Faisal Shahzad the American

[Kathy63]

The man who built the car bomb which was supposed to take out Times Square in New York is a naturalized legal immigrant from Pakistan. He was naturalized a year ago.

There is nothing in the legalization process, no magic, no process that makes any immigrant into an American. Not for legal immigrants, not for immigrants who came here illegally. When immigrants hold up their hands and take that oath of citizenship, it's meaningless words. It means that we have people who will do anything and say anything to get what they want.

The New York authorities had suspects in mind, Mayor Bloomberg said it was someone with a political agenda who didn't like the health care bill. In other words, they were looking for an American. Specifically, as the news said hundreds of times, a white guy. They certainly wouldn't consider a muslim immigrant until they just couldn't get away with it anymore. New York was on the same path as Washington DC was when they were looking for a white guy as the beltway sniper rather than a muslim.

How many more Faisals are there out there?

It should not surprise us that with a liberal controlled Congress, White House and media the primary suspect would be a white man. The liberals are going to try and pin any violent act on Conservative white Americans, while they go out of their way to ignore the violence from the Left and people of color (perpetrated on white Americans). It's the old liberal double standard.

New U.S. anti-terror measures in place after bomb scare

Sheldon Alberts, Washington Correspondent, Canwest News Service

Published: Wednesday, May 05, 2010

NEW YORK -- The U.S. government imposed new rules Wednesday requiring airlines to make more timely checks of terrorist no-fly lists after the near-escape of accused Times Square car bomber Faisal Shahzad.

The Obama administration ordered all airlines to examine their flight manifests for suspect passengers within two hours in circumstances where they receive notice of a special threat by a particular individual. Previously, airlines have only had to check no-fly lists every 24 hours for matches with passengers.

The move came after Mr. Shahzad, a 30-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, was allowed to board an Emirates Airlines flight bound for Dubai from New York's Kennedy Airport on Monday, despite having been placed on a no-fly list at 12:30 p.m. earlier that day. The airline did not take action after receiving a message sent to all airlines alerting them to check their flight manifests for an individual added to the no-fly list, U.S. officials claim.

Mr. Shahzad may have eluded early detection by making his reservation with the airline only as he dashed for the airport that evening. He paid for his ticket in cash on arrival at Kennedy. Customs and Border Patrol agents at the National Targeting Center in Virginia discovered his presence on the aircraft while making a last-minute check against the completed flight manifest.

....


Mr. Shahzad, who became as U.S. citizen in 2009 after a decade living here as a legal immigrant, has been charged with an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries and an attempt to use a weapon of mass destruction.

....

Meantime other elements of the pursuit and arrest of Mr. Shahzad have also become clearer.

Initial reports indicated the Emirates Airlines flight Mr. Shahzad was aboard had already departed from its gate and readying for takeoff. Officials now say the plane's cabin had closed and Mr. Shahzad was seated when the door was reopened and he was removed.

The plane then departed the gate but was called back so authorities could remove two more passengers, who were questioned and later released.
