Sure!
Last week it was, "The falcon will soon be traveling." Then it was "the falcon is in the air." Then it was, he would be in "secure locations in 48-60 hours." Said time having now passed.
About every 750-1000 posts I like to say this:
These terrorists, even if real, got nothing! Zip, Nada, Bukus.
I'd be surprised if they could mount a car bomb. Where are all these "sleeper agents?" Most of them are playing play station two and living it up, with no intention of blowing themselves up for these morons.
In 2001, they used a clever plan and some box-cutters to run airplanes into buildings. Now, we are to believe that in just over two years, they have acquired WMD? Get serious. (Hell -- as it turns out, even Saddam didn't have WMD, and he spent Billions on it -- Billions!!)
BTW -- what happened to those teams of terrorists roaming New Jersey with suitcase nukes? Did they forget their E-Z pass?
This page makes for a fun read, and Freepers sure are creative. But there are no sleeper agents with WMD getting ready to take out American cities, nor have I seen any credible threat to a US originating flight.
Let's remain vigilant for nuts, but our Friend EOM is at best a gutless wannabe, at worst a prankster.
Buy low, sell high, don't hold gold, and don't stock up on canned goods -- EOM and his buddies are still trying to graduate from box-cutters.

Iron Eagle - I can't help but think the same thing.
We keep hearing from "EOM" that we're all "going to die soon". This has been going on for weeks. I think it is TOTAL bunk.
My take is that "EOM" is some mentally disturbed kid playing around on the Internet, or someone trying to put out disinformation. I also don't think that a "real" terrorist could be giving so much of their "secret plan" away without the jihadi bosses doing one thing or another (use your imagination!) to get him to be quiet. (The "real" 9/11 terrorists did not broadcast on message boards as far as I know, and were by and large fairly discrete).
The fact that we are all getting sooo bent out of shape over a few JPGs that some kid could have put together in Photoshop in 10 minutes and posts from someone on a board that doesn't even require registration (ANYONE can post as "EOM" there - go check it out - you could as well), is indicative of how stressed out the various threats have made people.
Someone wrote earlier that GWB is not getting himself all concerned over 'net posts on message boards. (Can you imagine the Daily Threat Briefing meeting, with Cheney saying "Mr. President..we need to go to Red. EOM is posting again!" - ROFLMAO!) We would all be wise to follow his lead on that, IMHO.
Furthermore, the US Alert level has dropped to Yellow. IF there were some "tremendous" threat to the US, where "many" of us were going to die horribly, I don't think they would've dropped it. In fact, I'd expect it to be at RED.
I know I for one have COMPLETELY quit reading the CN&Y board where "EOM" posts, cuz I have gotten quite tired of hearing how I'm going to die "soon" for weeks now. (Yawn). It would probably be a good thing (and something I'm sure everyone would probably appreciate) for us to not bother to repost his tripe here, where normally calmer heads and more logical thoughts prevail.
So, I guess my request comes down to this..I think we should all try to refrain from posting EOM'isms here if at all possible. We all know where to go read the trash directly if we want to be..um, "entertained". Me..I place ZERO credibility in it, and it only upsets me to continue to see it everywhere I look. I mean..what have we done to VERIFY that this person is a "real" terrorist? Nothing as far as I know.

Have you read this article in full?
Le Monde said the imam had admitted that he was aware of his son's chemical experiments, the products of which were stored in Nivea face cream jars and 70cl flasks and later given to a local chemist, identified only as Mourad M, for safekeeping. Several relatives had helped buy 9-10kg of ingredients.
As little as one drop of the botulism toxin released into a building's ventilation system can be fatal. Ricin is one of the deadliest poisons to occur naturally, many times deadlier than cyanide and capable of being given in food and drink without affecting the taste.
The police are investigating whether the Lyon discovery is related to the British anti-terrorism police's seizure of ricin in a flat above a chemist's shop in north London in January last year.
At the time Scotland Yard said it might have been part of an untraced wider shipment. Tiny traces were found in a left-luggage locker at the Gare de Lyon in Paris in March.
Last week's arrests appear to confirm fears expressed by the French intelligence service DST in a hitherto secret note dated November 2002, which referred to an "organised attempt by al-Qaida-linked radical Islamists to manufacture or acquire chemical and biological weapons to be used in attacks".
It said the men involved were mainly "veterans of Afghanistan with chemical and biological expertise who have recently returned from fighting Russian forces in Chechnya".
It devoted an entire chapter to the possible role of the extended Benchellali family.
The arrests also reinforce evidence that several active al-Qaida cells are operating in Europe.

Why are you attacking Freepers about this? This is information that was put out by the Monmouth County Prosecutor's office. And you twist it to look like we made it up?
And yes, there are cells here. Sheik Rahman's follows are all still here. Or are you saying the Sheik preached to an empty Mosque?
Where are all the suspects that bombed the WTC in '93? Or are we making up that it was bombed?
Oh, the sheik did it alone? Blind?
Do you know what mosque he preached from? Jersey City.
Or am I being creative?

Exactly. Fraud extraordinaire.
Still, she and her three teenie-bopper accomplises need to be arrested for terroristic threats and violations of the patriot act, if not civil law. Enough is enough.
