It took them nearly a year to reach the obvious conclusion every one else figured out back last July? Oh my goodness. I suppose that's progress.

Can you believe this? A year?

Most people already knew it was terrorism. This is big news-- seriesly.

Shooting at LA airport El Al counter ruled terrorist act

Just about anybody on FR could have told 'em that -- last year!

Here's a happy thought from Middle East expert Daniel Pipes:

Islamists constitute a small but significant minority of Muslims, perhaps 10 to 15 per cent of the population. Many of them are peaceable in apearance, but they all must be considered potential killers.

How does 400,000 to 800,000 -- in our country -- potential killers sound?

Ya think?

So when are they going to admit that John Muhammed (the sniper) and Hasan Akbar are also terrorists

[LauraJean]

''He said Hadayet acted alone and had no ties to any terrorist organization.''

Why do you think they believe he was working alone? I think a limo owner would be the perfect conduit to reciving and distributing information. You pick up one contact, and take the information left on the back seat.

this item is big news because it couldn't make ashcroft's double standard approach to terrorism more clear.

here is a story about someone who is apparently not a muslim, er, i mean terrorist:

terrorism is a real threat, but the fight against it is being undercut by such misuse of the term.
