Official confirms 2nd man interviewed from Flight 253
Couple on 253 did see 2nd man in cuffs, customs officer says

Detroit -- A U.S. Customs official reversed himself Friday, admitting a passenger from Northwest Flight 253 was placed in handcuffs, searched and released after a security dog alerted officers to the passenger's carry-on luggage.

Ronald G. Smith, chief U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer in the Detroit area, sent an e-mail to The Detroit News late Thursday apologizing that the information on the passenger -- which was made public by a pair of Taylor attorneys, Kurt and Lori Haskell, who were passengers on the flight -- was not officially announced earlier.

FBI officials had said only one man from the flight was arrested. That man, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old Nigerian being held at the Milan federal prison, is charged with trying to destroy an aircraft and taking a destructive device aboard an aircraft.

He created a small fire before landing when he tried to set off explosive chemicals hidden in his underwear, according to court records. Passengers jumped on him and put out the blaze with the help of the flight crew, witnesses said.

The Haskells told federal investigators they saw another man being questioned by federal officials and led away from the airport baggage area in handcuffs after a sniffer dog reacted to something in the man's carry-on luggage.

The couple said the man, who appeared to be in his early 30s and of Indian descent, was taken to a room for questioning and later led out of that room in handcuffs.

In previous statements to the media, Smith had said the Haskells' account was a composite of two events that occurred at the airport around the time passengers got off Flight 253. The incidents were unrelated to the terrorist incident, Smith had said.

Yet in the e-mail, which also was sent to the couple, Smith said he had just received information he did not have previously and hoped "it will clear up the matter."

Smith said a second man from Flight 253 was handcuffed, escorted to a room where he was interviewed and searched. Nothing was found. The man was not arrested or detained, and no further information was available about him, Smith said.

"This information is consistent with eyewitness accounts," Smith said.

Reached by phone on Friday, Lori Haskell said the e-mail was a small victory for the couple, yet it angered them at the same time.

"I just want them to look into our claims," Lori Haskell said. "Our story has been the same since day one because we are telling the truth."

The Haskells, who were questioned Tuesday by FBI agents at their law office, earlier told The Detroit News that Kurt Haskell saw Abdulmutallab in Amsterdam, Netherlands, apparently trying to board the flight without a passport.

Kurt Haskell said he saw a well-dressed Indian man, who was older than the Indian man arrested at Detroit Metro, attempting to negotiate with airline officials to get Abdulmutallab on the plane without a passport. He appeared to be trying to pass Abdulmutallab off as a Sudanese refugee, Haskell said...

Wow, you should do this for a living.

Wouldn't it be nice to get paid to read and post.

Nigerian officials have said Abdulmutallab presented a valid Nigerian passport and multi-entry U.S. visa when he began his trip in Lagos.

Federal officials seized both documents in Detroit, a person familiar with the investigation said.

See what I mean? Even after the government reversed themselves a WEEK later and came out with a FOURTH story, mmmmichael is STILL defending the official fairy tale, just like he does with 9/11. Now why would the government fabricate lies for an entire week, then sheepishly admit that the Haskells were telling the truth all along?

Maybe for the same reason the government won't release any videos or photos of "Flight 77" hitting the Pentagon or admit that they recovered all four black boxes from the WTC towers.

BTW, you're right in your suspicions about mmmmichael. Ignore the government shills.

The whole problem with Haskell's story is not an issue of his honesty or the government's honesty.

WTF are you talking about? OF COURSE it's an issue of honesty! That's why perjured testimony is thrown out of court. When the government lies for an entire WEEK, then tries to peddle a FOURTH story, why would ANYONE believe any part of their story? (except you of course.)

The Haskells are honest and sincere people who are simply relating their experiences -- which other passengers have backed up. OTOH, the government is as honest and credible as you.

After the foaming at the mouth for a few hours try to figure out whether the Nigerian man had a passport or not.

