“Missing” Egyptian Students: The Story Isn’t Over
By
Remember the 11 , who never showed up at Montana State University after their planes reached New York? They eventually found all of them (). But the story isn’t over.
Yesterday, three of the students had a secret bond hearing in Omaha, Nebraska, which lasted more than FIVE HOURS(!), according to Omaha’s KETV. Surprise! surprise!–the hearing was CLOSED.
None of the media reports name the students (WHY?). But they are: Ahmed Refaat Saad El Moghazi El Laket, 19, Mohamed Ibrahim El Sayed El Moghazy, 20, and Moustafa Wagdy Moustafa El Gafary, 18.
Five hours is very long for a bond hearing. They usually last minutes, at most. So, why did this hearing last for five hours? What was going on? And why did their attorney ask the judge that the hearing be closed to the press? (We mean the real reason, not the BS reason given by the attorney.) And why was bond set at $10,000 a piece? That’s a high bond for your average missing illegal alien who is finally found.
It was disclosed that the three used aliases to get bus tickets. And who knows what else? Little else has been made public about the mysterious 5-hour-plus hearing. And little else has been told to us about why the .
Do you buy the judge’s and attorney’s claims that the case has “nothing to do with terrorism”? We don’t either. Whenever we’re told that, it usually means–on the contrary–that is has everything to do with it.
Thanks to reader Renee from Nebraska who rightly complains that the story is getting very little play even in her home state, where it took place. “The big news here is Husker football,” she writes.
If we don’t concern ourselves more with these matters, there won’t be football in future generations. Even if footballs are no longer made of real pigskin.

“Why did their attorney ask the judge that the hearing be closed to the press?”
It’s clearly stated in the article:
“I was going by my clients wishes,” Peck said. “You got to understand their culture. They come from Egypt, where if you say something wrong and it gets published, even if you say what you feel and it gets published, you’re punished.”
“Do you buy the judge’s and attorney’s claims that the case has “nothing to do with terrorism”?”
Yes. Once again, you offer nothing but hysterical speculation to prove otherwise.
DUH! I READ THAT. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT BS, THEN YOU ARE EVEN MORE GULLIBLE THAN I HAD EARLIER DIAGNOSED.
