You know what I hate about that Drudge teaser and what some others are saying about it on other boards? Even if alot of the info is old, it does not detract from its relevance one iota since al qaeda preps years in advance for a variety of hits (some of which they go through with while others are deepsixed). The fact that some info is old is actually more telling and sober in the eyes of the intel community -- and us TMers. 911 was the result of years of planning and the next major hit will follow suit.
I know that it is the GWB bashers in the media and on the other boards that are dissing the threat as usual. Drudge seems to prefer kerry, I wonder why? His freewheeling stance on what was once traditional marriage?
What's really disturbing to me is that we can't even agree among ourselves on FR that the threat is real and (has the potential of being) imminent. We have people on every thread yelling "it that's true, then why haven't they struck yet?" - no matter what we post, whether it be suitcase nukes, terrorists crossing the Mexican border, raising the threat level, etc.
So if Freepers are chanting "there's nothing to worry about" - how do we expect the 90% of the country who has their heads in the sand to wake up?
It took years to plan 9-11. This surveillance data is either old or it's not, but either way it isn't irrelevant simply because of the date the info was aquired.
But it DOES prove that the "why haven't they struck yet?" mantra is rediculously false logic. They will strike when they are ready, and not before. It may be tomorrow, it may be years from now. But the fact they haven't struck yet doesn't mean they can't, or that they won't, or that they don't have every intention of doing so - and inflicting as many casualties as possible (in lives, money, infrastructure, commerce, psyche, morale, etc.).
