Waad Ramadan Alwan and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, two Iraqi nationals, were arrested in Bowling Green, Ky., after a two-year FBI investigation.

They were indicted for allegedly providing assistance to Al Qaeda in Iraq and attempting to send weapons overseas. The men were living in the United States and had been granted refugee status, despite their insurgency activities in Iraq and their role in attacking U.S. troops.

It looks like Bowling Green, KY was harboring terrorists, although from the article I am not sure where the terrorist charges are coming from. Maybe I am reading it wrong, but it sounded like the "informant" reported one of the men discussing blowing things up and eating US soldiers for luch and dinner? And they mentioned OBL. Anyway this has been a two year investigation.

I wonder what it was about Kentucky the "terrorists" liked so much to choose this state.

Just two more fish that have benefited from our catch and release program. There are many more out there still. I expect they'll be showing themselves shortly, hopefully in cuffs like these two, before they can carry anything out.

I wonder if the stingers would have been coming from fort Campbell? Because it's just down the road from Bowling Green.

One more piece of evidence supporting my belief that all non American muslims should be sent home. All illegal aliens need to be sent home as well. No more "refugee status" for muslims. Just send them back to the middle east.

not supporting,participating in the placing of IED's

2 criminals is proof that tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of people should be deported? That seems a bit extreme. Maybe it'd be a better idea if we stopped bombing them and supporting oppressive regimes in the middle east so that they wouldn't have a reason to hate us, as opposed to acting rashly and suffering the consequences of it (if you really think persecuting Muslims will stop terrorism you certainly don't realise what it is that motivates terrorist groups).

Not all Muslims come from the Middle East.

There are Muslims in Europe, Africa, and Asia.

If you want to tell one group of people they can't come in then you need to tell everyone they can't come in.

Me personally--I wouldn't have a huge problem with that.
