I mean, we had a meeting attended by 3 U.S. congressmen here last month with LITTLE OR NO security at the door.

I was at a charity event last fall with Tom DeLay and almost every elected official in Ft Bend County. DeLay only had three Capital Hill cops with him, HOWEVER I could count 40+ concealed handgun holders in the crowd. Being that you too live in Texas security may be better than what you see.

As well they should be worried. They most likely have something to hide.

I don't think there's a single mosque anywhere in the U.S. that doesn't have at least one of these terrorist wannabe's in it.

"Kenwood Towne Centre."

I worked as a security guard across the street from there when construction began. Watched it go from a cornfield to a parking lot.

All the Muslims I have ever seen in America have that deer in the headlights look.

Sounds very ignorant to say, but yes, the women I see look souless, as if they are drugged.

It's not ignorant at all. I have thought many times that they look like zombies, blank stares and limited facial expressions.

Not Clancy's best work..

No, but light years beyond "Red Rabbit", which was downright boring. I didn't care much for "Rainbow Six" either, but I did like "The Bear and The Dragon", as it was a return to his military techno thriller genre, more like "Red October" or "Red Storm Rising" (my personal favorite, it would have made a great movie, at least before Ronald Reagan felled the Evil Empire)

"Which was why they put a state trooper 24/7 on I-75 outside the mosque north of Cincinnati. They were afraid of a drive-by bombing of some sort."

If we get attacked one more time here at home, there aren't enough troopers to stop millions of Americans declaring their own brand of Jihad.

I am just wondering why Mr. Ashcroft made this announcement. Isn't Tom Ridge our homeland security czar? I'd think something like this would fall under his jurisdiction.

The blind cleric was being held in Rochester at the Fed Prison for his responsibility for the WTC attacks in 1993. I believe he has since been moved.

MPLS may very well have the largest population of Somali's. I know they're everywhere, especially downtown parking ramps as well as the malls.

The Hmong community is about to add another 5k-8k in refugee's soon.

I remember when Warsame was arrested his wife was sitting there saying he was innocent. Then the guy admitted what and who he was. The wife, as well as the guy representing the Somali community both became pretty damn quiet.

... There is a huge mall across from the state house. Daughter says this was probably the target. Would make sense.

City Center Mall. That is my guess for the target. Nets to the State House. Close to the Federal Building. It has an underground parking facility (mentioned in the press conference IIRC).

I and my family frequent that area quite often. Anyone who doesn't think the WOT is taking place all around them is crazy.

I know some muslims. Most are good folk. Heck the majority of US Muslims voted for President Bush back in 2000.

As a voting bloc, they are for civil rights, against abortion and homosexual marriage.

The majority of them work hard. But, many of them are just punks. I too am concerned about the terrorist threat. It just seems that MN-nice assumes we won't get hit....

You won't find me disputing that notion, thats for sure.

"Heads up, everyone. It's going to happen at some mall somewhere in America this summer."

Well, we don't want it to happen. I think it can be prevented if the crazies knew for certain what the immediate consequences would be. And I'm not talking about what gummint would do, for that's almost predictable and in no way would it prevent another act of terrorism here -- or further attacks on a continuing basis.

The crazies are content with a tit for tat continuing battle of attrition in the mideast and in the other 14 nations the crazies are currently doing battle with. And governments there are willing to allow it.

Is that something our government is going to allow here? I hope not.

Is that something the general population here is going to allow? I don't think so.

Seems to me our government and the population should be getting their heads together on this before something happens. Wouldn't want the people butting heads with the government on what to do after an attack.

An ounce of prevention . . . .

No uniform
No trial
No Geneva convention

Man, Akron would have been the place
Chapel Hill Mall is 1/2 mile from weekend gun shows-great idea for a shootout there
Rolling Acres and Randall Park Malls have both had riots in them and have their own police stations inside
...similar elswhere

Brave, foolish, Bring-em-on

Ya, sure, you betcha (wink). We now have a war in St. Paul with communist Hmong burning down houses. America is turning into different countries, not a melting pot.

And as far as the number of Hmong refugees, it's very frustrating to know that nobody in gov't actually knows how many are coming.

Well if there were only to be on attack, I'd say an oil refinery was more likely. Of course there's nothing to say they won't go for more than one, so both are entirely possible.

"He also had a disaffected Japanese airline pilot ram a 747 into the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C."

The title was Debt Of Honor, I believe.
