7. Hey, lookit that

The article says he's Kristinn Taylor's friend. Taylor is Freerepublic's alpha dork, official poobah of PR or somesuch.

8. Kristinn was acting as a character witness to get his buddy out on bond

The judge thought it better to keep him in custody.

4. and the White House would be blaring the news as well

It is so annoying that so many of the local terrorists are right-wing clinic bombers or gummint haters.

5. Why, of course, this would be national news if ole Tyler had an Arabic name. He would

be a 'suspected terrorist', obliviously planning an assault on something there in the Capitol.

6. Well, they wouldn't really be reporting his story in that case:

instead they would be reporting the story fed to them by the Bushistas about the latest detainee at Gitmo.
