its the domestic part that bothers me, we aven't heard of any domestic arrests other then the buffalo and portland cells. and there surely are more, alot more, inside this country. this, in my opinion, has been the weakest part of the war on terror, what we are doing domestically. the cooperation of the US muslim community in "outing" those amongst them has been next to zero. so long as these cells don't activate, they are hard to identify. they can just live their normal american lives, get their communications through various internet sources that are not traceable, and wait to be activated.

I suspect that the really dangerous, hardcore sleepers are among the most seemingly "Americanized" Muslims, not the recent immigrants.

They speak English fluently, have attended college here, have good jobs, belong to community organizations, etc

And in the last few days there have been at least two judicial (somebody on another thread called judges "black robed Nazgul") rulings in favor of detainees? I can't remember exact details, but the terrorist detainees need to have lawyers and various frills as though they were arrested US citizens who had committed regular crimes, rather than enemy combatants and terrorist planners.

Also someone mentioned a TV show - "The Practice", IIRC - that made out Gitmo to be practically a concentration camp, with evil US military torturing them. Great propaganda on TV to feed the minds of the TV watching sheeple.
