Sister Toldah picks up more info:

My first thought after reading this was “why would a (possible) terrorist have a bomb in Goose Creek, SC, of all places?” This AP piece sheds some light on a possibility:

Authorities closed a highway outside Charleston for more than five hours Saturday night after police found explosives in the trunk of a car, broadcast outlets reported.

State and federal law enforcement officials were on the scene after the traffic stop in Goose Creek. Television stations reported that two men riding in the vehicle were detained.

Goose Creek is home to the Naval Weapons Station and the U.S. Naval Consolidated Brig, a military prison where enemy combatants have been held.

From WCBD:

The FBI says there is no immediate threat. The feds are working with state and local law enforcement in Goose Creek after Berkeley County deputies found explosives in a vehicle Saturday night.

Agents deployed a robot and pulled what looks like a duffle bag from the trunk.

WCIV has a video report here on this developing story.

Dan Riehl has a great link round up.

They are painting this a no big deal, but it does make you wonder.

And how long till CAIR comes out with their race card?
