[DistressedAmerican]

My sister just called and said that MSNBC is reporting that a Saudi that had done time in a Saudi prison wad indicted this morning in a plot to kill bush!

I can't find any info yet. Has anyone seen this report? Anyone have links?

5. Thanks for the link. I Can Always Count On DUers. So Many Eyes!

Here's the text for the interested parties out there:
(ALEXANDRIA, Va.) -- A former high school valedictorian in Virginia was charged Tuesday with conspiring to assassinate President Bush and conspiracy to support the al-Qaida terrorist network.

Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, 23, a U.S. citizen, made an initial appearance Tuesday in U.S. District Court. He claimed that he was tortured while detained in Saudi Arabia since June of 2003 and offered through his lawyer to show the judge his scars.

The indictment said that in 2002 and 2003 Abu Ali and an unidentified coconspirator discussed plans for Abu Ali to assassinate Bush. They discussed two scenarios, the indictment said, one in which Abu Ali "would get close enough to the president to shoot him on the street" and, alternatively, "an operation in which Abu Ali would detonate a car bomb."

on edit: The asserted Al Qaeda link is interesting. Is Bin Laden getting closer to Bush than Bush can get to Bin Laden?

13. No--I think this is a case of a guy who is talking too much about torture

and they want to shut him up, so they are now framing him for "trying to kill the pretzeldent".

4. shrub will never be assasinated.

He's the most protected man on the planet. And he's not America's only problem, it's the machine BEHIND shrub that's scary. When he's gone and out of office, there will be another one to take his place.. don't you see??

6. Your headline scared me

I thought you were implying that DUers have inside knowledge of an assasination plot.

8. Sorry To Raise Your Blood Pressure.

For anyone reading this DUers have NO information about ANY plots to kill ANYONE even Bush. Just trolling for news...

9. I can't say what I REALLY want to say.

You know, the agent Mike thing and all. :hi: Hi agent Mike! :hi:

Who indicted him? The U.S.? He's a Saudi. Just like the 911 hijackers. Go figure. Saudi Arabia is the country the idiot-in-chief should have concentrated on, but he's too busy having his pockets lined with Bandar Bush's $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

10. That Was What Caught My Sister's Eye.

The Bush/Saudi Connection really sticks in our collective craw. Here's a graphic she commissioned me to make:

11. Agent Mike?

Do tell.

[springhill]

14. They can accuse anyone of anything..........

Who is going to investigate to find out if it is really true? Our news media? Just another way for to gain sympathy for bush, that's all.

16. Agent Mike has been assigned to watch DU for the government.

He spends his time looking for enemy combatants here on DU. Watch what you say on here or you will have secret service agents on your doorstep the next day.

Say hi to Agent Mike! :hi:

[DistressedAmerican]

17. Well, Howdy Agent Mike!

:hi:

18. I, for one, sincerely hope that Bush* has a LOOOOONG and

happy life on the Pig Ranch after his impeachment.
