PERSONAL OPINION: The jihadis are evil and hateful.
They have no respect for life.
They are girly-men.
They do not know how to respect women and they do
not want to know how to respect women.
Very sad and pathetic.

Update

By Roger Harvey/Eyewitness News

Carmel, August 3 - A member of Congress claims authorities were led to a home in Carmel where hundreds of pounds of explosives were found and a terrorism plot was uncovered.

The link made between Carmel and terrorist activity surfaced during a campaign speech by Florida congresswoman Katherine Harris.

According to Tuesday's Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Congresswoman Harris told a crowd of supporters about a trip to the Midwest.

"The mayor of Carmel, Indiana recounted how a man of Middle Eastern heritage had been arrested. "Hundreds of pounds of explosives were found in his home. He had plans to blow up the area's entire power grid," said Harris.

The article goes on to say that when reporters tried to question her after the speech, Harris said, "I probably said too much."

Congresswoman Harris was back in Washington Tuesday for the
9/11 commission hearings. While her office would not make her available for an interview, Harris did publicly talk about terrorist concerns.

Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard declined an on-camera interview and instead told Eyewitness News by phone, "These incidents happen all over the country. We all need to be vigilant. For security purposes, I can't go into any details."

But Mayor Brainard did give more details to the Herald-Tribune. He told the newspaper a man was arrested and sent to the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay Cuba two years ago.

FBI agents in Indiana say no one is under arrest for terrorism in Carmel and that Harris doesn't know what she's talking about.

Sources: Al Qaeda may have made contact in U.S. recently

excerpt:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Intelligence found in Pakistan suggests that suspected al Qaeda operatives in that country contacted an individual or individuals in the United States in the past few months, according to two senior U.S. government sources.

These officials would not characterize that communication.

But the sources also said there is other information from Pakistan that has led to investigations in the United States to uncover whether there are any individuals or terrorist cells plotting an attack on U.S. soil.

In addition, two senior Pakistani intelligence sources told CNN that there is evidence at least six individuals in the United States were contacted by Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, an alleged al Qaeda operative who was recently taken into custody in Pakistan. U.S. officials have not confirmed that information.
