The Hollywood morons gotta rethink their position about the justification for terrorism (America policies and Israel's existence) when you jet across the country and around the world all the time.
It's just amazing to me that the fact we stopped this attack will spare the culprits their just retribution. Had we stopped 9/11, the Taliban would still be running Afghanistan.
Celebrity typso ping. I wonder which American Babs thought Bush should be making safer. On a side note, Andrea's [sic] is pretty badly misplaced. Do I get a double word score for that?
I wish that Fox news, or someone would start their morning programs EVERYDAY with the clip of Michael Moore professing "There is no terrorist threat".
Hillary and Kerry were awfully quiet too, just like so many libs were after 9/11. Don't worry, they'll soon crawl back out of their holes.
Wait until the islamics bankroll one of the H'weird movies.
I just checked...nothing on Michael Moore's website to indicate anything about a terrorist plot.
Still the article crowing about Lieberman.
i don't know. Oliver Stone's been pretty noisy (and rich) lately. Now that he's done the world trade center, he is contemplating doing the "real" version.
Probably sorry the 8/16 plot was foiled so he couldn't do a feel good version of that.
And another ... ping.
Frankly, I think this was all a plot to promote Oliver Stone's new movie . . .
bump
The Hollywood leftards may be silent, but some newspapers' editoral staffs don't know when to sit down and STFU:

Law Enforcement Wins a Round Against Terror
Thousands live today thanks to British policing. Americans should be thankful and recognize the broader lessons for fighting terrorists.
On Thursday, British authorities announced they had arrested 24 people allegedly plotting to detonate explosives on flights from London to America. Whenever law enforcement wins against terrorists, it is cause to cheer, but Americans should not ignore the truths that this success reinforces.
Unlike recent arrests in the United States that featured small cabals fantasizing around a kitchen table, the British arrests appear to be the real deal. Officials say conspirators were within days of smuggling liquid explosive aboard multiple planes.
The death count would easily have reached the thousands, including many Americans.
Fortunately, Scotland Yard was on the ball. It identified and investigated the threat. Then police arrested the suspects.
President Bush responded to events across the Atlantic by falling back on simplistic rhetoric: "This nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation."
The arrests had nothing to do with war. No military troops met on a battlefield. British police and other law enforcement cooperated with intelligence agencies to prevent a terrorist attack.
What Bush calls a "war" is so only in the sense that the "war on drugs" is one too. It is a metaphor for a fight against a perceived enemy that is not a typical armed state. Real war is something else.
That does not stop the Bush administration from demanding literal interpretation. The nomenclature grants cover for its unprecedented executive power grab.
It needs such cover even more after the British cracked a terrorism case without detaining prisoners indefinitely at Guantanamo Bay, condoning torture and otherwise eviscerating the rule of law.
The arrests also undermine the argument that the United States invaded Iraq to fight terrorists over there instead of here. Terrorists fight alongside insurgents in Iraq and continue to threaten the West.
Those who portray Iraq as the linchpin of the fight against terrorism willfully frame a misbegotten invasion as something it is not.
The world remains a dangerous place, but this week, the British demonstrated that staving off terrorists is not a hopeless cause. A rational strategy brings to bear the forces of law enforcement that have long stood as a bulwark against chaos.
Misdirection and propaganda have no place in that fight.
