Sounds to me like M.E. terrorists are following the Japanese 'Pearl Harbor spying' playbook .... even though it is way over 60 years old.

We need to stop handing out visas like candy and call a 2-3 year moratorium on immigration; until then, we just aren't serious adults who understand fully the implications of our current policies.

"When you begin putting pieces of the puzzle together, it starts to make sense."

Yes, it does. It's called crazy Muslims.

I read an interview with some San FranSicko moron last week in which it was stated "We don't worry about that terrorism thing too much anymore- we regard it as an East Coast thing" (!)

And exactly what effect would a terrorist attack have on these fine people of San Francisco?

Not in Our Name Vigil/March in Berkeley
As part of a "http://www.notinourname.net/kickoff.html" day of events to resist US-led terrorism and violence, a vigil and march was held on 6/6 in Berkeley to kick off a summer-long ""http://www.notinourname.net/pledge.html"" campaign.

Massive Anti-War Protest in San Francisco
4/20: Demanding justice for Palestine and displaying opposition to the Bush Regime's war machine, tens of thousands of protesters marched through SF and finally poured into the downtown Civic Center, in the city's largest and most diverse demonstration in recent memory. The march, starting in Dolores Park and stretching several miles, was organized by the International Action Center and a host of other activist groups.

A Palestinian woman took the stage to proclaim, "Our struggle is not a religious struggle... our struggle is to create a land where people can live without racism." One of the many speakers pointed directly to George Bush as complicit in the Israeli occupation of Palestine, saying, "I feel like every time Bush accuses someone of something, he's talking about himself." Her statement echoed the sentiment of many of the signs and banners held by members of the crowd.

Police remained nearly invisible, except when guarding a small pro-Israel counter-protest that had been ushered into City Hall by police in order to avoid confrontation with the crowds.

New Antiwar Coalition: International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism)

International A.N.S.W.E.R. calls for worldwide rallies against war and racism. Unless we stop President Bush and NATO from carrying out a new, wider war in the Middle East, the cycle of violence will escalate and the number of innocent victims will grow from the thousands to the tens of thousands and possibly more.

We repudiate racial profiling and anti-Arab and anti-Muslim racist attacks. We also oppose the Bush administration's attempts to take advantage of this crisis to militarize U.S. society with a vast expansion of police powers that assaults civil rights and civil liberties.

Numerous Titles

San Francisco: Campaign Against War and Hate Comes Together
By Abel Mouton
On September 20, 2001, after nine days of George Bush's war drive, nearly 700 residents of the San Francisco Bay Area crowded into the Golden Gate Lutheran Church. This Town Hall Meeting against War and Hate was called by a coalition of left, Labor, community, and immigrant rights activists. The audience boasted wide range of activists, from reactivated veterans of the anti-war movement to young people who cut their teeth in the movement against globalization, which arrived in the US with the November 1999 Battle of Seattle. A significant number of the people in attendance were at their first-ever political meeting.

The meeting opened with speeches from Global Exchange, the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee, and others. Speaker after speaker talked about the horror of the terrorist attacks in New York and in Washington, DC, but also about the likelihood that those heinous acts would be utilized by the Bush administration to pursue a policy of revenge and violence abroad and at home.

Stop the War

Anarchists deplore the attack on the World Trade Centre which killed over 3,000 people but it has become the excuse for another imperialist war in which up to 12,000 Afghan civilians have already died as a result of US attacks. This page has background articles on all the issues around the war from Islam to US foreign policy. It also has a number of PDF files which YOU can print off and distribute locally to inform others of the reality of war.

Thousands March in S.F. Protest At least 20,000 decry Bush's Mideast policy, Israeli actions

by Jim Herron Zamora
In one of the largest Bay Area protests in recent years, at least 20, 000 people marched through San Francisco yesterday in opposition to U.S. policy in the Mideast, transforming 2 miles of city streets into a sea of red, green, black and white Palestinian flags.

The demonstration was billed as a march against "the real axis of evil: war, racism, poverty," but one cause overwhelmed all others: support for the Palestinian cause.

Very interesting. I suspect that there is some NSF intecepted traffic having to do with ferry boats and terrorist attacks that we are not totally aware of.

Typical SF Examiner - this happened last October and they are just now running a story on it...

Last summer, before 9/11, I noticed quite a lot of young Arab men walking around downtown San Francsico in pairs. They didn't look like tourists or workers, they were just walking around - and looking up at the skyscrapers (that's what caught my attention, most people never look up). I haven't seen any recently. One wonders what they might have been planning.

Now, if they can just keep the terror attack within the city limits, and NOT miss City Hall, maybe SF
can start over again and make the RIGHT decisions next time.

I know, I know, I'm bad.......

Remember the Exon-Valdeze ? Creating a huge environmental disaster is a piece of cake with an oil super tanker. Just run it into the rocks or ram it with another boat. I understand most of the newer tankers are being built with double hulls but even they have problems. The object of many Middle Easterns terrorists would be to get the U.S. out of the oil business with Saudi Arabia, Kuait, and others. Maritime attacks have already occured in the past by the terrorists. Even Sadam has tried to use oil as a weapon.

San Francisco has a large July 4th fireworks celebration over the Bay, I believe in the area of Alcatraz.

I can also see these terrorists grabbing a boat and steering it right under a bridge, then................

When a terrorist cases your boat why do you not have a squad of cop cars or FBI agents waiting at the dock?

>The report stated in part: "While it is not an overt act of terrorism, it is not (considered) normal passenger activity."

Clue train coming through. This is a real part of terrorism which occurs before the overt act of terrorism you are supposed to be preventing.

If it looks suspicious, it probably is. Trust your instincts Luke and call the cops. Let has have no more of these tales about the one who got away.
