From Arizona Daily Sun:
[T]he officers uncovered 30 kilograms of cocaine, or about 66 pounds, bundled in black electrical tape and concealed under a false floor near the tongue. The access point was by way of the light housing, which concealed bolts that kept a flip-down panel in place in front of a sliding metal plate.
The cocaine was bound from Tucson to Iowa. The drugs have an estimated street value of about $480,000.
Police seized the truck, trailer and ATV, along with the drugs and $12,000 in cash.
Driver George A. Freeman, 34, of Tucson, and passenger Patrick L. Sams, 54, of Anamosa, Iowa, were booked into the Coconino County jail on charges of transportation of narcotic drugs for sale and possession of narcotic drugs for sale.
According to AP version:
[Sgt. Brad] Elliott says the men were going to Iowa from Tucson.

From Spencer Daily Reporter:
”I will tell you that, if [Barack Obama] is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they will declare victory in this War on Terror.”
King thinks radical Islamists will say the United States has capitulated because the Obama administration would be pulling troops out of any conflict associated with al-Qaida.
“Additionally, his middle name (Hussein) does matter,” King said. “It matters because they read a meaning into that in the rest of the world. That has a special meaning to them. They will be dancing in the streets because of his middle name. They will be dancing in the streets because of who his father was and because of his posture that says: Pull out of the Middle East and pull out of this conflict.”
