An al Qaeda sleeper agent "wrapped in his cloak of American citizenship" has secretly pleaded guilty to aiding Osama bin Laden by scouting out bridges and railroads for destruction in New York and Washington, Attorney General John Ashcroft said yesterday.

"When asked about secrecy in this case and 15 others that remain sealed, Mr. Ashcroft said the Faris developments were kept secret to avoid "impairing very important interests."

I applaud the "secrecy" of the Bush Administration! 15 cases remain sealed - - who knows what other terrorists plots have been foiled.

Faris admitted he bought 2,000 sleeping bags for al Qaeda terrorists

That's a lot of sleeping bags

fyi

Hope those sleeping bags were for al Qaeda personnel OUTSIDE the country.

If we could just get some common sense sleeping bag legislation passed, and limit purchases to one bag a month, things like this would not happen.
