Said the Israelis have quite an intelligence operation going on here in the USA.

I'm sure we have quite an intelligence operation going on there, but if we had info on an incoming attack, we would have told them. If true, I find this particularly disturbing. Its rather personal: I am a huge supporter of Israel and often find myself arguing that the U.S. should allow them to kill Arafat. If the report is true, it would be a definite stab in the back.

Oh, I totally agree. I forget which reporter did the story, but he referenced Israel's "survival instinct." Well, okay, fine. We ARM them and give them aid so they can survive. Not to mention how many times we've up for them at the UN. I'm sure it's been a topic of discussion.

The reporter was Jim Angle. And the report was that Israeli intelligence have been monitoring Arab cells within the US for some time; but have not been cooperating with US Intel.

Further, the Fox report stated that a number of Israeli's had been detained.

Does this mean that Fox needs to be banned?

Yes, they knew an attack would help Israel...but, don't think they are crazy enough to risk us finding out about it.

For about two weeks prior to 9/11, there were rumors all over the internet about terrorists and airplanes. it was nothing specific though. A couple of friends went to Tokyo in late August for a karate tournament.Nothing unusual in the airport there.When they were ready to fly stateside the first week in September, security was very heavy..
