"I see no upside"

There is a possible up side.
If they do no know where these guys are and they want to slow them down, make them more paranoid, then make it public. It is possible that they have more information about there descriptions then is being released.

At least I hope so.

"Because it is hugh and vey series!

The Beaver's dad is Jewish?

[Ruddles]

Did you say CHINESE?

What's the font, Kenneth?

[leadpenny]

Phew! At first I thought the title read, " Boston terrier threat . . . "

[Mad Dawgg]

"If this was true, why would the FBI be telling us all this? There is a massive downside (public panic, etc) and I see no upside. Something is up."

Real simple. If this thing blows and we did not give a heads up there will be impeachment proceedings within hours of the blast.

The world has changed and we now must make our own choices when terrorists threaten us.

The extremists are trying to drag the Chinese into this? Funny how they just kidnapped four of them in Iraq..uhmmm could it be they are desperate? I don't think these guys want to mess with the Chinese. They won't follow the Geneva conventions for sure.

Sealing up the borders is irrelevant to this type of terrorism. Every single 911 terrorist entered this country legally. If you have the means to create a dirty bomb, you have access to the money for a plane ticket and a false set of identification. Why walk into this country when you can fly?

Phew! At first I thought the title read, " Boston terrier threat . . . "

So did I.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Two Iraqis and four Chinese.

Walk into a bar....

"Why walk into this country when you can fly?"

BECAUSE THEY CAN.

[Rutles4Ever]

Because it's kind of hard to get radioactive materials through customs.

[presidio9]

Yeah, they have also established that they can fly. Why walk? It simply presents too many problems. The first of which is a reliable guide

[presidio9]

So they ship it over in a container. They try and sneak it over the border and there is a chance they are going to get caught with radioactive material. Not good.

[presidio9]

Careful. He MAY be armed.

[Raycpa]

Boston is where the first planes left from on 911.

[presidio9]

Actually, the terrorists left from Maine and switched planes in Boston.

[Heldentat]

Entering legally also creates a law enforcement profile for them.
