It’s probably not quite as stupid an idea as you guys might think. The only ones walking around with a weapon will be the MP’s. I’m sure there are combat troops stationed there, but their weapons are all locked up in armories. It’d take probably 30 minutes or more for the armors to dispatch weapons and in that time, these guys could’ve caused some serious damage, killed several soldiers. Then imagine the coup that’d be for the radical Islamist cheerleaders.

I see your point. My only point of reference is Whiteman AFB, and that seemed pretty hairy if one showed up with weapons. And, I suppose if these guys are of Eastern European origin, they don't look the typical Islamic terrorist.

This statement says alot:

"One of the suspects was born in Jordan, another in Turkey, the U.S. attorney's office said. The rest are believed to be from the former Yugoslavia, "either U.S. citizens or living illegally in the United States," the office said in a statement."

"The Newark Star-Ledger reported on its Web site that the men took a videotape of their practice sessions to a store to have it burned to a DVD, and that a store employee contacted the FBI because of the video's contents."



THis is what happens when people play in the sandbox all their life...
