NOTHING LIKE IGNORING A WARNING – AT 8:47 A.M. ET:  Absolutely fascinating story of one of the two sweet, multicultural innocents arrested on terror charges last week, while trying to make it to Somalia.  From Fox News:

An administrator at a New Jersey high school says one of two terrorism suspects over the weekend was considered so dangerous as a student that he was taught outside the classroom with a security guard present.

North Bergen High School spokesman Paul Swibinski tells the New York Post and the Record of New Jersey that Mohamed Mahmood Alessa was placed "on home instruction" three months after starting at the school in 2004.

Swibinski says administrators feared for the safety of other students and staff. He did not say what made them consider Alessa to be dangerous.

Authorities say the 20-year-old Alessa and 24-year-old Carlos Eduardo Almonte tried to fly out of New York's Kennedy Airport on Saturday in hopes of getting terrorism training in Somalia.

COMMENT:  So they had all that warning, and apparently not much was done about it.  When a studnet needs a security guard present to receive his education, maybe the case should have gone further up the line.  We'll see if this comes out at his trial.
