“Desperate But Not Serious” Dumbass Move of the Day
By Debbie Schlussel
Well, this is the latest brainy move in fighting terorrism, isn’t it?
An Islamic man on the Terror Watch list caught driving on a revoked license with a stolen credit card was given bond by a stupid Tennessee judge–and FBI agents who did nothing–and is now lost in the great American abyss.
Brilliant:
A man arrested in a Tri-Cities traffic stop is on the F.B.I’s terror watch list, according to court documents filed by the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
27 year old Abdul H. Khan of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was pulled over on Highway 19E north of Elizabethton by Tennessee Highway Patrolman M.D. Musick.
According to a court affidavit filed by Musick, Khan was going 77 m.p.h in a 55 m.p.h. zone, was driving on a revoked license, and was in possession of a stolen credit card.
“I checked Mr. Khan’s driver’s license status through the NCIC computer and his privilege to drive was suspended in New Mexico on April 19,2008 and he was on the FBI’s terrorist watch list. He was therefore placed under arrest and transported to the Carter Co. jail.”
According to jail records, five hours after Khan was arrested, he made bond from the Carter County Jail.
The T.H.P. referred our questions about this case to the F.B.I. An F.B.I. spokesman said the Bureau doesn’t comment on investigations.
Khan has a court date set for October 7th.
What the FBI spokesman really meant: the Bureau doesn’t comment our on laziness, stupidity, and being dumbasses.
Anyone really think he’ll show up for the October 7th court date?
Methinks he’ll have jihad martyred himself by then or fled to Whereeverstan.
America . . . Desperate But Not Serious in the War on Terror.
Oh, and by the way, if they couldn’t deny him bond based on the terrorist watch list designation, the revoked driver’s license, and the stolen credit card, at least they could have kept him in jail for dressing like he came off the set of “That ’70s Show.” Nice shirt.
Kudos to patrolman Musick for catching this guy. Jeers to the judge who gave him a bond so small he made bail in 5 hours. Will find out the judge’s name.
Thanks to my friend, the amazing Brett Winterble of Covert Radio and reader Duane for the tip.
I thought Homeland Security, and the local dicks had computer data bases setup for arrests like this. Apparently, all those tax dollars are being wasted elsewhere.
[JP: THEY DO, AND THE COP CHECKED IT, AS NOTED IN THE ARTICLE. THAT’S HOW HE KNEW THE GUY WAS ON THE TERROR WATCH LIST. STILL, YOU ARE RIGHT THAT THE DOLLARS WERE WASTED, B/C NO-ONE CARED THAT HE WAS ON THE LIST AND THEY GAVE HIM A SMALL BOND. DS]
