Okay. If I didn't know better I'd swear they were making this **** up.

Seriously. Was their any need to divert the flight? Did they really think he was going to hijack it? What did they think he was going to do? Sing Moonshadow at them? :lol:

Naw, "Cat's In The Cradle" has been declared a weapon of mass destruction.  Which is utterly retarded since the real weapon is Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On"

More importantly, if he really was a terrorist, wouldn't it be better not to let him on the plane in the first place?

Well, it's nothing to do with him being Cat Stevens, and more to do with his real name, which include the word 'Islam' and therefore is automatically assumed by the FBI to be a Terrorist ;)

Technically he was linked to terrorist funding, which I guess is reason enough to keep him out. But divert the plane? :doubt:

Cats in the Cradle is one of my more favorite songs. Dang.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Yeah, and you have to be careful who gets on flights, you never know who might be backing the bad guys ;)

Cause he might stage a concert?

Even if he is raising money for terrorists I somehow doubt that Cat Stevens is a big enough threat to the US that there was any need to do that. Just arrest and deport him when the plane gets to Washington.

How so? Did he contribute to the democratic party? :D
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Or of course, the Syrian export, which is believed to contain subliminal messages to terrorist groups :-
