Home Grown Terrorists?

Check out this video.

quote from this article:

Prosecutors said Boyd received terrorist training in Pakistan and brought the teachings back to North Carolina, recruiting followers willing to die as martyrs waging jihad, the Arabic word for holy war.

Here is an interesting quote from Mr Obama found here:

..."I traveled to Pakistan when I was in college -- I knew what Sunni and Shia was [sic] before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."

The article goes on to inform us:

This last part -- a college trip to Pakistan -- was news to many of us who have been following the race closely. And it was odd that we hadn't hear about it before, given all the talk of Pakistan during this campaign.

So I asked the Obama campaign for more information.

Apparently, according to the Obama campaign, In 1981 -- the year Obama transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University -- Obama visited his mother and sister Maya in Indonesia. After that visit, Obama traveled to Pakistan with a friend from college whose family was from there. The Obama campaign says Obama was in Pakistan for about three weeks, staying with his friend's family in Karachi and also visiting Hyderabad in Southern India.


Since American veterans were broad brushed as "potential right wing terrorists", then I guess it is only fair that no one is excluded from the scrutiny. Hopefully our transparent president will be forthcoming with his Indonesian passport, possibly under the alias of Barry Soetoro, to the proper authorities for review so that if there is any question about his travels, any and all doubt can be removed from the minds of the American people.
