Tales of terrorists breaching border overblown - so far.  Threat haunts officials despite lack of incidents

Quote
The story sounded plausible: sixty Afghan and Iraqi terrorists smuggled in by a Mexican drug cartel to attack an Army post in Arizona.
Quote
In 2005, U.S. Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston, appeared on a radio talk show hosted by Sean Hannity and dropped a bombshell.

"They had an al-Qaeda terrorist, an Iraqi national who was on the FBI's terrorist list as an al-Qaeda member, in the Brewster County jail," Mr. Culberson told Mr. Hannity.

"He had been apprehended by Mexican authorities, handed over by the Mexican authorities to the Hudspeth County sheriff, with whom the Mexican authorities had a good working relationship."

It was great radio. And it was untrue. Brewster County Sheriff Ronnie Dodson told the Big Bend Sentinel a few days later that the congressman got his stories mixed up. He had no terrorists in his jail.
