So in other words....zero [0] terrorist attacks from Al Qaeda terrorists in the United States since the Patriot Act was placed in force.

1. Here is your original statement:

   0 [zero] Terrorists attacks in the United States since September 11th, 2001.

   Now that you have been shown to be completely wrong, your statement is:

   So in other words....zero [0] terrorist attacks from Al Qaeda terrorists in the United States since the Patriot Act was placed in force.

   You don't even pretend to be intellectually honest, do you?

2. Richard Reid has Al Qaeda connections, a jury found in his trial, so even if we were to employ your sudden change in assertion, you are still completely wrong.

3. I could care less which splinter group does terrorism. To the shrapnel-filled or poisoned or shot victim, they don't care either.

But let us stay on the first point: Your intellectual dishonesty is breathtaking, but quite transparant.

Richard Reid did not carry out a terrorist attack in the United States or anywhere else [lighting your shoe on fire and catching a beatdown from a female flight attendant doesnt qualify as a terrorist attack in anyone's book]...his attempt was thwarted, therefore his was not a terrorist attack since the Patriot Act was signed into law...now who is feigning intellectual honesty?

There have been zero terrorist attacks in the United States since September 11th 2001. You're assuming the Anthrax attacks werent part of the 9/11 attacks. I [and a great many others] assume they were.

The two disgruntled black guys werent anything you could associate with the concept of terrorism that the Patriot Act was meant to thwart.
