Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

The beauty of it is sharing your intelligence with other TM’ers and they with you. Then there’s the LEO’s who get the reports, hopefully enough of them are rogue & can bypass BO

A plane that took off from a Brooksville airport without permission Wednesday afternoon was forced down by military jets about an hour later in Collier County.

Clark said the pilot was met by local authorities but didn't know if the person was arrested.

Laura Brown, another FAA spokeswoman, said there are no signs the incident was more than a contract dispute.

"We don't have any indication at this point that this was a terrorist act," Brown said.

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Security officers arrested a young Somali man attempting to board a Dubai-bound plane in November in the capital Mogadishu with a suspicious white powder, liquid and syringes, Somali officials said on Wednesday.

The truth will set us all free, and when we finally find it, all those anti-constitutional “if it makes me feel safe, do it” laws will be worthless:

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials have admitted that a second man possibly carrying explosives was detained after last week’s aborted plane bombing attack

FBI Detained Suspect No. 2 in Flight 253 Terrorist Attempt

The Sunday incident on another Amsterdam to Detroit flight was caused by a "sick passenger," and is not so far being treated as an attempted terrorist attack, according to a U.S. national security official.

However, another senior US official said that there were suspicious aspects to the incident, in that the passenger in question reportedly spent a very long time in an airplane lavatory. News reports say the passenger in question is now being detained by US authorities

Airline attacker spent time in Houston

The man accused of trying to blow up a plane on Christmas Day spent 17 days in Houston last year.

Umar Farouk Abdul-Mutallab is charged with trying to bring down the Northwest Airlines flight.

The Nigerian national was restrained by passengers after he tried to set off an explosive before landing.

Federal officials are following leads as to why Abdul-Mutallab was in Houston. The details are classified.

Airline bomb suspect studied Islam at Houston school with Detroit branch

The man charged with the Christmas bombing attempt of an airliner headed for Detroit took classes at an Islamic institute in Houston that also has a branch in metro Detroit, an institute leader said today.

Nigerian defendant Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, in federal custody in Milan, attended classes in 2008 in Houston at the AlMaghrib Institute, said institute Vice President Waleed Basyouni.,p> Abdulmutallab told instructors he was studying mechanical engineering and finance in London, Basyouni said.

“AlMaghrib Institute is working with the authorities and will continue to cooperate as needed on this case,” he said in an e-mail to the Free Press. In Houston, besides operating the institute, Basyouni is the imam or religious leader of a major Muslim worship and community complex called Clear Lake Islamic Center.

The institute’s Web site shows 14 sites in North America, including one listed as “Dearborn/Windsor,” and says it is a nonprofit organization with thousands of students — mostly from the United States — that teaches about Islam in depth. Abdulmutallab attended while in Houston on Aug. 1-17, 2008, paying $2,250 for seminars on Islamic manners and history, Basyouni said.

The institute discourages talk of religious war and terrorism among students, Basyouni told the Houston Chronicle today. Of Abdulmutallab, he said, “He showed no signs of extremism.”

Never. I have never trusted a government website to tell me the truth about anything. I go where angels fear to tread...and I WILL find the truth.

The rash of “terror” reports is daunting and meant to cause fear. The press is aiding this sense of impending doom and there is a definite pattern here as these reports seem to be coming minute by minute all over the world.
This usually signals something vast while we are sweating the small stuff. Distract from what is really going on, and I find it somewhat uncomfortable that both bam and pelosis are off the mainland in relative bubbles away from the public eye.
I also find myself questioning the fact that CIA had info about “the Nigerian” and now that it has gone public that the system has completely broken down, EIGHT CIA officers are just wiped out in Afghanistan in the blink of an eye by a suicide bomber who just walked right in to a forward base without so much as a search.
That Detroit “bomber” had help getting into the US and it had to come from the State Department who absolutely knew the man’s name and that he was a terrorist planning to do us harm because his father told them so. That makes someone/s at the US diplomat level complicit in this crime and there is no way they can squirm away from it.
So many dots and so little time.

Your assessment would certainly make sense, as well why Bengi Net meetings are taking place and the call home for the diplomates. The fact this has not been done before is disturbing..in light of all else.

Has anyone determined where Hillary is?? She’s been all but off the face of the earth. No comments to events all week and then some.

How about Biden???? Is he at the Isle too? or vanished.
Why do I feel like our country is a sitting duck! (dah)