For the last five days I have been reporting my story of the so called "sharp dressed man." For those of you who haven't read my account, it involves a sharp dressed "Indian man" attempting to talk a ticket agent into letting a supposed "Sudanese refugee" (the terrorist) onto flight 253 without a passport. I have never had any idea how it played out except to note that the so called "Sudanese refugee" later boarded my flight and attempted to blow it up and kill me.

At no time did my story involve, or even find important whether the terrorist actually had a passport. The importance of my story was and always will be, the attempt with an accomplice (apparently successful) of a terrorist with all sorts of prior terrorist warning signs to skirt the normal passport boarding procedures in Amsterdam. By the way, Amsterdam security did come out the other day and admit that the terrorist did not have to "Go through normal passport checking procedures".

Amsterdam security, please define to the American public "Normal passport boarding procedures".

You see the FBI would have the American public believe that what was important was whether the terrorist in fact had a passport.

Seriously, think about this people. You have a suicide bomber who had recently been to Yemen to get a bomb, whose father had reported him as a terrorist, who supposedly was on some kind of U.S. terror watchlist, and most likely knew the U.S. was aware of these red flags. Yet, he didn't go through "Normal passport checking procedures." What does that mean? Maybe that he flashed a passport to some sort of sympathetic security manager in a backroom to avoid a closer look at the terrorist's "red flags"? What is important is that the terrorist avoided using normal passport checking procedures (apparently successfully) in order to avoid a closer look into his red flags. Who cares if he had a passport? The important thing is that he didn't want to show it and somehow avoided a closer inspection and "normal passport checking procedures." Each passport comes with a bar code on it that can be scanned to provide a wealth of information about the individual. I would bet that the passport checking procedures for the terrorist did not include a bar code scan of his passport (which could have revealed damning information about the terrorist).

Please note that there is a very easy way to verify the veracity of my prior "sharp dressed man" account. Dutch police have admitted that they have reviewed the video of the "sharp dressed man" that I referenced. Note that it has not been released anywhere. You see, if my eye witness account is false, it could easily be proven by releasing the video. However, the proof of my eyewitness account would also be verified if I am telling the truth and I am. There is a reason we have only heard of the video and not seen it. Dutch authorities, "RELEASE THE VIDEO!" This is the most important video in 8 years and may be all of two minutes long. Show the entire video and "DO NOT EDIT IT"! The American public deserves its own chance to attempt to identify the "sharp dressed man". I have no doubt that if the video indicated that my account was wrong, that the video would have already swept over the entire world wide web.

Who cares!

Let them see my naked body. Then can I finally stop taking my damn shoes off and putting them through the x-ray machine?

Guess who runs the security at Amsterdam Schipol airport? ICTS of course! the same Israeli owned security company that somehow managed to let the shoe bomber on his Miami flight in 2001 and several of those mythical hijackers who allegedly flew out of Boston's Logan airport on 9/11. It is also useful to remember that the shoe bomber was cleared through ICTS and El Al security at Amsterdam airport on a flight to Tel Aviv in July 2001 for what was apparently an all-expenses paid week-long trip to the Israeli city. What precisely he did there remains a mystery.

Since 9/11 worked so well at starting a couple of phony wars, bankrupting the middle class and destroying The Constitution, it was time to go back to the well and once again hoodwink the clueless American masses. If something works, why not keep using it? It's not like you are dealing with people who possess exceptional intelligence and perception. Gullible suckers are a dime a dozen within the American populace.

The mysterious Indian negotiator in Amsterdam is not the man put in handcuffs in Detroit.

Yeah, the Jews orchestrate all the evil all over the world, that's why they must be destroyed. They bring it on themselves and they are evil.

I guess you know the Haskells personally, eh?
And like the balloon boy family they are looking for their own reality show because Octomom called and told me. And of course we should disregard all the professional airport and airline employees experiences because... well they aren't on TV blasting their story because... well they are... professional.
