Critical Threats: Blank When None
Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

Thought

Janet & BO were so blaise about this, speculation from me: The key is the "Well dressed man" that accompanied Mutallab, was he mayhaps a LEO to either insure this terrorist was caught or (putting conspiracy hat on) so there is even MORE control from the "One World" groupies. I mean, look, the first thing done is more control. Everything this admin does involves us losing more liberties and our constitution thrown out the window. Bet I'm not the only one thinking this.

Looking for clarification: was it the supervisor or the “sharp-dressed man” who said that? I thought it was the man... though the main prob is the fact that Mutallab was able to get on at all, and we need to know how that happened.

Yup! The “practice runs” are increasing in frequency. They are trying to perfect a technique.

Thank God for their epic fail on Christmas Day!

Yeah, Mark Steyn was talking about that fiasco while he substituted for Rush, this morning.

The Obama cult don’t seem to be very interested in calling islamofascist terrorists; islamofascist terrorists!

The will be a day of recking and isn’t going to be pretty!

Obviously it would depend on WHICH passenger “somehow” missed the plane; any way to find out?

I searched for additional info and found none.

Al-Qaeda-linked movement militants attack citizens in Lahj (Yemen)
28/December/2009

Al-Qaeda-linked movement militants have attacked citizens and threatened shop owners not to open their shops in Habileen and Hotah in Lahj south Yemen, the state-run 26sep.net reported on Monday.

Those outlaw militants closed a number of trade centers and schools in Habileen. They also demonstrated around the city rising secessionism flags and chanting separation logos. They broke in the local administration building in Hotah and got the national flag down. The militants also have committed riot acts as burning tires, cut the main road and shot fire on security men.

Two soldiers were injured as they were trying to separate the demonstrators, in addition to two civilians. As they gathered again and started riots, security men separated them immediately and seized eighteen rioters.

Man Flew Into LaGuardia With Firecracker
Dec 28, 2009

A passenger who flew into LaGuardia Airport on Sunday night was questioned by FBI agents after allegedly boarding the flight with an explosive device in his possession, CBS 2 has learned.

Officials confirmed Monday that a crew member on board Piedmont Airlines flight 4126, originating from Baltimore Washington International Airport, was cleaning the plane after it landed in New York around 7:30 p.m. when he found a large firecracker-like device wedged between two seats.

Port Authority officials contacted FBI agents, and the passenger from that seat location, identified as 67-year-old Thomas Ouelette, of Bonita Springs, Fla., was tracked down and taken into custody.
