Oh, Ernest, you are my hero! Jim Macomber also gave me a link to Steve Emerson's congression testimony. It's a little hard to read, due to formatting, but it's excellent...

Isn't that an old '02 map? I fear an update would show many more states involved and many, many more times the number of cells and operatives involved.

All I hear from DHS and the FBI is, "We're keeping an eye on them." BS, folks. We're on our own when TSHTF.

Good thing the borders are closed. Otherwise more of these types would be infiltrating.

I'm sorry to butt in, I know your comment was to Ernest, but please accept my apology.

Yes, the map is old. I know of no other map, nor any updated map, though, and wouldn't know where to look if I did...

Steve Emerson is, so far, the best information that the public has on US Sleeper Cells, to my knowledge.

Thanks, it is a bit more current than others I have seen in the past!

No apology necessary, dear lady. I have the same '02 map in my files; I'd just hoped there was something more current. There were some terror cell arrests here in Penna within the past year, and nothing is shown on the map for Penna.

Yes, you're spot on: Emerson is the best source so far.
