Terror roundup widens

LONDON -- Arrests of young Muslims in a terrorist plot to blow up U.S.-bound passenger jets soared yesterday, with Pakistan and Italy rounding up dozens of suspects. Britain froze bank accounts of 19 of 24 persons arrested a day earlier.

Pakistan said it was holding Rashid Rauf, a 35-year-old Briton with links to al Qaeda, whom it identified as operations manager of plans to destroy up to 10 planes crossing the Atlantic at the height of tourist season.

Links to Italy were less clear, where police raided Internet cafes, money-transfer offices and long-distance phone call centers catering to Muslims and arrested 40 persons.

The arrests in Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence, Naples and other cities were "part of an extraordinary operation that followed the British anti-terrorist operation," the Interior Ministry said.

British police said they hoped financial, telephone and other records would provide evidence leading to others involved in the suicide scheme, which if successful could have produced a death toll higher than September 11, 2001.

People need to think long and hard about what these people intended to do. Forget the "why?" question; it's irrelevant for now.

Just focus on who they wanted to kill and realize without any doubt whatsoever, (say it out loud) "they want to kill me."

Say it again and again, "They want to kill ME, MY family, MY friends!"

You don't believe it yet. It's still just words. Say it again until it becomes real for you. Say it. Say it over and over again until you know, KNOW that it's not just something happening somewhere else, to someone else.

Say it out loud. "They want to kill ME, MY family, MY friends!"

Now, execute each and every one of them. No more dicking around hamstringing ourselves with political correctness. THEY WANT TO AND WILL KILL US just because we are who we are.

Now, execute each and every one of them.

"Say it out loud. "They want to kill ME, MY family, MY friends!"

Absolutely! I've known that definitively since the morning of September 11, 2001. Anyone who doesn't get it should seek immediate psychiatric care. But of course they won't because they think they're fine and that people like me are the one's who are in trouble.
