Report: Arrest Made In Times Square Bombing
— DrewM

Shahzad Faisal is apparently the genius who used his own email account to set up the buy. Sometimes you get lucky that evil bastards are stupid.

Sounds like a home grown guy. He's of Pakistani heritage but sounds like he was born and raised in CT (FNC says he's a naturalized citizen). Arrested ~~on LI~~ at JFK. No word about his stance on Arizona's immigration law or his political donations.

Congrats to the NYPD, FBI and the whole NY JTTF.

Heads up from Andy Levy.

don't forget they tried to say it was a middle aged white guy, trying to move to lack of support teabaggers, not supportive of Obamas statists moves.

they tried and failed, keep our heads on straight, it's a tough time, don't let them draw blood from our side.

14 Batchelor's guest is saying he got two emails today instructing him to go to some website where he found various video tapes. They created the website one day before the attack and uploaded the video from massood..one day before the attack???? seriously???

At bill raggio's long war journal site there are links to the video..

And here I figured it was a Mormon inspired by Glenn Beck's radical Mormonism.

With a name like Shahzad Faisal we know he isn't a tea partier, since those KKK white sheet wearing clowns would never let any dark skinned person with a funny name in.

36 I'm watching MSNBC, the rerun of Chris Matthews show where he is repeatedly asking Roger Cressey if the bomber could be a right wing anti-government guy, this was at 5pm when we knew the FBI was reporting it was a Pakistani, after Cressey said he didn't think so, Chrissy looked sad, then MSNBC news breaks in with the live coverage, oh how the left were praying it was a Tea Party member.

48 The commenters CD and Chumwumba at zero hedge say "false flag" operation over and over and over again.

They believe that the financial system is sooooo far gone, that a world war consisting of major human casualty is the only thing that will bring back a semblance of stability. Consequently, the need to orchestrate a longer war against Pakistan, Terrorism, Iran , Europe anything, ANYTHING, to blow the system up and get it back to ground zero is of primary import. This goes toward finding the "terrorist Pakistani Taliban" culpable to further the false flag descent into WWIII. OMG!! in otherwords. But, BUT, Its really Israel and the Mossad!!

It, in otherwords, is Goldman's fault.

Just thought I'd point all this out, in case you might frequent the joint and wonder what others think.

Oh, already done. Frankly, if it were Bush, he would have been Mirandized also. What the lefties forget is that there is a difference between being on US soil and captured here and being captured overseas engaging in warfare against American soldiers and brought to nominal US soil (Gitmo) in chains.

Unless you're a stupid lefty. Or a hippie.

That's like banning boxcutters after 9/11.

We all know that the next time they won't make the same mistakes, so it just doesn't matter.

Same principle as leaving the engineering floorplans of sensitive sites online. the REALLY bad guys already have them, just let the incometents have at it.

I don't think they commonly arrest people leaving the country.

Now you need a passport...

Yes you need a passport to go to Mexico for the DAY!

Coming back with your head attached seems optional.

I mean, beyond all the nanny state stuff, this shithead either 1) honestly thinks that the Tea Party movement would try to blow up a private, non-government building due to anger with health care socialization, thus demonstrating absolutely no grasp of the real dangers facing the city and the nation at large or 2) knows how idiotic that conclusion is, but says it anyway in order to score political media lick-lick points.

Either way, that is horrifying.

236 You've confused "natural born' with "naturalized". A "natural born" U.S. citizen is someone born in the U.S. A "naturalized" U.S. citizen is someone born somewhere OTHER than the U.S. who has been granted citizenship, on grounds that MUST include a period of established peaceful i.e. not criminal residency, plus the swearing of an official oath to uphold U.S. laws, and MAY include allegiance or loyalty to the U.S. over whatever country the person was born in, mostly depending on whether that birth country is listed among U.S. allied nations or U.S. occupied or controlled areas, including renouncing any claims to citizenship in that foreign country. The confusion can get even worse when the person is someone born to American citizens but outside the U.S. yet on U.S.-controlled or occupied areas whose parents have been assigned or ordered to reside outside the U.S. pursuant to official duties -- like Senator John McCain. McCain was born is Panama, but his parents were both natural born citizens and his father was a U.S. Navy officer assigned there. That all would qualify McCain to citizenship on a variety of grounds, but not natural birth. The year after McCain was born, Congress passed an act 'deeming' persons born in the circumstances that McCain was born to be the 'equivalent' of natural born, but that bill has never been litigated on the issue of whether it's provisions operate retrospectively, i.e. backwards to apply to those such as McCain. So: whatever this guy's involvement, and whatever was the basis for his being granted naturalization as a American, he is NOT a natural born citizen i.e. NOT born in the U.S. The fact -- if it is a fact -- that he is 'naturalized' means that if it were to turn out that he'd sworn a fatwa on the U.S. would mean he could have his rights of U.S. citizenship taken away, except by an act of Congress, and even then only on the basis as part of non-individualized categorical withdrawal of citizenship. This has been done in the past, for example to U.S. born Chinese and later to U.S. born Filipinos; but the point is, it wasn't targeted at any individual, rather it was targeted at all members of a defined group. Typical reasons for why someone born in another country being a naturalized citizen versus an ordinary garden variety foreign-born citizen include having both parents as U.S. citizens at the time of birth, particularly if they are normally U.S. residents and only in the foreign country where the birth took place on vacation. It's typical for Pakistani-Americans to travel to Pakistan for weddings and the births of their children, especially when one or both the married persons were born in Pakistan -- and they are far from alone in this, nor is the phenomenon limited to Pakistanis or Muslims or U.S. citizens with ties to the Central and Middle Eastern regions.

