look, I'm not trying to poo-poo this stuff or you personally. but some things are a stretch. I can see why NJ would be a "hotspot", given the large numbers of muslims and proximity to NYC. I would like to know if any of the NJ people on this conference call have moved their families out, because if I heard something like that on a DHS conference call, I'd send my family and close friends to florida in about 10 minutes.
but to use this to slide onto a more pertinent question: why haven't their been more arrests inside the US of cells, cell members or sympathizers? We had the Lackawanna 6 and those people from Portland (?), and not much else. You would think that we would have gathered enough information by now to break down some of the domestic structure of this inside the US, but yet, there appears to be nothing, no arrests. why?

"look, I'm not trying to poo-poo this stuff or you personally."
Understood, and no problem.
As for moving a family out what kind of a message does that send? Where is "safe"? I'm in the same boat, all of us are in the same boat as American's..we have a job to do and day-to-day existence to muddle through as best we can. Deal with the problem by attacking it head-on and kick-ass as necessary along the way and hopefully make a better future for your kids and loved ones. Nobody leads or demonstrates Leadership (Capital "L") from the rear or by sending their families to who-knows-where. I am here to expedite as much as possible the Jihadist's desire to meet with Allah face-to-face. Period.
Arrests and trials of terrorists have been ongoing and are being conducted very quietly, and I mean 3dB below the noise.

"...why haven't their been more arrests inside the US of cells, cell members or sympathizers?The Feds are supposedly monitoring suspected al qaeda cells members and supporters." Perhaps those under surveillance have not yet placed their hands squarely inside the cookie jar...Look at the stupid and undeserved flak they are taking because of GitMo, Seattle, Lackawanna, Johnny Jihad, and that heavy female lawyer charged with helping terrorists in jail communicate with terrorists not in jail, etc. It really does not seem to matter who the threat is since so many unpatriotic Americans immediately side with the wrong side.
With both truth and sarcasm, I say this: You know how the libs will scream at AG John Ashcroft and GWB if the terrorists are caught before an evil act of terror is committed; basically the Feds would need to stop an act in progress to shut them up and stem the avalanche of evil U.S. lawyers already chomping at the bit to defend all terrorists.
