This guy was probably recruited by extremeist Islamists while in prison in Vermont. I hope the bigger picture is being looked at. They need to go to the Vermont prison and see who this guy was associated with in prison and see if there are any ties that might lead us to other members of a cell. The fact that he fled to this area and then had bomb making instructions on a camera, as well as materials does not sound coincidental here. This seems to be organized. The question is by who and are there other associations involved. This guy could be a lead to something bigger, and somebody needs to do some real police work here. This is no time to be politically correct.

"The NC WMD statute has been on the books defining saw off shotguns and the like since the 60's or maybe 70's. It is not an abuse of language or trump up charges, it is the statutes that have been on the book for decades." subanitov

That may be true. My point that Iraq was littered with WMDs is also true. Bush was right for invading Iraq.

"IAK...please turn off your TV and do some research on 9/11. They attacked us because of our military base on their holy land. They told us that. Bush removed them. They didnt attack us because we are free and prosperous. 15 of the hijackers were Saudis"

You're 100% right. But don't forget to add that we "armed" who/what would become the terrorists back in the 80's when they were fighting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. So in a way, 9/11 is a remnant of the Cold War.

poltically motivated is slowly being removed from that defintion a terrorist. Now its anyone who does something that makes you nervous. -Crumps Br0ther

Or kills people for no good reason.

The legal definition of "terrorist".......

"the term terrorism means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents"

IAK...please turn off your TV and do some research on 9/11. They attacked us because of our military base on their holy land. They told us that. Bush removed them. They didnt attack us because we are free and prosperous. 15 of the hijackers were Saudi;s,.

I'd like to see a link on that, cause what political gain were the 9/11 terrorists planning on?

Their only motive was to kill as many of us as they could and strike terror in the hearts of the rest of us. Iak Hsehpen February 27, 2013 5:54 p.m. Report abuse

They told us. Remove our military base off the Saudi's holy land. Bush moved them right after 9/11. Thats pretty political.

I believe the law now calls pipe bombs and the like as WMD. "It's an unfortunate abuse of the language. According to this definition, Bush was absolutely right to invade Iraq because WMDs killed and mamed thousands of our fighting men and women!" timexliving

Actually the WMD statute in NC long pre-dates Iraq and George Bush. The NC WMD statute has been on the books defining saw off shotguns and the like since the 60's or maybe 70's. It is not an abuse of language or trump up charges, it is the statutes that have been on the book for decades.

whomever let this dude out of vermont, should now be sitting in a cell next to him.
