Yep, it's all over the local radio and I guess CBS and FOX have it too. Unbelievable, these "cells" are all over the country, it's appalling that Kerry thinks we are over blowing the threat.

This brings back my memories of 9/11, it's unbelievable that the Dems have already forgotten about this horrific tragedy.
