"Good Point. You also need to read the entire article to find that the questionable men were thoroughly checked out and cleared."
That means only that they weren't on any watch lists. The terrorists are smart enough to recruit fresh martyrs who haven't drawn attention to themselves.

TRUE !! That's their M.O. !! They are pouring into Iraq by the bus load and they will be coming here en masse. The extremist elements are SUICIDAL. They will have as many independently operating teams here as they can. Thank God (and GW and US MIl) for killing or disabling 75% of the original Al Quaida leadership personnel.
The problem remains: 1) spin off groups/splinter organizations; 2) "copy cat" teams and 3) disgruntled types coming at us in droves from the M.E. due to the Iraq war and other policies. Gotta keep our guard up!
