U.S. Customs: Second person handcuffed on Christmas Day was on Flight 253, after all
posted 01/03/2010, 10:13 PM (MLive.com) [Category: Cover-Up/Deceptions]
A spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection now says that a man who was handcuffed and questioned by authorities on Christmas Day was a passenger on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 — just days after saying that person arrived to Detroit aboard a different flight.
In an email to The Detroit News Thursday night, Customs spokesman Ron Smith acknowledged that a person from Flight 253 was handcuffed after search dogs found something in his carry-on bag. Smith said the email — which was also sent to attorneys Lori and Kurt Haskell — was based on new information he had received.
The passenger was not arrested or detained, and was allowed to leave Detroit Metro Airport with the rest of the Flight 253 passengers, according to WWJ. The News said nothing was found in the man’s bag.The Haskells and at least two other Flight 253 passengers said they saw a man being handcuffed and taken away by authorities while they were waiting to be questioned by the FBI following Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s alleged attack on Flight 253. On Tuesday night, Smith told MLive.com that someone had been detained at Detroit Metro Airport following the incident on Flight 253, but could not say why the person was detained or whether the person would face charges.
In a subsequent interview with MLive.com on Wednesday, Smith said the man was aboard a separate flight and that he was questioned for reasons unrelated to Flight 253. He added that passengers from various flights went through customs processing in one centralized location. ... (more) |
Haskells Speak Out Against Criticism Of Challenging Official Story
posted 01/03/2010, 10:13 PM (Haskell’s Blog) [Category: Cover-Up/Deceptions] Wow.
I think that is really the only word that comes to mind when trying to define how my life has been since just before noon on Christmas.
It still has not sunk in that I almost died on Christmas Day. There was a terrorist on my plane. With a bomb. Who tried to blow our entire plane up, and harm those on the ground below. And, I am still in shock.

Haskell’s: Flight 253 - A Conversation With A Fellow Passenger
posted 01/03/2010, 10:13 PM (Haskell’s Blog) [Category: Cover-Up/Deceptions] Today I received a phone call from a fellow passenger, Bo Taylor (Bo indicated that I could identify him). This was the first contact I have had with any other passenger (besides Lori) since we left customs on Christmas Day. The conversation was very interesting because we both saw different things and were able to compare notes.
In the interest of obtaining the truth, which has always been my goal, I am posting the following account of Bo Taylor that differs from mine: ... (more) |

Lower-risk offenders: New law unfair
posted 01/03/2010, 10:11 PM (Lincoln Journal Star) [Category: Big Brother/Orwellian] Some Nebraska residents found guilty of committing lower-level sex crimes have joined legal efforts to suspend or change parts of new sex offender laws that were set to take effect Friday.
One man convicted of sexually assaulting his 15-year-old girlfriend when he was 19 successfully challenged his sex offender registry classification, getting it dropped to Level 2 and removing his name from public view after a concrete chunk was thrown at his family's home.

It is safer to have criminals running around than to have a criminal government running every aspect of your life.
Of course the government needs criminals to justify its existence so don't expect any of these authoritarian laws to actually stop any crime, quite the opposite, they will instead treat everyone as criminals and throw 'innocent until proven guilty' out the window. |

By skepticism, he meant “standing up and exposing the science, the costs and the hysteria behind global warming alarmism”.
