FBI Shoots Down Vegas Cell Phone Story
 
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A man who told the FBI that he overheard a cell phone conversation about a possible Fourth of July terrorist attack in Las Vegas is "not credible," the FBI said late Friday. <BR>FBI Special Agent Daron Borst told CNN the probe was "substantially complete" after agents spent four and a half hours questioning Michael Hamdan and giving him a polygraph test Friday. Borst declined to discuss results of the test or elaborate further about the investigation. <BR>

The guy said last night on CNN himself that he failed the poly. but the story is still true. Don't believe him. But I'm still a little worried as I live here.

I always sensed he was looking for, and he got, his 15 mintues of fame. I hope this is a punishable offense.

Maybe we are putting out so much information and mis-information that we are totally confusing terrorists who may be operating here in the U.S.<BR><BR>If you are a terrorist here in the U.S. maybe you should start to worry. Maybe we know all about your activities. Maybe your beloved Osama is dead and that is why you haven't heard from him? When was the last time you got a check in the mail from Al-Queerda? When will someone be coming to your house to take you out in the middle of the night. Sleep well mr. Arab-man.

<BR>I’m not the only one who’s noticed that the heightened terrorist threat alerts usually coincide with heightened scrutiny of the administration in the press, am I?<BR><BR>Let's hope there's nothing to this story, and that the Bush administration doesn't blow it again.<BR>Unfortunately, the story sounds credible enough that it should be checked out, not dismissed.<BR><BR><BR>

Do you know this is Gay Pride Month? Why do you think it is funny to make a derogatory play-of-word which incorporates a pejorative? Gay people have pretty tough skins because we live every single day of our lives dealing with thoughtless people. Still, that does not make the insidious homophobic responses that are becoming increasingly prevalant on this board any more tolerable.<BR><BR>PS - I didn't come out of the woodwork - I was never there. I have been in plain sight all along.
