And a repuke politican is trying to vouch for the guy in order to get charges dropped...if only people in Gitmo were allowed to have that done.

A former Oklahoma City mayor says a man arrested for carrying an explosive device in an airline carry-on bag is a "fine young man and no terrorist."

Charles Dreyling was taken into custody yesterday at the Will Rogers World Airport security checkpoint.

Ex-Mayor Kirk Humphreys, who also is Dreyling's landlord, says Dreyling created what he called a "glorified firecracker" and forgot it was in his luggage. No details have been provided as to why or how Dreyling created the device.

An assistant US attorney describes the device as a carbon-dioxide cartridge with a black-power detonator.
