Two men of Middle Eastern descent found in cab of truck at Miami port...
Breaking news on FOX...

The driver of the tractor-trailer was stopped and all of his papers were in order, but the authorities were still suspicious...Then they found two men in the sleeper cab of the truck? What were they planning? Why were they there? Were there more people involved? Stay tuned for updates all day long...

3. Tape?
Where did I put my tape? I hope I didn't use it to mail packages. I can't believe how stupid that would be, to die because I used my tape instead of having it handy.

5. What's the big deal?
I don't get it.

Is it against the law for passengers of a motor vehicle to be of Middle Eastern decent now?

--p!

7. Apparently, they had several mysterious documents entitled 'Manifest' or 'Manifesto'...
They are covered with numbers and lists of material goods, some of which are potentially 'dual use', and are believed to be in some sort of code.

12. Two men were found in a truck carrying papers and maps. How frightening.
Of course, papers and maps could be found in most cars or trucks at any time, anywhere. However since these were two men who appeared to be of "Middle East descent".........Eeeeeeeeeek!!

14. Geez...I wish MSM would get their act together.
Edited on Sun Jan-07-07 02:13 PM by Contrary1
MSNBC: "...The men, all of Middle Eastern descent, were in this country legally."

CNN: "The cargo section of the Port of Miami is closed after three people, two of them inside a truck, tried to enter the port illegally, federal law enforcement sources say."

17. Always Thought Season Two Of 'The Wire' Should Of Ended

With the Feds sweeping in, arresting Nick and Ziggy Sobotka on flimsy and misinterpreted evidence, and trumpeting the arrest as rolling up an 'American Taliban' cell.

26. Well, he's worried about being called up for the "surge".
Nothing like having those rectal problems that kept him from being drafted ready to go.

20. CNN reported that two were Iraqis and one Lebanese
Edited on Sun Jan-07-07 02:33 PM by bidiboom
The truck entered the port illegally. The two passengers were in the cargo container on the truck.

On edit:
Now they only say Middle Eastern origin and no further details.

21. Oh. Good. God. How convenient! Another "terrorist scare" just
days before Bush is going to make his push for more troops in his "war".

I'm so sick of this.

37. But, but, but,
it's because the Democrats are in charge. Remember all through the mid term campaigning from the gop that the Democrats were for the terrorists.

I thought back then that maybe they (the gop) would actually have something in the "works" if they lost the election.
Looks to me that maybe they are going ahead with their threats.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't put anything past these evil bastards.....
