What kind of people would smile for a mugshot?
Ahmed Mohammed and Yousef Megahed, that’s who. The two University of South Florida students who were caught with explosives in Goose Creek, SC, have finally been indicted for terrorism in Tampa.
Homeland security is up to the citizenry and the county sheriffs, not the DHS!
The SC Pipe Bomb Boys had been caught by the Berkeley County Sheriff’s department during a routine traffic stop. Despite the fact that Goose Creek is near the closely-guarded Naval Weapons Station Charleston, where nuclear weapons are handled and where enemy combatants have been held, the FBI had denied that Megahed and Mohamed were terrorists. The pair were held on local charges in a South Carolina jail while the FBI took its time to decide whether there was a terrorism link.
The establishment of the much-touted Department of Homeland Security has accomplished nothing more than to add another needless layer of bureaucracy over the FBI, the ICE, the Border Patrol, and who knows how many other federal bureaucracies that are still not getting the job done. It seems as though they don’t have any idea what their job is.
After 9/11, we have a right to expect that thorough background checks would be run on every foreigner applying for a student visa, and that there would be some monitoring of the whereabouts and activities of foreign students already in the U.S.
Indicted USF Student has Terror Past in Egypt:
According to officials familiar with the case, Mohamed has been arrested previously in Egypt on terrorism-related charges. He is said to have produced an Internet video showing how to build a remote-controlled car bomb.
If that’s so, our government was careless enough to allow a known terrorist and e-jihadist into the US. Wow.
This is not the first terrorist connection with the University of South Florida:

CBS has no room for Christians or for American Southerners.
For those who are not aware of this, it’s part of the Christian faith that believers are required – yes, REQUIRED – to tell the truth about our beliefs, and to bring the Good News to everyone we can reach. Taqiyya has NO place in Christianity. Florida televangelist Bill Keller was simply doing what a good Christian should do on a Christian talk show. But CAIR, a Muslim pressure group affiliated with Hamas, bullied CBS into dropping Keller’s show.
Here are two accounts of the disgraceful way CBS Corporation treated Florida televangelist Bill Keller:
But that’s not all. The CBS website has been providing a forum for over-the-top hate comments. CBS has allowed random crazies to spew filth and venom on the CBS website, particularly against American Southerners. After they got enough complaints, they eventually deleted the comments and, in effect, pretended the comments had never existed.
A high-traffic mainstream media site such as CBS has no business ever allowing unmoderated comments to appear in the first place. They should publish a comment policy with enough moderators to enforce it. They refuse to take any responsibility for what happens on their site, and they have no respect for Southerners or for anybody with traditional values. With that corporate mindset, it’s no wonder that the networks and the mainstream media have been steadily losing their audience!
Now let CBS know what you think of this!

Read the fascinating details of this story, and ask yourself why the media has shown little interest in following up and bringing them to you:
The news media should be keeping an eye on incidents like these, but they’re not. Instead, they’re helping to make sure everybody stays asleep. 
If you think the media has been doing its job in keeping us informed about terrorism-related evidence and events, you’re completely mistaken.
Read and watch this: Radioactivity at Jersey City? Conflicting reports
(stein hoist to Noisy Room). 
By the way, if you live anywhere near Jersey City, it’s up to you to demand some answers as to who has been telling the media to keep us in the dark about a vital matter such as this!
Since the news media and the governmental authorities aren’t properly keeping track of these incidents and informing us so that we can use this information to safeguard our families and communities, it looks as though we’ll have to start doing that ourselves.
I blogged about that quite recently; see Why we need a public-access database for tracking small-scale disasters and unusual events. I’m waiting for your suggestions!
Michelle Malkin’s article tells us that the SC pipe-bomb duo had, until recently, been using Web 2.0 social venues to network. How interesting! You can be sure that they aren’t the only ones taking advantage of the Web for that purpose. E-jihadists, and those who aid and abet them, are all over the web. So are courageous, diligent, and loyal citizens who are ferreting them out and reporting them.
Just for starters: 
This is where you come in! 
You, with your helpful eyes and ears, and with your cognitive abilities and your common sense to help you to connect the dots! Put those to work whenever you explore Web 2.0 social venues. If you see something, say something. Blog about it, comment about it, and notify the authorities. Also notify the owner of the web venue and everyone who should be aware. Above all, keep watching to make sure that appropriate action is taken!
Update: Keep these links at hand for the next time you spot a Wikipedia spin job – whether it’s e-jihadist or anything else:

Update: Despite FBI foot-dragging, SC “Pipe Bomb Boys” indicted for terrorism in Tampa
‘Splodeydopes (i.e., homicide bombers) – in South Carolina, of all places? Just after I had finished installing the Breitbart news feed on this blog, I noticed that the feed had served up a news item about two ‘splodeydopes of Middle Eastern extraction having been apprehended in South Carolina with explosive devices. Too little information was available at that time to write a full-fledged blog post, so I posted Explosives found in South Carolina – connection with enemy combatants with the information I had. I hoped that posting even this sketchy information would help to keep everyone focused on this topic, and everyone’s eyes and ears observing their surroundings – especially those in South Carolina who might be in a position to notice something.
As it so often does, the FBI seems to be putting everybody back to sleep rather than on alert. It’s amazing that they were unwilling to acknowledge the obvious signs of terrorist activity, despite the fact that the two men were caught near the closely-guarded Naval Weapons Station Charleston, where nuclear weapons are handled and where enemy combatants have been held.
Plenty of updates have come in since the arrest:
Don’t assume that the South is immune to enemy infiltrators. Last year, I spoke with a gentleman who said that one of the reasons he chose to live in northern Mississippi was that his locale was “not on al Qaeda’s list of top ten thousand targets for attack.” He’s right, of course, and even though I love the American South for its own sake, I also have every reason to believe that the small-town and rural South does offer a better chance of avoiding instant destruction in a terror attack. That said, I caution everyone not to indulge in a false sense of security just because you happen to be living in the American South or in any thinly-populated, small-town or rural area.
Here’s the problem: The bad guys are taking root everywhere, not just in major metropolitan areas. Fact is, an out-of-the-way location can afford them concealment for terrorist training or other evil activities, where John or Jane Doe might not be around to spot anything suspicious. And of course, spotting things that are suspicious or abnormal is exactly where you come in.
But what if this was just an isolated incident? No chance of that. There have already been reports of jihadist recruitment, training, and other activity in small-town America for quite some time now. For example:
The take-home lesson? Always be sure to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity, even if you think you’re in middle of nowhere, because the fact is that there’s no such place as the middle of nowhere!
