Where's the story about the "Middle Eastern-looking man" driving a truck full of explosives.....
through one of the Carolinas? This was a CNN breaking news alert Saturday night, which just happened to take place while the House was debating FISA.
I haven't heard a peep about it since, which makes me think it was la merde. Has anyone else seen or heard anything?

1. Yes. Two college students, not citizens, right near a former USN nuke weapons base.
The cops found nefarious stuff but the location, by the base, seems insignificant.

3. Thanks for the update, Mookie....
My bullshit-o-meter is always on high alert. At least this one seems to have some conclusion.

4. Middle Eastern looking man: anyone with black hair and a slight tan
which could be a Latin American, Greek, Italian, some Indians, an Asian wearing glasses, or even a Northern European back from a tropical vacation.

Feds said no bomb, state says explosives. Local press conference at 11:30 am today. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/05/highway.closed/index.html#cnnSTCText

8. It's still out there and 'authorities' say the location had nothing to do with the naval base.
I don't know how they know that, but that's what the cops are saying.

Goose Creek used to be a huge nuclear weapons storage facility for the navy. The navy still has a nuke school there and a lot of navy housing.

10. The FBI is yelling loud as they can that it was nothing.
It was nothing. CNN is so damn hopped up to help bush they would go with any thing.
