That policeman thing was the armed religious "militia" that got busted in the US a couple weeks ago.

Can we all agree now that it was indeed committed by an Islamofascist? Or are some of us in denial?

OK then.

OTOH, Paedo (Ex-)Bishop Mixa is German, and so is Papa Ratzi, and I'm pretty sure Jesus would have no ****ing clue as to what they're on about all day, either.

Maybe I just shouldn't leave the house.

Too many ****ing loonies out.

Washington (CNN) -- The man charged in the failed Times Square bombing was working with the Taliban movement in Pakistan, the U.S. attorney general said Sunday.

"The evidence that we have now developed shows the Pakistani Taliban directed this plot," Attorney General Eric Holder said, describing the investigation into suspect Faisal Shahzad during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Dumb terminology. It means they've run down leads and found there to be convincing evidence that TTP are behind this. Which, of course TTP has publicly denied. Which makes me think that Mr. Holder is correct in his statement.

No, it means that the Attorney General doesn't want to go on public record with a lie and use the word "created".

WATERTOWN, Mass. - Federal agents conducted Thursday morning raids in Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey in connection with the failed Times Square car bomb and arrested three people, including two Pakistani men who provided money to the suspect, Faisal Shahzad, law enforcement officials said.

The searches were the product of evidence gathered in the investigation into Shahzad's alleged bombing attempt two weeks ago, but there was "no known immediate threat to the public or any active plot against the United States," FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said.

Pakistan has arrested several suspects in connection with the failed bombing in New York City, officials say.

One of the arrested is the co-owner of a prominent catering firm used by the US embassy in Islamabad, Pakistani officials told news agencies.

It is not clear when the arrests were made. They follow a visit to Pakistan by two senior US security officials.