245 Yes, Fox is reporting he is a "naturalized" citizen and was on his way to Pockistan where he had a wife. That indicates to me that he most likely had dual citizenship.

My Comprehensive Immigration Reform^TM would have prevented this on two scores, first it would have prohibited ANY immigration from countries on the terror watch list and second, it would not allow anyone with dual citizenship.

263 They are having a press conference now in Bridgeport CT.

She just said they were there to conduct a search and they wanted to make sure that everyone was safe and the public is safe and that is why they executed the search warrant. She said she cannot say anything more at this time. She said Holder issued a statement and further statements will be issued later in the day.

Posted by: curious at May 04, 2010 12:52 AM (p302b)

264 The reporter said the bridgeport police has secured the area and then the FBI came in 12 cars with 5 people in each car and a big white forensics unit and did what they had to do and gave the press conference. The reporter said something about him living in this house with a roommate but didn't say if the roommate was in the house or whatever. She was really concerned with making sure everyone was safe...that was basically her message.

CNN is standing by their storey....Jean Masserve is saying that she was told by someone that "it was so close the jetway had already been pulled away". so either Batchelor and ABC are wrong or CNN is wrong. But ol jean is hunkering down and sticking to her story so my bet is that CNN is right and ABC is all wet..

265 Just wanted to add that several years ago I was a baggage handler (great college job BTW), and wanted to add that the whole "jetway was pulled back, caught him at the last second" story is nonsense.

There were three occasions I can remember where Feds were waiting for someone at the airport and specifically let them board the plane and pull away before making the arrest. I don't know why but it was SOP.

Once they even let the plane take off. Guy was smuggling drugs - the DEA searched the bag in the terminal before I trucked it to the plane and it had 4 kilos in it. I thought "cool, get to watch a take-down", but the DEA agent told me to make sure it got on the right plane and that DEA agents were awaiting him in Miami where they could add additional trafficking charges.

267 @266 curious-

There's no question the plane, Emirates 202, left the gate and returned. You can hear JFK Tower quickly recall the plane in the archives at liveatc.net. I'm not allowed to directly link to it under the website's rules, but if you go to http://liveatc.net/archive.php, select May 4 on the calendar, "KJFK Tower" in the dropdown next to "Select a Feed" and "0300-0330 Zulu" in the dropdown next to "Select a time (GMT/UTC)", the JFK Tower audio from around 11:30PM last night will come up.

Around 1/4 of the way in, the tower first instructs Emirates 202 to get in position for takeoff, then quickly tells the pilot to disregard that, make a left and return to the gate.

The only question is whether the suspect was still on the plane or it returned to the gate out of caution to check out the other passengers. In his statement, AG Holder claimed the suspect "was taken into custody at JFK Airport in New York as he attempted to board a flight to Dubai." Yet the Washington Post is still reporting that the plane was heading toward the runway with Faisal Shahzad on board.

Posted by: cinyc at May 04, 2010 01:19 AM (S9528)

They do not know what they are doing anymore. They are PC, and politically motivated at catching as many domestic white men as possible. Even ones who didn't plan an attack are arrested, while revolutionislam.com has a permit to protest outside the building they just threatened to kill people in... and no one notices the bomb until it's already smoking.

277 but let's face it: these guys are doing a terrible job protecting us.

