Of course there's sleeper cells (OBL agents) hidden anf housed amongst the Muslim population in OUR country! Why do you think the Muslim lawyers are screaming so loud against "profiling"?

The documents show that Hadhramautt, a remote valley in eastern Yemen, is one of four places where new terror camps are being established.

One down, four to go. They'll learn the hard way.

While I appreciate the forwarning, one has to wonder what these "sleepers" are thinking right now? Certainly they watch CNN. Prior to 9/11, they probably thought their attacks would result in a humiliated United States conceding foreign policy demands. What they got was a formidable pounding in three short months and the few remaining members of their beloved organization fleeing to Pakistan with their tails between their legs.

If Mohommad Atta had known that before the year's end Al Qaeda would be disbanded, the Taliban effectively destroyed, Sharon pummeling the Palestinians and US flags over Kandahar and Kabul, would he have commanded those planes on 9/11? Will any future terrorists do the same?

One thing is for sure, since 9/11, life has gotten increasingly worse for Islamic terror movements and their sympathizers.
