Ping.

All of us need to keep our eyes and ears open. I have no problem telling my friends to pay particular attention when you see someone that looks like they are from a Muslim country. They will strike again, it's just a question of when, and how big will it be. When they do, there won't be enough left of the savages to wrap up in that rag on their heads.
I turn on Fox news as soon as I wake up every afternoon to make sure it hasn't happened again. Is any one else that paranoid?

"Is any one else that paranoid?"

I wouldn't say paranoid, but I would say most of us are that vigilant now. I only hope that vigilence and desire not to be murdered by a terrorist extends to some in the Muslim community.

There was a pre- 9/11 story in NYC about a new immigrant (from where, I forget, make a Paki) who was lodging with other immigrants from his home country, who had been here awhile. I don't think he personally knew them, it was sort of a "crash pad" for him. He figured out they were plotting some criminal act (I think they were going to bomb a subway). He went to a cop on the beat, and had a heck of a time making the cop understand what he had to say, since he didn't speak English. Thank heavens he finally succeed, the joint was raided and the attack thrwarted.

So, yeah, there are probably plotters out there right now. We all gotta keep our eyes and ears open.

Ah, Khalid! The playboy sheikh! The guy who used to buzz around in helicopters to impress his whores!

The guy who attended school in America and plotted to kill thousands of Americans!

I wonder how ol' Khalid is doing these days?

[El Laton Caliente]

The problem is the guy we have in custody by that name is several inches TALLER than the one that attended collage in the USA.

Thing that make you go Hummmm.

I have read that there is good reason to believe that the fellow we arrested is actually an Iraqi Intelligence Agent that assumed the ID during the time Iraq held Kuwait then went to work for Al-Q.

I have a on tenterhooks feeling too. I can't resist turning on the news or checking in here frequently, like I am waiting for something. Horrible thing.

"But the FBI is investigating a possible link to al Qaeda and allegations he was trying to procure chemical weapons. "

That is why it's amazing that they were able to foil terrorist attacks until now.

Every one of them needs to be exterminated, the civil liberatrians' whining nonwithstanding.
