But he just wants to fly!.....why are they picking on the poor muslims? Student Arrested After Pilot Uniform Found Friday, September 16, 2005 sfgate.com (09-16) 20:39 PDT Memphis, Tenn. (AP) -- A university student from Egypt was ordered held without bond after prosecutors said they found a pilot's uniform, chart of Memphis International Airport and a DVD titled "How an Airline Captain Should Look and Act" in his apartment. The FBI is investigating whether Mahmoud Maawad, 29, had any connection to terrorists. He is awaiting trial on charges of wire fraud and fraudulent use of a Social Security number. Maawad, who is in the United States illegally, told the judge during a hearing Thursday that he is studying science and economics at the University of Memphis. "My school is everything. I stay in this country for seven years; I stay for the school," he said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Parker said Thursday that the airport-related items were found during a Sept. 9 search. "The specific facts and circumstances are scary," Parker said. U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Thomas Anderson ruled that Maawad be held without bond. "It is hard for the court to understand why he has a large concentration of those (aviation) items, and nothing else to indicate Mr. Maawad plans to stay in the community," Anderson said. Maawad had ordered $3,000 in aviation materials, including DVDs titled "Ups and Downs of Takeoffs and Landings,""Airplane Talk,""Mental Math for Pilots" and "Mastering GPS Flying," FBI agent Thad Gulczynski testified. The company reported Maawad to authorities when he didn't pay for $2,500 of merchandise it had delivered, Gulczynski said.

The French turned out to be right about Iraq. So where are all the Bushies blaming the French for terrorism now? In fact if we had listened to the French and taken our time we'd have 2000 American troops still alive, 200 billion bucks back and less terrorism in the world. I notice the GOP congressman who invented "freedom fries" is now a staunch opponent of the war demanding Bush pull out. We also now know Saddam had nothing to do with 9-11 and Bush botched the chance to stop 9-11 after he was warned on 8-6. The "blame the French" period was a shameful one when all the Bushies were lying-lying-lying at once, and at the same time smearing our own war heros. What a bunch of liars and crooks Bushies have been. But that period of their greatest power was actually their most shameful. They became almost like Nazis, and ended up doing this country great harm.
