I think there is a cover up in effect regarding flt. 253

[transatlantic0207]

#1 A few passengers say there was a well dressed 'indian-looking' man arrested in Detroit after the passengers deplaned and they were moved to a secure area while the man was being detained

#2 There is a US-based lawyer, who was on the plane that saw another well dressed 'indian-looking' man try to help the terrorist board the plane WITHOUT a passport.

#3 There was a passenger on the plane that witnessed someone filming the entire flight

Something is fishy...the news is still reporting that this guy had a visa and passport to come to the US

There is no mention either of these 'indian-looking' men in any of the news except for a few reports in the immediate aftermath.

Also, IMO if you substitute 'indian-looking' for pakistani....I think the puzzle pieces will fit perfectly.

Discuss...

The US has a a long history for picking the wrong allies. While on one hand they threatened to fight any country hosting terrorists, they still managed to "make friend" with Pakistan, which is one the world's densiest nest of terrotists in the world, not to mention that it is the home base for the Afghan warriors that the US is actually fighting.

Imagine, if the so-called "flight 253 terrorist" was not Nigerian like the medias say, but Pakistanese. That would require the US to severe its relations with Pakistan and leave the country where the US has its military bases for its Afghan operations.

Obviously, these are only assumptions. I am not too much in conspiracy plots, but any scenario is possible.

Scarlet Johansen... Hmmm...

It's in retaliation apparently for the airstrikes in Yemen that happenend two days after the terrorist bought his ticket....see the inconsistency?

I am not commenting on the geo-politics of it all, I am only referring to the apparent cover-up by the US gov't and media outlets (inc. fox)

Personally, I think that this dude didn't even board with a passport. I think AQ knew that he was 'potentially' flagged and that's why that 'indian-looking' guy was trying to get him on board without a passport and trying to make the terrorist appear to be a sundanese refugee w/o papers.
It would show that AQ has more going on than meets the eye. Also just yesterday @ malpensa they detonated a dud that someone had placed in the bathroom. Sounds to me like a test run...by the way 'the system worked' because the last line of defense (you & I the passengers) tackled the guy before he could detonate I would be laughing if it wasn't for the fact I fly internationally often

Well anyway, terrorists or no terrorists, conspiracy or no conspiracys i will NEVER fly commercial. especially with the new rules about not being able to move about the cabin 1hr before landing, or if i can or can not use the bathroom ,or my ipod, or having to keep my hands visible. as well as the normal security BS at the airport, waiting in line is not for me. If I want to fly somewhere Im chartering a private jet. I will fly in style, and aviod all the security, and fat smelly nasty people on commercial flights.

What is so funny? I was under the impression the MD's made decent money. Am i wrong?

[transatlantic0207]

lol you can't spell and getting an associates and saying you're going to be flying in style...you're going to be in a cramped cabin with body parts and/or dead or dying bodies. Air Medics don't make that much, my cousin is one in in NYC and the salary tops out at like 84 grand and the schedule is shit.

Back on topic, none of you guys have any opinions on this most recent terrorism craziness?
