Huh?
This article didn't spend enough time focusing on if any of the accused terrorists' civil rights were violated, their phones tapped, or their funding was looked at by the US government. Also, are their holding cells adequately air conditioned?
"A New York City law enforcement official told this writer that the suspects hoped to inflict damage on the US ECONOMY, first and foremost."
I'm a broken record on this and will continue to be one: Since 9-11, the #1 issue on voters' minds is stopping another Al Qaeda attack.
I don't care what push polls say, what Dems say, what those primarily interested in illegal immigration, abortion or gas prices say--9-11 and preventing another attack by transportation-hijacking AL Qaeda is the #1 issue this November.
I think that when it boils down to it, that you're right.
But, the public needs reminding of that. The media lulls them with the other stuff. If someone doesn't get a few ads up there showing that burning, crumbling WTC, then they tend to get lulled to sleep.
YOU couldn't be a terrorist....they don't have any pubs.
:>)
(ps: what if they targeted all the breweries?)
"could not" should say "could"
Agreed. The federal government needs to pull the plug on PBS and put that money into a C-SPAN-like "WOT Channel".
Or vice-versa.
LOL, seriously speaking though, during the cold dark days of the Cold War 1985 - 1987 when Soviet Military might was at its peak and we were frantically re arming to catch up. There was a real fear of Invasion, and I did attend a number of courses and training exercises set up on how to deal with a Soviet Occupation.
In reality any who took up arms would of been classed as Terrorists to the Soviets.
Islam (with Koran as final authority) is nasty and evil and opportunist. Islamist plots are nasty and evil, and opportunist. Trying to figure them out is a bit like trying to figure Satan out, it involves trying to make sense out of things that fundamentally don't make sense. The most hopeful sign is that most Mooses are pretty clueless about Western society, as they show in their blogs and editorials. They do less damage aiming at a society they can't see clearly.
Seeing what the Afghanis did to the Soviets, and what the Brits & US did to the Afghanis in about 2 weeks, I'd be tempted to bet that the Brits alone could have beaten the Soviets back then....knowing what we know now.
Yep. Al Qaeda is to the Democrats what the IRA was to Sinn Fein.
And last night's news was full of train stories: trains transporting chlorine all over the country, what a terrorist target! A train representative agreed and said they'd 'taken steps' to protect themselves. Why does the MSM think Islamofascists need to be reminded that US trains carry hazardous materials, which, if exploded in a city, would kill hundreds of thousands?
This "Hawaii Reporter" looks like my kind of newspaper!
PERSONAL OPINION: AQ has a history of showing interest in the US economy and how they can affect it.
