press charges...speedy trial...guilty verdict...death sentence...

Castrate him and send him back home

Hey, this guy is innocent. You should have been looking into the Oklahoma bombers.

If he goes to prison............put him in with the general population. He won't last two weeks.

Constant vigilance like this is what is needed. Profiling? It's not the little ol' lady from Pasadena professing death to America!

That low-life "attorney" needs to get a real job. Or I'll pay to have him go on welfare if he can't find anything better to do than make excuses for a person who wants to kill Americans. He seems to be more mentally challenged than his idiot client. First of all, their suspicions were well-founded - what kind of idiot says that he doesn't want to learn how to drive in reverse? (An idiot in the country illegally at that. How did this person got into the country on a student visa and then fail to attend classes without anybody noticing? The whole darned government has failed to protect us. We are really on our own, people!) That little piece of lunacy would have grabbed MY attention (I drove trucks in the US Army). Second, RE: "mere paranoia," where has this attorney been since Sept 11, 01? If he's not paranoid about behavior like this, he's fooling himself in a huge way. And third, but most importantly, YES it IS profiling, and we need to do a lot more of it if we are going to get the upper hand on terrorists. Don is right - until little old ladies from Pasadena start blowing us up, I will continue to be suspicious towards everybody from the middle east, India, wherever the "heck" these terrorists come from. Thanks a million to Darlene Crawford, a fine American. Darlene, you did the right thing - you probably saved hundreds of Americans from harm. Don't let bottom dwellers like that attorney get you down. If the numb-skulls in Immigration want to keep letting foreign terrorists into this country, then we ALL have to be suspicious and paranoid, and engage in profiling every day. God Bless America for Americans.

"press charges...speedy trial...guilty verdict...death sentence..."

Wow, what a mature, well thought out statement. You sound like a 3rd-grader. Why don't you just form your own death squads and then we can be on the EXACT same level as the terrorists.

Boy, talk about throwing away American principles. You sad, cowardly reactionaries are degrading the US as much as, if not more than, the terrorists. You’re the type that would easily be swept up into mob rule and dance in the streets, holding our enemies’ heads’ up for display, as long as “everyone else was doing it.”

Ever heard of "INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty?" It’s a pretty cool concept; it prevents you from being thrown down a well, just because some journalist gets a ‘lead’ (i.e. lie) and prints allegations against you.

Sure, if he’s guilty, he should be punished severely, like life w/out parole at the very least. But people, don’t forget the reasons that make America the greatest nation in the world.

Wow, Elaine,

So, are you saying that the accused should not be afforded an attorney? (Please refer to the US Constitution---it's the highest set of laws in the land. Are you aware of this document?).

Or, are you saying that the attorney should not do all he can for his client? Which is, by the way, AGAINST the LAW and in direct violation of the oaths that American attorneys have sworn to for generations. They can be disbarred for providing anything less than a thorough, aggressive defense. I cannot believe that you don’t know this.

I am scared of people like you who want to do away with fair trials. You might have a change of heart if YOU ever need protection under the law. I guess it would be okay to have an aggressive defense attorney, as long as YOU were the one being prosecuted?

You seem like someone who would be proud of our founding documents and this little thing called The Bill of Rights. But, I guess not.

Look into the Oklahoma bombers? Do you really want to do that? You do realize that there is a connection to indonesian Al Qaeda terrorists that is going to be hushed forever.....

I'm sure the taxpayers paid for him to come to this country and then paid for the screweling that he got.

If this guy really stated "I do not want to learn to back the truck up, only to be able to drive it forward" - Then there is no reaon NOT to think he is a terrorist.

- Do you know of any truck drivers that do not back-up their trucks?

You all have it wrong. You're not being culturally sensitive and I think we should all be a little less judgemental. After all Islam is a religion of peace. Maybe Sharia prohibits backing up. Until we all read the Koran and know what it's like to follow the word of Allah, I don't think we have any right to keep this poor undocumented worker locked up. To do so is racist.

There's no question now, the two great universal issues of our day, Global Warming and The War on Terrorism have morphed into one: The Global Warming on Terrorism.
NEXT: the mass distribution of "Hug a Terrorist" bumper stickers.

This moron's attorney is named Rubin. Mr. Rubin is probably Jewish, and doesn't have the common sense to realize that the Jews are the main segment, that would be terrorists want to target. If Rubin is Jewish, he is a disgrace to his religion and is naive at best. Yes, I am Jewish and want no part of people like Rubin who would defend a suspicious muslim terrorist that wants to kill us.

Len, I have a couple of ?'s for you. First, have you ever read the Koran? Did you Ignore the part about killing those who refuse to convert? Have you watched any foreign TV of late? Also, I don't understand how you can have a problem with keeping him locked up. First, he isn't a US citizen and therefore has no rights because he is here on a student visa which has been violated.(He has not gone to a single class just in case you missed that part).

Yes, Len, I agree. I think we should also stick human rights watch on this guy and make sure he doesn't knick himself shaving in prison. Also, maybe Wal-Mart can send him a care package full of goods made by the much despised Untouchables from his fair and equitable homeland: India. At least he never had a probelm speaking to a computer technician at the Dell computer call centre. So what if he doesn't want to back up? I didn't read in the Ten Commandments or Koran any lines whcih decrees 'Thou Shallt Back Up.' .....Good job world. Keep it up.

Maybe sharia prohibits backing up? ok let him drive STRAIGHT threw your house with the hazardous material. And Ryan i think you should look up the amendments to the constitution. they signify that the constitution isn't this thing we look upon to bail us out of controversies like these. The amendments also signify that as time has gone by, the constitution doesn't apply to every situation so they ratified it, which during these days, we need to ratify it, MAking the PATRIOT ACT an amendment. There is a reason people profile becuase those people being profiled live up to it, which is apparent in thise case. You don't profile someone who succeed in every aspect in life. Because they are an asset to society and the nation, beside those people dont have a reason to become a terrorist of any sort, its the people who have no voice of their own, no individuality, they are only for the cause, but contrary to their belief, the cause is what destroys them not prolongs their belief and way of life. That is the American spirit and dream, not some idea someone came up with to give freedom to anyone and everyone. You have to earn those freedoms, by living your life to the highest potential for mankind and mankinds future, cause one day you will be gone and the earth will still be here and you be just another pawn of history unless you somehow contributed to life. And elaine wolfe, by what you said, the only way we can REALLY find him guilty is if he actually commits the crime, but i think by then, peoples lives are gone and he can never be punished, so in that sense profiling is right.

It is time to classify Islam as a criminal organization with designs on global totalitarianism.

I can't believe this guy and his stupid logic. Who cares about being culturally sensitive and the 13th century you know what. All I care about is the survival of this country.

This is a Sikh moved from India a year ago..If this person is really found out to be a terrorist, then he is not even able to be sentenced for life time. We don't need theese scums here. I don't think theese so called religious persons are even humans.They dont belong to this land.
