Despite their best attempts to will the perpetrator of the attempted bombimg in New York City this weekend into a “white man”, authorities instead arrested a Pakistani man according to the Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The suspect, Faisal Shahzad, was identified by customs agents at John F. Kennedy International Airport and was stopped, according to officials who spoke to The Associated Press early Tuesday on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation. He had recently returned from a five-month trip to Pakistan, where he had a wife, but was not apparently headed back there, the officials said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After denying for two days that there was evidence of terror in the incident, Eric Holder, out attorney general finally conceded that Shahzad’s motivations were terror-related<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Attorney General Eric Holder said today there is no question that the person or persons behind the failed bombing attempt in Times Square intended to spread terror across New York.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Next thing you know, he’ll admit that we are actually fighting a war against terror. Wouldn’t that be a joyous moment?<\/p>\n

ADDED:<\/strong> I almost forgot Republican Peter King’s buffoonery;<\/p>\n

That view was echoed by the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Peter King of New York. “(T)here does not appear to be any foreign connection, there was no intelligence chatter before, there was no conversation since indicating that this was coordinated from overseas…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s the measure of foreign terror; whether or not terrorists are able to shut up about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
