Good heavans! 1-19 and 9-11. I see what you and the earlier post mean....
re 271
Source?
Also could be a probe to see what our response is.
AP wire story is toned down quite a bit from the local news reports.
I guess we will see what happens. Hopefully no attack.
What about something planned for tomorrow, in Boston? Would that not still kind of be a slap at Bush (in their eyes)?

And any competent wilderness-type people could bring a few hundred pounds of cargo across the northwest border with British Columbia. There are a few camera monitors and other types of surveillance, but nothing that couldn't be defeated. After all, it is foggy much of the time now, and snow covers tracks, and animals confuse infrared sensors. That mission would be so easy for special ops types it wouldn't even qualify as an difficult exercise. If a snowmobile or ATV met the intruders at a pre-arranged place for a cargo hand-off the intruders could then disappear back over the border, undetected.
If the payload were shielded cesium, cobalt, or some other special source, the next step would be to transport the material to an area of legitimate isotope sources (such as a dense medical park) for weapon assembly and detonation. The presence of other radioactive sources within 100 yards or so would considerably slow detection efforts.
I'm really surprised a scenario like this hasn't already occurred.
"...too late for anything to happen on the East Coast to obtain maximum casualities..."
Some of those planes didn't perform maximum damage either. Plans aren't always perfect, and this time I say 'Thank God' if there is one tonight that didn't go perfectly. Better yet, if we catch them and prevent it. FReegards....
``They were dropped by the source at a location. He literally threw them over a fence from Mexico to the U.S. side,'' said the source. ``There are pictures of the four Chinese and some names but just how accurate they are remains a question''
``They tried to set up a meet with him but he didn't show up.''
They should have jumped the fence to grab this guy to determine who he was but I'm sure that would have led to an an outcry from Mexico.
The Chinese send their young people out into the free world to learn how to be capitalists. First they sent their best and brightest to graduate schools and into top jobs in industry, now it is lower level entrepreneurs. These young people are not really free and are expected to repay their families and country for the privileges they have been granted, one way or another. I was told this by a young Chinese maritime lawyer that I sat next to at a dinner.
it's 530...rush hour traffic is jammed up in every major city, not to mention the commuter trains are all packed. I'd say there is plenty of time.
That is a likely timeline, given how all this stuff is breaking out this afternoon.
Only question is if the Threat Level is raised, will Inauguration plans be altered or changed tomorrow?
Is there any more news on how serious this threat is?
I think I would, considering my sister and her family live there, right near Logan Airport and the Aquarium. Both my parents are gone. All I have are my two sisters and their kids.
*****************
I'm not sure we've ever agreed on anything prior to this, but I agree with the above.
I sincerely hope that this threat is a hoax.
Disinfo for misdirection.
Why bother with Boston. Some of the terrorists best friends are in Boston.
The Feds, and everyone else, needs to keep their eye on the ball (in DC.)
Bump
I live in the Boston area and am just hearing about this now!
CLOSE THE GODDAMN BORDERS!!!!!!!!!
we're one big somewhat quarrelsome family folks...what happens in Boston, happens to all of us....
