I am reminded of the video where bin Laden brags about how the heat from the burning airplanes caused the buildings to collapse. If they go to all the trouble of a terror strike on a building, they want to get the most bang for the buck.

Now that the media has this information, I assume they will predict the time, place, date and participants of this attack. After all, they believe that 911 was entirely preventable, don't they?

He said it was the most extraordinary detail he had seen in 24 years of intelligence work. I pray that any and all evil plans are thwarted.

And what was it that Kerry said not too long ago? That threats of terrorism are "overblown"? Something like that. And we want to turn this country over to someone like that?

Threats Described Targets in Great Detail... A senior intelligence official described the details only on condition of anonymity
Everything described in "great detail" except -- the source.

PERSPECTIVE ALERT:
When we were flying over Germany bombing city after city, we seldom concerned ourselves with the composition of building construction or the flow of pedestrians.
We simply bombed everything, and anything that remained we bombed again...and again.
In contrast, the terrorists *are* concerned with pedestrian traffic flow and construction composition...
...because they can't bomb us again and again.
They can get the occasional sneak attack through, and they have to take great pains that those few attacks can maximize the pain and terror inflicted onto us.
But that's not how wars are won. What this intel shows us is that by and large the terrorists are incapable of leading any credible war effort against us. They can inflict some terror onto some soft targets, and that's about all that they can manage to do.
And even there they seem to have trouble hitting very many targets.

And don't forget that when this information was first being briefed internatlly, but not released to the public yet, Kerry was too busy with going to Hollywood Parties, to even receive an intel briefing regarding the imminent threats.

In other articles they mention the recent capture by Pakistan of a high level Al Qaeda operative.
It's a good thing the Pakistanis captured him, if we had, we would be giving him a lawyer, and would not allow to interrogate him, other than ask him nicely, if he cared to share any info with us, and you know how much info we would get.

Yes. Even so much as putting a pair of panties on his head would have been verboten. Sometimes I wonder: just who do these people think we're fighting? Emily Post?

Information that some explosive materials may not be hot enough to melt the steel underpinnings of a building, and a reference to what materials might heat to 2,700 degrees.Oh how they would love to replicate 9/11. I don't think they expected the WTC to come down, but when it did it instantly became a model for future "projects."

To: Dog
his poll numbers actually go up when that happens.
what I would like to know is, where is the explosive material being stored that would be used in these attacks? they can't be bringing that over the border with mules, it has to be stored someplace close to the targets so it can be assembled into the truck bomb(s). where are they storing it? what kind of explosives would they use?
