from Fox:

Al Qaeda (search) still has a functioning leadership, over 18,000 potential terrorists in its global network and a swelling membership thanks to the war in Iraq.

So, if we're attacked this summer it's all Bush's fault...? NOT!

All true, but I'd still like to see it if I can :) BTW, FNC has it starting at 2 pm EST?

[mewzilla]

BTW, mug shots will also be shown at the presser. Can't hurt to put that info out there.

The press conference at 2:00 should be interesting; there will be mug shots of specific people they are looking for.

"Windsor, Ontario (right across a small river from Detroit) and N. Vancouver, British Columbia host the two largest FUNDELMENTALISTS Muslim communities outside of the Arab world."

Add to that the Dearborn community that is about a half hour from the Windsor community. Dearborn, MI has one of the highest concentration of middle eastern immigrants in the US (on the east side).

Beginning with Saturday's dedication of the new World War II Memorial in Washington, the summer presents a number of high-profile targets in the United States. They include the G-8 summit in Georgia next month that will attract top officials from some of America's closest allies, the Democratic National Convention in Boston in July and the Republican National Convention in August in New York.

FYI - the AQ guy just seized in Japan was tried in absentia for attacking the G7 summit in Lyon, France 1996.'

I don't hold much stock in mug photos. If our government knows about WHO it is, then why don't they know where, when and how? And if they have an idea of WHO it is, then why don't they raise the level.

I'm not sure, but some poster said earlier, in the US it sure doesn't have to be ME to pull off an attack. We don't know how many of our own have been recruited into service by "them."

Just wait and see, I guess. The Conference is at 2? I will be sure to watch it, that's for sure!!

Washington Post reports the following terror suspects are subjects of this warning:

Aafia Siddiqui

Adnan G. El Shukrijumah

http://www.fbi.gov/terrorinfo/adnan.htm

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/Primetime/iraq_terrorthreats030320.html

The FBI issued a "be on the lookout" alert for Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, asking all law enforcement personnel to notify the bureau immediately if he is located.

Sources described El Shukrijumah as an al Qaeda field commander who trained under alleged terror financier Ramzi Binalshibh. They told ABCNEWS that the 27-year-old lived for years in Florida, and was identified by captured al Qaeda attack planner Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. Binalshibh and Mohammed are both in U.S. custody in undisclosed locations.

Mohammed also said that El Shukrijumah had been sent to the United States to carry out an operation, probably via Canada, sources said. He also may be linked to a so-called dirty bomb plot in which American Jose Padilla has been accused, they said.

Pick up my gun an' get back to work
An' it keeps me driving me on,
Waiting on letters from home"

We thought the same thing in the first few hours that morning...amazing.

Well I only thought it for a few minutes, because my sister pointed several things out to me, and then after going on FR I realized she was right about it being a Mid East connection

I think the reason I thought China was because of them downing our plane .. and there was Chinagate

Speaking of Chinagate .. have you seen this one??

How Chinagate Led to 9/11

[Mo1]

Good catch

[Peach]

I did see that article about ChinaGate and thought it was fascinating.

The reason I thought it was China for a couple of hours is because my husband was poll managing that day and I was alone. I called my brother who was working from home that day and he hung up immediately and got his kids out of school. Same with my sister.

So no one set me straight until about 11'ish. I should have logged onto FR and I'd have understood immediately.

Amazing, for once they actually have specifics.

[JIM O]

I read their were 20,000 and now there are 18,000. I think that means there are 2,000 less and that as they recruit others we are killing them also. Sounds like they are losing.

value judgements aside, I am simply saying what will happen

[Clint Williams]

Sad, but true! It has become clear that half this country is wimpy selfish twits. Of course JFnK will get their vote!

It was with some sadness and horror I saw that a woman I know, a Navy widow, had a "Republicans for Kerry" sticker on her car.

[JFC]

I know that we have many good GOP in California, but if they must strike..... hit Hollywood first, however, they have probley all hit their private planes for their homes over seas.......... chickens.......
