Wow - this is extremely liberal use of the word "Chicago". They might as well refer to Bakersfield as "Los Angeles".

Oh no. It's Cindy Sheehan.

So maybe the psychos at the Huffington Post will retract their criticisms of non-urban anti-terror funding?

FYI:

Rockford IL is sometimes considered a far NW suburb of Chicago...

All it's going to take is one lone jihadi who slips through the cracks and successfully blows himself up on a city bus or a train or what-have-you. Then they'll come out of the woodwork.

Yeah. Kinda reminds me of all the times they absolutely ruled out terrorism before the flames were even out.

They sure are quick to point THAT out.

Yeah. Too quick IMO.

Doesn't matter if his name is Bubba or Mohammed- if he was planning a terrorist attack, he should be dispatched to his maker asap with minimal waste of taxpayers money.

The suspect is being described as a "lone wolf" style terrorist and is not believed to have ties to any organized terrorist group.

Strange, ABC's local affiliate seems to believe otherwise (reply #20).

The suspect -- who has been linked to al Qaeda

was acting on his own...no connection to any cell..

I'm sure they watched the guy long enough to determine he was a lone whacko. They get more points for bagging multiple terrorists, so they're not going to jump the gun if they think there's a better catch.

Still, just because you're acting on your own doesn't mean you weren't, say, encouraged towards extremism at your local mosque. As a random, whimsical example.

The shopping mall where the suspect allegedly planning the attack has been released.

Maybe it was in protective custody.

I hope it wasn't Woodfield Mall in Shaumburg. I shop there whenever I go to Chicago. A friend and I were planning on heading there next weekend.

>>>>>>It sure the hell isn't Bob Smith<<<<<

Probably not, but not impossible. Think of Richard Reid.

OTOH, think of all those in BJ's administration who aided and abetted AQ. None of them was a towelhead.

Think of those who laundered funds for AQ in Washington DC.

Clean cut, all American boys.
