Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

RE: "Bin Laden... draws support from much of the Islamic world, which resents the US not for what it is, but for what it does - supporting Israel almost uncritically, propping up corrupt regimes in the Arab world, garrisoning troops on the Saudi peninsula near Islam's most holy sites to safeguard access to cheap oil.

"America ought to do what's in America's interests, and those interests are not served by being dependent on oil in the Middle East and by giving an open hand to the Israelis," ... "If we're less open-handed to Israel over time we can cut down Bin Laden's ability to grow. Right now he has unlimited potential for growing."

I'm curious. Exactly with which of Scheuer's points above do you disagree? Scheuer might have gone over the top in some statements, but I believe that everything I've read concerning his read on UBL has been spot on. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

...recruitment for jihad is taking place in as many as 20 mosques in the Netherlands, and said they should be closed and their imams, or preachers, arrested and deported.

The lawmaker who made this "plan" is now having his life threatened by members of the religion of peace (or pieces as the case may be).

I would like to add your link to the next TM if that's ok with you.

Sure thing.

Wasn't that on the CAIR web site?

Actually, it's not on the CAIR site....but it should be.

The numbers were 47(th), 212 and f16.

Yes, that was it, thank you.

"If in a mosque there is recruitment for jihad it's not a house of prayer, it's a house of war. If it's not a house of prayer, it should be closed down," he said.

Excellent statement!

Thanks.

You guys can write me a recommendation for Graduate School to repay if you wish. ;-)

I'm going to be working on the TM index more in the near future, I just threw together a skeleton for it last night while bored. It should help get the threads better indexed in google, hopefully. I'm looking into a way to archive images/etc. as well.

Isn't it treason to countermand the Commander-in-Chief?

One would think so!

Powerline has a translation of the Ash-Sharq al-Awsat story from Thursday that claims Hadid is the brother of the former Jazeera Baghdad bureau chief.

Additionally, this Knight Ridder piece doesn't mention that Hadid is a former Saddam bodyguard.
