1. And now they can call it terrorism again.

[HipChick]

2. identified as Shahzad Faisal

[paulsby]

10. rubbish

they were already calling it terrorism

despite the all "it's only called terrorism if the perp is brown" posts

[merh]

19. the problem is - we LET them control the definitions

anyone who uses violence and terror to make a political statement is a terrorist.

Anyone who planted a bomb in a car in Times Square is a terrorist.

Terrorists come in all shapes, colors and forms. They vary as much as the politics of the world varies.

Stop letting them control the conversation.

3. Should he be water-boarded...?

....or beheaded on al Jazeera? What justice does this man deserve? Obviously, he does not consider himself an American, but a Pakistani. His loyalties are not with our country.

[HipChick]

4. US Naturalizations can be revoked..

[Tailormyst]

11. He is a citizen

It said of Pakistani decent, not an Pakistani immigrant.

[HipChick]

13. If you get naturalization,its usually because you immigrated from somewhere first..

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Only if he was naturalized

if he was born here... he is a Natural Born Citizen

[HipChick]

16. Doesn't really matter at this point..very much like this case..

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Yes it does

when exactly did Pakistan become a US State?

Now he is naturalized... according to CNN... so that will be something they will do. If he is found guilty and given less than life... he will become a Stateless Person

Oh and I would not advocate ANY KIND OF TORTURE, PERIOD

[HipChick]

18. Why does Pakistan need to be a US state?

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. they are not, but it seems you want the interrogators to use the same

techniques

the Pakistani Intelligence Service is infamous for ahem obtaining confessions.

[HipChick]

21. I don't understand what you are trying to say...I stated

that a US naturalization does not bestow US citizenship indefinitely if serious judicial matters come into play ..that's all...how you get to you jump point is beyond me..

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. What I am saying is that they will not torture this guy

as to taking away his citizenship, only if he is released. Why I said, become a stateless person but ONLY after release, and that assumes HE IS actually like guilty. Lets wait for the courts.

[Tailormyst]

23. I hadn't seen that part about him being naturalized

Just being of Pakistani "decent"

[madmax]

7. Shouldn't our laws take precedence?

I may have missed the part that said, if you don't believe in our laws then we'll just take it on the fly.

:shrug:

[Luminous Animal]

9. So what was McVeigh? Was he also not a U.S. citizen and an "American"?

Yes, he was.

[madmax]

5. Obama's fault...

:sarcasm:

[HipChick]

6. had him under surveillance..hmm

[Zen Democrat]

8. CNN reporting he was arrested at JFK about to board a plane. nt

[HipChick]

12. and only because of beefed up TSA security at that airport..

I'd bet..

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. CNN is going on this right now

[upi402]

24. They're in orgy-mode as is Fux News I'm sure

Glad this guy was fail. Lucky.
