A Story I Never Saw [3 Algerians In Italy Arrested For Planning Terror Worse Than 9/11 On USA]
Powerline ^ | Jan. 8, 2006 | John Hinderaker

This is from RedState:

If you're a regular reader of Turkish Press or Geo in Pakistan, you already know that on December 23, Three Algerians arrested in an anti-terrorist operation in southern Italy are suspected of being linked to a planned new series of attacks in the United States, Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu said Friday. The attacks would have targeted ships, stadiums or railway stations in a bid to outdo the September 11, 2001 strikes by Al-Qaeda in New York and Washington which killed some 2,700 people, Pisanu said.

But if you have been relying on the U.S. media to warn you about things like this, you haven't heard anything about it.

The blockbuster article by Steve Hayes linked to below notes that many of the terrorists who trained in Saddam's camps in Iraq prior to 2003 were from North Africa. It would be interesting to know whether some of the Algerians who were plotting to "outdo the September 11, 2001 strikes" were trained by the Iraqi army. It would also be interesting to know whether NSA intercepts played a role in catching these terrorists.

And you'll never this type of news in the USA because the MSM is doing everything they can to derail this president and get him impeached. We'll never see the good this president has done until the history books are written.

Let's hope those history books will be written. At the present time, with our nation divided by a congress more bent on power mongering than on performing their duty, the outcome is uncertain.

This is an enthralling and very important story that would guarantee a greater audience for any organization that chose to publish or broadcast the story.

Can there be any more compelling evidence that the illegitimate MSM outlets in the USA have ceased to be both news organizations and business enterprises? Only hateful, driven leftist ideologues would choose to ignore this story to the detriment of their business and credibility.

If anything DOES happen, they'll try to blame it on a weather balloon, air pocket, bad transmission, gas leak, depressed college kid, WHATEVER as long as we're not blaming the Religion of Pieces for it.

Isn't that the truth, that these moronic Democrats believe 9/11 was a one time strike that only happened because they didn't have a man of their party in the White House. Why the Democrats continue to want to keep America's head in the sand by trying to defeat the Patriot Act and all other programs in operation to prevent another horrendous attack by these Islamofascist death freaks.

The claim that peoples liberties and freedoms are being abused is crap. I don't know of anyone who has any less freedom since the Patriotic Act was initiated. The Flip Flopping Democrats were all for it until they decided to politicize it, in hopes of shaking up the MSM to strengthen their political force. It amazes me how stupid the Democrats can be when it comes to Protecting the Future of American people and our freedoms.

The next attack will kill ten fold the number of Americans that died during 9/11, if we don't keep our eyes open for the unexpected attacks that these terrorist are planning next. These Islamofascist are making plans for more American destruction while the Democrats are sleeping behind the wheel.

There are plenty of people who want to destroy America, the Democratic party is working hard to insure that Terror will continue by being so weak in the knee's and stupid of mind. George Bush must insure that the Republican Party continues to lead America to a WIN in this War on Terror.

Those who want to use this as a springboard to attack liberals should check out the Progressive magazine. It's editor was on ca-an this morning and she definately lives in what Rush Limbaugh calls a parallel universe. The sad thing is that it prompted people to call in and complain about their phone service. Unfortunatly, they are more ready to believe that clicks on their phone are the result of a bloated, government protected monoploy than by evesdroping. I do worry about the 10 million who listen to Art Bell and subscribe to outrageous conspiracy theories. and, I think all this opportunistic ginning up of issues to raise money contributes to and exploits this tendency.

When did the NYT publish the wiretapping article?

Was it after this date? I think they realize that in order for another attack to occur (so they can blame Bush for it) these pre-attack arrests will have to be stopped.
