soy Sauce
2 T Olive Oil
1 to 3 Cloces garlic

I'd monitor Garlic or lemon users along with sesame seed purchases.

It is all old news. Over the years there is just so much fear out there at
some point one will go nuts or say I no longer care. They track me so what.
If they want to know what I eat and do, I no longer care. My main goal in
life is to enjoy life and it not run from it. I will say what I want, eat
what I want, do what I want until someone says I cannot do the things I do.
When I get to that bridge, I will have to analyze then to comply or
resist.

Thanks Billy. That article says much the same as every other thing I've
managed to find out on this - the only 'factual' bit is the mention of a few
names. There is no report of arrests of hundreds of people anywhere.

Just because someone comes up with a 'bright' idea doesn't mean it'll fly. I
still have grave doubts that it did fly but it may have glided for a short
distance till it went further up the bureacratic dung heap till it got to
Mason who had enough sense to see it was a crock of an idea.

Most of those are rounded up and held for weeks were not technically
arrested and many unrelated to hummus food search. However there were many
methods used to round up the people. Hummus was just one of many techniques
used to find people and held in custody without a lawyer, judge, trail or
jury.

This is it for me, no more postings from me on this topic. Accept it or
not. No skin off my nose.

Not just you, we ARE screwed! Detroit is already in Mad Max Times. United
States is collapsing in a domino fashion. One forth of the high rise
buildings in downtown detroit are vacant and falling apart. Their are many
square miles of empty burned out vacant homes in Detroit. Gangs rules many
parts of that city. There are hardly any police, fire or ambulance services
there. Last year when I worked in a city near Detroit, I could here gun
fire and sirens every night across across the infamous eight mile road.
Sometimes i heard fully automatic gun fire across that border. Their are
murders almost everyday in that city. I found the super bowl ad of that
Chrysler commercial humous with the imported from Detroit message.

It seems that many communities are laying off essential services, police,
fire and ambulance services across the country. With high unemployment,
fuel prices and food prices and with no hope in sight of changing. Now that
I am retired, I go no where, just to the market and back. I have my escape,
my gardens, my animals and my books in the country, I love where I am at.

"NEW YORK, Sep 27, 2010 (IPS) - Hundreds of people who believe they were
falsely detained and imprisoned by the Department of Justice in the wake
of the Sep. 11, 2001 attacks are now seeking redress through the U.S.
courts. . .

Despite the fact that the government never charged any of them with a
terrorism-related offence, immigration authorities kept the men in
detention for up to eight months, long past the resolution of their
immigration cases, according to attorneys at the Center for
Constitutional Rights, which brought the class action on behalf of the
plaintiffs. . . "

Contrasted with

House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the
World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties by Craig Unger
http://www.amazon.com/House-Bush-Sau...es/dp/07432533
96/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1296239042&sr=1-1
(available at better libraries near you)

CHAPTER ONE
The Great Escape
p.10

.. . . the Saudis had at least two of the planes on call to
repatriate the bin Ladens. One of them began picking up family members
all across the country. Starting in Los Angeles on an undetermined
date, it flew first to Orlando, Florida, where Khalil Binladin, a sibling
of Osama bin Laden's, boarded.37 From Orlando, the plane continued
to Dulles International Airport outside Washington, before going on
to Logan Airport in Boston on September 19, picking up members of
the bin Laden family along the way.

.. . . "I recall getting into a big flap with Bandar's office about
whether they would leave without us knowing who was on the plane," said
one former agent who participated in the repatriation of the Saudis.38
"Bandar wanted the plane to take off and we were stressing that that
plane was not leaving until we knew exactly who was on it."

p.11

In the end, the FBI was only able to check papers and identify
everyone on the flights. In the past, the FBI had been constrained from
arbitrarily launching investigations without a "predicate"—i.e., a
strong reason to believe that an individual had been engaged in criminal
activities. Spokesmen for the FBI assert that the Saudis had every
right to leave the country.

p.12

The FBI'S counterterrorism unit should have been a leading force in the
domestic battle against terror, but here it was not even going to
interview the Saudis.

p.13

Thousands of people had just been killed by Osama bin Laden. Didn't
it make sense to at least interview his relatives and other Saudis who,
inadvertently or not, may have aided him?

.. . . In an ordinary murder investigation, it is commonplace to interview
relatives of the prime suspect. When the FBI talks to subjects during an
investigation, the questioning falls into one of two categories. Friendly
subjects are "interviewed" and suspects or unfriendly subjects are
"interrogated." How did the Saudis get a pass?

.. . . national security experts found it hard to believe that no
one in the entire extended bin Laden family had any contact whatsoever
with Osama. "There is no reason to think that every single mem-

p.14

ber of his family has shut him down," said Paul Michael Wihbey, a fellow
at the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies.

.. . . How is it possible that Saudis were allowed to fly even when all of
America, FBI agents included, was grounded? Had the White House
approved the operation—and, if so, why?

.. . . When Bandar arrived at the White House on Thursday, September 13,
2001, he and President Bush retreated to the Truman Balcony, . . .

p.15

.. . . the two men each lit up a Cohiba and began to discuss how they
would work together in the war on terror. Bush said that the United
States would hand over any captured Al Qaeda operatives to the Saudis if
they would not cooperate. The implication was clear: the Saudis could
use any means necessary- including torture—to get the suspects to talk.
----

Unknown Arabs arrested. Bin Laden family allowed fly away without FBI
interviews. Mission Accomplished.


Not just you, we ARE screwed! Detroit is already in Mad Max Times. United
States is collapsing in a domino fashion. One forth of the high rise
buildings in downtown detroit are vacant and falling apart. Their are many
square miles of empty burned out vacant homes in Detroit. Gangs rules many

fire and sirens every night across across the infamous eight mile road.
Sometimes i heard fully automatic gun fire across that border. Their are
murders almost everyday in that city. I found the super bowl ad of that
Chrysler commercial humous with the imported from Detroit message.

It seems that many communities are laying off essential services, police,
fire and ambulance services across the country.
Wait 'till they'er privatized, and need to make work.

With high unemployment,
fuel prices and food prices and with no hope in sight of changing. Now that
I am retired, I go no where, just to the market and back. I have my escape,
my gardens, my animals and my books in the country, I love where I am at.
The world can rot!

I got my masion. Go get your own? That's a bit harsh.

And those 3 names given, and which are as close as I can get to any 'facts'
about humus buyer targetting, are the same ones mentioned everywhere and are
probably also all from exactly the same 'source'.

There just is not enough 'evidence' to claim that anything of the sort
happened.

LOL. That isn't saying a lot Billy. Americans seem to be more paranoid
about their own government than any other group of people on earth except
for those of the old Soviet Union - perhaps a hang over them the 1950s
