does it have to do anything with the recent arrests of the pakistanis in USA….
but i thought they were involved with the taliban…..

OK – just what is suspicious activity and why is it a crime? Apparently just being an American after you have been embarrassed by the OBL fiasco is a crime.Recommend
How come if US arrests or kills some one, even though they are ‘alleged’ or ‘suspected’, u consider them criminals and if the incident is opposite, u suspect on the validity of arrest??
If u have followed news well, first DeHaven was arrested and US arrested some imams, including a woman on suspicion.
This is not about understanding law or to have wisdom. This is about commonsense.Recommend
@ Raza :: they would be relate you with the Taliban in such a dramatic way that you wont be able to understand or comprehendRecommend
Suspicious activity sounds about a threatening as being an American in Pakistan with an expired visa – suppose your going to deport him to Dubai as well.Recommend
No raza, its about hundred raymond davis out on street involved in suspicious activities. Recommend

@massileaks these suspected raymonds are the ones who found out about obl place of hidingRecommend
This arrest incident smell like a rotten case of revenge, in a pathetic pitiful attempt to hide the embarrassment and ridicule of Pakistan and its suspicious citizens this is a childish ploy to divert the attention of the massive intelligence failure of our highly paid intelligence and government.Recommend
American officials not civilians will be chased every where in this world if possible. They really destroyed this world like every super power. Their capitalism is collapsing like socialism in Afghanistan. That’s why they are afraid of Islam as a systemRecommend
What if the americans start arresting any Pakistani they see in the US for looking “suspicious”? Then the Pakistani media will start crying about Islam bashing.Recommend
