#1 Just in case we didn't already know the purpose of their network is spying. Glad to hear Simcox isn't a stupid tool.

Beware minutemen. Sounds like they are spying on you.

#2 If I were the minute men - I'd be sure and spread all kinds of disinformation to these spies. Get your "unwilling", "unknowing" and "willing" experts" ready and give them so much garbage information that they have no idea what they are looking at.

#3 "Of course the *best* way to sneak into the US is to cross the Mexican "Tortured Desert", then to take "Hell's Trail" through the Barry M. Goldwater Firing Range. It is best to travel light. The weak Americans stay out of there, but a strong Arab or African man would have no problem on foot. Once you are north of the border, then seek out the Apache Indians who hunt there. They have long been oppressed by the white man, and so they will help you on your way. From there, it's just a day or two to Detroit."

#4 nice that Simcox didn't play ball. He also put McCain (who's a limpwrist at enforcing the border) on the spot. Kyl's a good man

#5 Simcox has contacted the offices of Arizona's two Republican U.S. senators – John McCain and Jon Kyl – to invite them to do interviews with al Jazeera,

There will be cameras there, so McCain will show.

#7 With your past repporting of al-Qaida recruiting in South America this will be their "how to" video. Hats off to Simcox for bringing this out. Lets hope McCain does the interview and our boys follow these ass holes back and kill them and their friends.

#8 FYI, the "Tortured Desert" is appropriately named, with mountains of grey volcanic rock that look like modeling clay torn apart then shot with buckshot. There are almost no lifeforms there, no water, and not even any indians. It continues North as the BMG Firing Range, and just to drive Hell's Trail you are required by the military to take 2 4WD vehicles and medium-range radio transmitter, and rifles, when they aren't actively shelling the place. Unexploded ordnance litters the nasty terrain. It is patrolled by a team of full-blood Apache Indians who "hunt" drug smugglers, are paid by the feds, and don't carry handcuffs. All-in-all, you're looking at about a 300 mile hoof through the nastiest mountainous rocky desert in North America. I wouldn't send Saddam there when he is hung it is so nasty.

#9 Maybe we can offer a free pass and amnesty to the Mexican who rats out an "Other Than Mexican" person trying to cross. Maybe we already have?

#10 Again, I advocate paying a bounty to any Mexican national who rats out a non-Mexican crossing the border. Paying them anywhere from $100 - $50,000 would have the same effect as offering a $10M bounty on the north side of the border. The important thing is to not combine it with any other anti-illegal alien plan. It must be done *solely* to keep terrorists out of the US.

#11 The Arab TV news network criticized by the new Iraqi government and others for its anti-American bias and willingness to carry the messages of terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida, is headed for the U.S.-Mexico border to document how easy it is to enter America illegally.

If this has the effect of forcing the government to actually do something substantial about border security, then I'm all for it. And maybe it should be shown on U.S. TV with subtitles, if necessary.

#12 Document? they're looking to see where the best place to cross is. Compared to the weather and terrain over there, our southern border is like a walk in the proverbial park. I like the idea of having the Mexicans turn them in and getting rewarded for it. That actually just might work.