One of the Fox security contributors said the same thing and he specifically blamed it on Obama because they were not carrying the fight to the [foreign] terrorists. His major point was that this and the underwear bomber were BOTH failures. In both cases the bomb failed to detonate because it was put together wrong. Not because of any kind of good "police work".

Believe it or not the asshole who was some kind of law enforcement dude who was on the phone at the time said he disagreed (rather vehemently). He said this was home grown terrorism like OK city and the beltway sniper. This because the guy was a naturalized citizen. Trouble is he was a Pakistani who had been naturalized just last year. IOW he came here to infiltrate and do this shit.

Watch that be the meme from the Obamanites now. Although it is not a teabagger its home grown because the guy is a "citizen".

What a blog. I hadn't read it in a while, but Daily Beast is pretty damn nasty. Bunch of kooky commenters whining about Faux News without actually naming any specific problems, some idiot sweating the USA gave Iraq WMDs, and a bunch of people cheering Ahmedinijad and complaining that Bush said he was evil.

But what's really cute is how so many of them keep pointing out that the system worked great and they are so thankful for all the 'invisible' ones who protect us from terrorism. Same folks who bash Bush, in that very thread, for his much better record on this issue, are thanking Obama's feds for their third massive terrorist attack they let slip through to American soil. No one seems to mind that Obama's people are focused like a laser on tea party grandmas and pretending the threat from actual terrorism isn't a big deal. The idea that this attack on Times Square would be a logical attack against the US Government rather than the US in general is so ignorant, too.

Anyway, they seem to actually love Ahmedinijad. "sure, he's a murderer, but he's right" and then a bunch of 'Why is the USA so much better than Iran, why would Israel need nuclear weapons but Iran can't have any?'.

Good idea, although I dunno if you can legally do it.

The terrorists are great in gaming our system, even though it's real easy to do.

305 Bloomberg should be out of a job this morning. As someone noted above, his bizarre proclamation last night revealed either a coward, a fool or the most opportunistic pol in history. After decades of watching his City's citizens targeted and slaughtered by Muslim terrorists, the first thing that occurs to Bloomberg is that this attack was due to health care opponents? Whether he was saying it solely to vilify his opposition or out of fear of the actual terrorists is beyond me. But he has made it quite clear that he lacks both the wisdom and the courage to remain Mayor. While Bloomy has been loudly pretending to serve his citizens, Islamic terrorists have been reloading for another run at his people. Hopefully by the time they get there, there's a new man in charge.

316 Just saw this article posted at Verum Serum.

Laura Bush suspected poisoning at G8 summit

In her memoir Â“Spoken From the Heart,Â” Bush said that she and her husband fell violently ill on the second day of the summit in the exclusive Baltic Sea resort.
Â“Exceedingly alarmed, the Secret Service went on full alert, combing the resort for potential poisons,Â” wrote Bush according to the news website Politico. Â“The overriding fear was that terrorists had gotten control of a dangerous substance and planted it at the resort.Â”n addition to the president and his wife, other members of the US delegation became ill, including one staff member who suffered permanent hearing loss.

No poison was ever found, but sounds suspicious.

The comments show the typical leftist class. Such as:"I wish this had been reported at the time of the incident. It would have given many hope for the future..."

Pretty much sums up my feelings. I'm sick of all the bike lanes that make it no less dangerous to ride a bicycle here. All the new one-way streets to keep the traffic along waterways at a minimum and keep his developer friends happy. Public spaces are poorly maintained. Access to anything decent means you're buying a ticket, even if it's Shakespeare in the Park (which is supposed to be free to the public.) The city is strapped for cash, and you have the very rich -- what's left of them -- and a lot of people dependent on government.

Spit. I don't think there's a damn thing the least bit funny about that. First, because he uses his own daughters as set-ups. Second, using weapons against American citizens to enforce some sort of morality (though freely practiced the last time a Democrat was in the White House - see Waco, TX for details) and hardly the least bit funny.

That was the oddest "joke" I have heard out of Washington. Not only did the Indonesian Imbecile use his young daughters as a set-up, but that he dragged the Jonas brothers into it for no reason, at all. After all, who the hell would have any interest in his daughters, anyway. I think this was a retarded attempt to do a joke like Scott Brown did about his daughters, but Brown's joke was obviously in good fun, his daughters are grown up and hot, and Scott Brown didn't drag anyone else into that. If I were the Jonas brothers, I'd sue for defamation.

I thought the Indonesian Imbecile's whole routine at the neo-Pravda dinner was as lame as one could imagine. I don't know what anyone thought was funny about any of it.

