A moving tale of detainee shuffle

"A highly placed administration source said the reports showed a new and surprising increase in radicalism in the poor Arabian Peninsula nation. But one blogger — suspected of ties to the radical and possibly un-American Tea Party movement — dismisses these claims. He reports that Abdulmutallab merely did a Google Earth search of downtown San'a and printed out a snapshot of posters on the windows of the al-Qaeda recruiting station there. (The station hadn't been identified specifically as a recruitment center by the administration because of the confusing 30-foot-long sign "Jihadi Cultural Enrichment & Suicide Belt Refill Center: We Welcome Ex-Gitmoers.") The posters reportedly say, "Obama is a meanie" and "Gitmo North sucks 2."

The administration denies that Abdulmutallab has access to the Internet from his penthouse suite of offices in the McNamara Federal Building in Detroit."
