US terror plot to ‘wipe out a neighbourhood’

Hope it doesn't come to this neighborhood. There are probably 50 households here, many, or a couple of them with actually married couples, and 5 horses, and 50 cute dogs, and a large but unknown number of housecats outnumbered by missing housecat notices, and a family of moose, and a hundred territorial squirrels, and 10,000 voles, and several bicycle elite summer people, and about 200 pickup trucks and noisy little old compact cars. Who would be left to drive the trucks and cars to the mall 7 times a day? That's just the voles that come by the kitchen for a handout, there could be more feral voles that we don't see.

Thanks for the tracking down the info. This may lead to a new breakthrough. I've been mostly out this evening, and now it is time to get some sleep. I know you'll ping me to anything new, but if I don't respond or acknowledge its because I'm catching some sleep.

I don't think we're close to a major catch, but one of these days I hope to savor a first cup of coffee and read about the capture of OBL, or one of the two Z's.

“I, too, was ready to be blown up but they stopped me and we obey the will of God.”

How convenient. Man, these particular terrorists are really scum.

The transcripts reveal how Ahmed gradually managed to persuade Payumi to become a suicide bomber. “We young people must be the first ones to sacrifice ourselves,” he said. When Payumi finally announces, “I am ready to sacrifice myself,” Ahmed replies: “Consider yourself already in paradise.”

Recruits are evidently no problem. Must be what Rumsfeld was alluding to when he pondered if the Iraq invasion would create more terrorists than it destroyed.

You would think though, that after a while, the saps would begin to wonder why bin Laden and the leadership, if they're so ostensibly willing to die, and so big on getting to paradise, they never seem to avail themselves of opportunities to bring these 'blessings' into being for them.

Some new adjective needs to be created to accurately describe such reprehensible people. Cause the ones that exist don't seem to be up to the task.
