If these people weren't on any terrorist watch list how did the FBI come up with photos of some of them so quickly?

[pawdoggie]

...because the anonymous tipster passed the photos on to the police.

[kattracks]

OK, do you know this to be a fact? And where did you get the information?

[ProudVet77]

One of thing that has occurred to me is that on Wednesday they mentioned the action would be in 4 days. 4 days would put it till this Sunday. And that is when the Pats are playing in the AFC championship game. Fortunately it is not in Boston, or the coincidence would be even more worrisome.

In yesterday's N.Y. Post;for one source.

[piasa]

Heard it on Fox as I recall

[Gunslingr3]

The prankster said, "Jump!" and the FBI said, "How high?"

[kattracks]

Thanks, I hadn't heard that.

[Cornpone]

But authorities later realized the chemical, "nuclear oxide," does not exist.

Authorities on what?...duh

[Pro-Bush]

I heard he threw a bag over a fence from the Mexican side bordering USA.

[Howlin]

This is getting kind of freaky.

[Imaverygooddriver]

Boston? Massachussets? Home of Ted Kennedy and Jacques Kerry? No way! Why would they bomb their cheerleading squad?

[nopardons]

Welcome.

[nopardons]

I have been talking about ILLEGAL Chinese aliens,here,for years,but NOBODY has ever cared. Now look what's happened;or not. LOL

"The law-enforcement community routinely receives these kinds of reports," said one Homeland Security official.

I don't doubt that. Question is, who agitated to make this routine report "special" enough to get the media's attention and why?

[Ticonderoga34]

This is getting kind of freaky.

Freaky indeed. First it was four people and now it's fourteen.

Also the authorities ask for public cooperation and then leak information to the press that cast doubt on the entire story. None of this makes any sense.

[nopardons]

GOP Governor.

But look WHERE 9/11 happened...N.Y.C. and D.C.! Terrorist know only the most well known of American cities.Supposedly Chicago, L.A., and Seattle were on their hit list too. Ever see any reference by al Qaeda to any small town?

[piasa]

Maybe Kerry and Kennedy just wanted to get some attention. Or to take attention from somehwere else.

Nah, it's not like Kerry's the type to dawdle around on balconies and overlooks trying to catch the camera's eye rather than accept the anonymity of being swallowed by the crowd, is he?

oxide can be used in nuclear fuel. Maybe the tipster meant something like this below?


Mixed oxide fuel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Mixed Oxide, or MOX fuel, is an alternate to lightly enriched uranium fuel in the light water reactors which predominate nuclear power generation. Mixed oxide fuel is a blend of plutonium-239 into natural or depleted uranium which behaves similarly (though not identically) to the enriched uranium feed for which most reactors were designed. Relicensing will need to precede the introduction of MOX fuel into existing reactors. Some concern has been expressed that used MOX cores will introduce new disposal challenges, though MOX is itself a means to dispose of surplus plutonium.

Plutonium is a natural or intended byproduct of nuclear power generation, and reprocessing operations, initially developed for the Manhattan project for recovery of weapon-grade plutonium can recover it for further use. The United States has abandoned the commercial recovery of plutonium in favor of direct disposal of spent nuclear fuel, but plutonium recovery and use as MOX fuel is being practiced or contemplated in Europe and Japan.

Notice Teddy has been quiet as a mouse since this news popped up ? If the truth be known Kennedy would be tried as a traitor.
