Reports: Oklahoman Arrested Near Turkey-Syria Border For Trying - News9.com
I think we should withhold judgement until a more creditable source picks up the story.
Everyone is sourcing PJ media, and I am not too sure about PJ media.
Again, let's forget about the current charges. Go back to 2013 and understand that the left rejected the intel that said the guy had terrorist connections. Now we are supposed to rely on the same for vetting refugees. If some refugees are denied due to terrorist ties, will Obama and the left defend them and demand they come anyway?
Why didn't the left believe them two years ago when Homeland Security put the guy on the no-fly list?
If some refugees were rejected after being vetted, will Obama accuse people of Islamophobia? It seems to me that while the vetting process isn't good, it still tags people who have either been arrested or were known to have terrorist connections. Now we know that even if something is found, it may not keep out potential threats.
Where is a link to this intel, stating he had terrorist connections in 2013?
Go to CAIR's website and see if they mention it. They were the ones saying Homeland Security got it wrong. I doubt if intel is available to the public, but they did place the guy on a no-fly list.
Should we trust Homeland Security and other agencies or not? If not, then stop the efforts to bring refugees here because if we can't trust those doing the vetting, we shouldn't bring anyone in.
