U.S. intelligence officials have told members of Congress there is a high probability that terrorists associated with Osama bin Laden will try to launch another major attack on American targets here or abroad in the near future.

At a briefing Tuesday, in response to a senator's question about the gravity of the threat, one intelligence official said there is a "100 percent" chance of an attack should the United States strike Afghanistan, according to sources familiar with the briefing.

The time for action is now. Flood our capital with phone calls and emails. If someone has email and phone numbers please post. Remember, this is not going to limit the rights of U.S. Citizens, it applies to aliens and then only to ones linked to terrorism.

100% Chance of Attack- US Congress Responsible

Gee, and here I thought terrorists were responsible. I'm actually glad Congress is reviewing this stuff to see what is essential and what is not.

Congress has decided not to give the justice department this authority (to hold non-citizens indefinitely). Congress has decided seven days is enough even though these NON-CITIZENS might have information that would prevent future attacks. Call your Senator and Representative TODAY and demand that they comply with our Presidents request.

Now let us reason together. How about a compromise.

Seven Years

The headline you have is incorrect, and makes it difficult for people who want to index the articles. It also causes a lot of duplicate articles to be posted, which is a pain in the butt when we need to find the info later and filter through all the fake headlines.

The actual title is:"FBI, CIA Warn Congress of More Attacks As Blair Details Case Against Bin Laden : Retaliation Feared If U.S. Strikes Afghanistan " and you will not the article has indeed been posted before.

It's time for Uncle Sam to lace up the leather and start booting all non-citizens of terrorist state origin. Our political correctness will be the death of us. Ann Coulter was 100% right, we know the enemy, we know they are hiding in our country and they are betting that our panty-waist PC American attitude will keep them safe from removal from the United States and their ultimate objective. God help us all!

Answer me this: If we can't identify who the enemy is – and, in fact, refuse to do so – haven't we lost already?

That means the government can make the enemy be whoever they want it to be...

And they don't have to answer to anybody...

Big Picture thinkers can see that this is a big problem...

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, see, I've been informed by a boatload of posters that PATRICK LEAHY (and, by extension, TED KENNEDY) actually love the Constitution SO MUCH that they are BLOCKING the needed PROTECTIONS of our citizenry. See, the CONSTITUTION doesn't ALLOW the protection of PERSONS in the USA from terrorist attacks...it ONLY protects suspected TERRORISTS from being harassed by John Ashcroft.

Based on the inaction of Congress, this title is very accurate.

"Remember, this is not going to limit the rights of U.S. Citizens, it applies to aliens and then only to ones linked to terrorism."

...and the income tax will only be levied temporarily against the top 1% of wage earners.

Contact the Senate Judiciary Commity NOW at 202-224-3121 and let them know that by limiting the justice department's ability to hold ALIEN SUSPECTS indefinately as Ashcroft has requested puts all U.S. Citizens at risk!

202-224-3121

Or email Sen. Leahy or Hatch

100% chance that an Islamic extremist will try to take revenge for attacking Afghanistan, and a 100% chance that one of our spy agencies will take him out before he tries anything stupid.
