Subject: Report: Saddam undergoes intense investigations in jail

I noticed how out of the last week's of posts on that web site only three persons had posted and most were one person ranting. A good exercise of the 1st Amendment, no problem there, and it's good that our enemies are of that sort because they telegraph any potential threat considerably in advance to any possible action.

Obviously they aren't significant. If one simply quantifies and qualifies their posted threats, the logistics of their fulfilled intent would be greater than a total war by the former Soviet Union and Red China combined within the continental US. If they couldn't do it, I don't greatly fear some jack**s with a keyboard spewing their rant.

It might also be more significant to remember how sites like that might be tracked over the web worldwide. They aren't as readily apparant elsewhere as they are on our machines simply by the search engine mechanics. Likewise, we probably aren't viewing an equivalent cross-section of Arabic/Muslim perspective on the threat when we run our web based searches here.

I spoke with an former Iranian friend recently who commented that when he last visited Iran, he was shocked by how within a single family the political perspectives ranged the gamut of stances. Some conservative, some extreme radical socialist, some religious, some areligious. His impression was that the threat was from a very small percentage and those sympathetic with the cause, though not involved, combined with the enemy would be far less than 5% of the population and possibly less than 1-2%. And the actual involved enemies, not tooth to tail, but entire active parties to be numerable in less than 100,000, probably closer to 30-50,000. Of those, if the tooth to tail ration was 1:10 or greater, then the threat would be greatly diminished to simply fire team to squad sized cells with whatever they could muster to create hate and misery.

The US loses that many people every year in car accident fatalities.

Doesn't hurt to remain alert, since they band together and are obvious if they act in the US.

The greater threat IMHO, are the numbers of domestic enemies to the constitution who are socialists who simply blend into the society and continually challenge constitutional rights for all Americans.