389 Bloomberg just announced that fuzzy foreigners are what make New York City the best city on Earth. Not Americans. Foreigners.

New York deserves whatever they get, having elected this pathetically stupid turd.

390 287 The Daily Beast just said he's glad they arrested and read this guy his rights and isn't treating this as "some kind of battle between good and evil in Times Square". One of the things brought out this morning was that they did NOT read him his rights. Apparently if there is a danger to the public they don't have to stop and take the time to do that. They can do it later. Posted by: Vic at May 04, 2010 07:07 AM (QrA9E) Hollywood has given people curious notions about Miranda. Protip: Miranda doesn't even apply until a custodial interrogation occurs. All that crap you see in movies or TV shows about a suspect getting Mirandized immediately after the cuffs are put on? Real life doesn't work like that. Only when a suspect is 1. in custody and 2. an interrogation is about to begin does he have to be Mirandized.

391 As usual, Ace was right.

"Amateur" applies to Naturalized US Citizens from Pakistan and Arabia on their first cowardly tries to terrorize America committing Muslim mayhem and murder on passers by in public city streets.

Kudos that the FBI got the plane to turn around with the culprit(s).

Exactly what was promised the terrorists to get them to immediately spill their beans? Immunity.

Whereas, a bird in hand is worth more than 3 in the bush.

Agree. I don't find the drone part offensive, but his daughters are, like, EIGHT YEARS OLD, and that's just disgusting. I don't have much use for the Jonas Brothers, but I'm fairly sure they're not pedophiles.

393 Kudos that the FBI got the plane to turn around with the culprit(s).

From what one of the LEOs said last night they had agents on the plane and allowed him to board purposely. They wanted to see if he had any accomplices with him on the plane.

There was never any possibility that the plane would have actually left.

From stuff Hollywood does involving things I am familiar with they never get ANYTHING right. All this ignorance yet most people get all of their historical and scientific education from them.

Not to counting the afor-mentioned legal knowledge.

395 Of all the asshat words people have latched onto, first in commercials and then in political ads and finally in punditry, DESERVE takes the cake and eats it, too.

Since even advertisers have shied away from glibly repeating "deserve" in commercials since the economy's belly up, only the slowest learner imbeciles repeat the word "deserve"--that "they" or "we" deserve what they/we get.

I don't "deserve" paying for illegal aliens to get a free ride to organize crime in the US. I certainly don't "deserve" Obama in the Oval Office, having fought against his authoritarian Marxism since he first flirted to enter the potus campaign. But I don't bitch with the phrase using "deserve" because the only means of combating our corrupt government is in upholding the Constitution and DEMANDING that ALL government officials be held accountable for conducting their duties according to the Constitution and their OFFICIAL job description, NOT accepting the status quo of corruption.

If NY or even the bastardly San Francisco gets bombed or terrorized, the rest of us are directly affected, PARTICULARLY in the response that the rest of us must assume.

WE PAY FOR WHAT OTHERS "DESERVE".

"I was building a house. I don't deserve to die like this." William Munny got it right, "Deserve's got nothing to do with it." Unforgiven, "I'll see you in hell." "Yeah. I'm gonna kill any man I see out there. Any man takes a shot at me, I'm gonna kill him, his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down. Nobody better shoot."

That was the oddest "joke" I have heard out of Washington.

In true Obama style, the joke was all about himself. Let's analyze:

Kevin Jonas is married and Joe is in a relationship, so this remark must be directed at Nick, the youngest. Nick is not only a member of Jonas Brothers; he's also the frontman for his own band called Nick Jonas and the Administration. The band, you see, is an Administration (capital A) but it isn't Obama's, so the president feels threatened by a competitor, by someone who had the audacity to put together his own Administration.

Besides, the Constitution only provides for one Executive Branch, and Obama has a sworn duty to command the military in its defense.

+1, mm. I've been saying that for years.

(FAULT, when used to assign culpability, takes second place.)

Progressoverpeace ..., after watching those fat blowhards, Charlie Rangel and Sheila Jackson Lee, demagoguing the immigration illegal aliens issue at a rally organized by Communist Latino labor union members in NYC televised on C-Span last night, and after watching with contempt and with disgust as moronic Latino labor union leaders spouted their vitriolic threats to take over the USA and to take it back from the white people who stole it from their ancestors, I'm almost, though not quite tempted yet to reconsider your ideas about inciting an insurrection by white people.

With Obama in the White House now and with the Black Caucus controlling the House Of Representatives, those damned fools are drunk with power, suffering from a delusion that they are now in charge. What assholes.
