Uh....turn on the TV and watch the news. It will be explained with pictures. Not all this information is old. That's a lie. It's old info combined with update, new info, because it was an ongoing cinspiracy to attack.
"Seems as if it would be next to useless at this point"
What do you mean by useless? The plan outlining the use of airplanes to divebomb US buildings was found on laptops seized in the Phillipines in 1995. The Clinton administration didn't follow it up. Therefore no new, relevant information was discovered until right before the attacks...and even THAT was unspecific.
If we don't step up security, whatever terrorists are here will carry out their attack...WITH extra security, they may not be able to pull it off. This isn't rocket science. Al Qaeda is patient. The Islamakazis still want to kill us.
I'm not sure any of us outside the inner circle really know enough to decide whether the stepped-up security is warranted now, but I sure hope it is, given the amount of our money it's sucking up. As Boortz said this morning, every time we go to orange alert, federal, state and local authorities spend millions and maybe tens of millions more per day. And much of this is essentially an unfunded mandate on localities.
"If we don't step up security, whatever terrorists are here will carry out their attack...WITH extra security, they may not be able to pull it off. This isn't rocket science. Al Qaeda is patient. The Islamakazis still want to kill us."
Yes they do, and if you truly think beefed-up security will stop them from hitting somewhere, sometime, then I've got this bridge... Extra security might stop tomorrow's attack, or the one planned for three months from now, or it might even mean the attack will take fewer lives, all of which is a good and desirable thing, but even countries with security like that in Israel can't stop terrorist attacks.
I thought that was Bojinka... am I wrong? Bojinka didn't involve buildings.
