"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm
This is a very good question any ideas?
Overwhelming numbers were for it, right?

"Hamas site takes up residence in Washington DC"
Lawyer says he gave phone taps to U.S. (US Chemical Attack)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1150661/posts
I've been getting hit in cyber attacks since spring 2001 though. That was before 9/11.
I'm not sure I'd count on that. Did y'all see this?

ROME -- An Italian prosecutor said Wednesday he had provided U.S. authorities with transcripts of phone calls between terror suspects, including one that reportedly refers to a woman ready to carry out a chemical attack in the United States.
The two terror suspects were arrested Tuesday in Milan and include Rabie Osman Ahmed, an Egyptian believed to be behind the March 11 train bombings in Madrid, said Milan prosecutor Maurizio Romanelli.
In one of the intercepted phone conversations, Osman Ahmed refers to a woman ready to carry out a chemical attack in America, the ANSA news agency reported.
When asked about the content of the transcripts, Romanelli pointed to news reports that mention the alleged chemical plot. He did not dispute the reports, but he said he would not comment further on the content of the wiretaps.
The wiretaps refer to "small groups ready to carry out suicide attacks," he said. In most cases, the likely location of the attacks was Iraq, he said. The prosecutor gave no further details.
Police arrested Osman Ahmed in Milan on Monday along with the man he was lodging with, a Palestinian identified as Yahia Payumi.
Authorities say Osman Ahmed is a key suspect in the Madrid attacks. The bombings killed 191 people and have been blamed on Islamic extremists with possible links to al-Qaida.
Italian officials suspect Osman Ahmed was planning further attacks, and they tipped off Belgian counterparts who arrested 15 people Wednesday in coordinated raids.
At least one of the 15 - mostly Palestinian, Jordanian, Moroccan and Egyptian - had previously been in contact with Osman Ahmed, Romanelli said.
The AGI news agency reported Wednesday that the suspects may have been planning an attack on the Paris subway system. Osman Ahmed was recorded asking one of those arrested in Belgium about the Paris Metro and security there, AGI said, citing police sources. Authorities were not immediately available to confirm the report.
Asked about a report in Milan daily Corriere della Sera that the suspects were planning an attack against a NATO base in Belgium, Romanelli said investigators had no information on specific targets.
Isabelle van Heers, spokeswoman for the federal prosecutor's office in Brussels, said Wednesday that authorities there had "no information which would suggest a target in Belgium."
Viviana Bossi, defense lawyer for the two suspects, said Wednesday that her clients are unclear of the exact charges against them. "They deny they are terrorists," she said.
Osman Ahmed was arrested on a Spanish warrant; officials there have said they would request his extradition on multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. Payumi was arrested on the charge of association for international terrorism, which was introduced in Italy after the Sept. 11 attacks.
The two, who are detained in a Milan prison, will face a preliminary hearing from a judge Thursday
YES they were for it:)
We certainly should be able to try him.
Going to check for that Kurd article in a bit. Thanks.
I just saw that. The good news is that we're busting up a lot of these cells. The scary thing is that we don't know how many more are operating under the radar that intelligence may not be picking up on.
That's interesting.
Thanks.
I just signed on to my main AOL account.
Two people were on my "buddy list"....and I NEVER put them there! How can people put themselves on my buddy list?????
One was MaIslam and the other was Goddess something. I freaked and deleted them right away.
I don't have AOL. One of the problems I did have was with Yahoo and hotmail. There are settings in those IMs to ensure outside traffic doesn't have access to file sharing.
I use to find people adding themselves to my Yahoo list too.
MANY MORE.
OPINION: FYI. If/when this happens again, REPORT IT.
I don't think so, those kinds of things have been going on at/near Al Qaim near the Syrian border for a while now.
well, as I posted a few days back, these sweeps and arrests are the logical thing that should happen before an attack - at some point you have to "pinch" whomever you have under surveillance if you think something might be up.
Let's see what happens - either we are one step ahead of them, or they are one step ahead of us.
It feels like such an invasion.
