The Threat Matrix

The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

What's become of bin Laden since he gave us all the slip?
Full Story

Some think he is dead, others that he is hiding because he is scared of being killed.

Whatever the reason for the strange disappearance of Osama bin Laden, not seen alive since his last mocking video statement a year ago, he is no longer the face of the global "jihad" against the West.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi { TM 25,TM 27 }, the Jordanian responsible for some of the worst atrocities in Iraq, has become the hero of the hour on militant Islamist websites.

SAS kill 3 suicide bombers in Baghdad

Snip: The SAS killed three suicide bombers in Baghdad as part of an undercover, shoot-to-kill operation in Iraq, it can be revealed. The three terrorists were all killed by SAS snipers armed with specialist rifles. Each terrorist was wearing a suicide vest laden with commercial explosives. It is understood that they were intending to target cafes and restaurants frequented by members of the Iraqi security forces.

A 16-man unit of the SAS, acting on intelligence obtained by an Iraqi agent working for the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), shot dead the would-be bombers in a combined SAS and American operation in July this year.

His best friend (Castro) and backer is sick and the media is predicting that there is going to be a big shake up soon. I think this is part of the problem. There's nothing he can do to stop this loss of support.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for the responses. I promise to try to keep the snow up here Granny, and thanks to Cindy for the tips re: keeping the computer warm!

I can't wait for Thanksgiving - my hubby is off for the next week from his main job, so that'll keep me busier than usual... but it'll be nice to have him home. (o:

I don't think the kids get many snow days up here in Wisconsin. I don't think this town would close up unless there was a serious blizzard. I imagine if it was bad enough everyone would just hop on their snowmobiles! (o:

As for my kids - we homeschool - so they don't get snowdays, but occasionally I will let them out to play early if it's warm out. I'm hoping to get us all ice skates this year because I used to skate when I was younger, and I think the girls would enjoy it. That's one thing I'm excited about living back in the Mid-west for - ice skating without having to PAY! LOL Also, sledding will be fun for the kids this year. Snow didn't stick around too long in Denver.

OK well it's getting late and I've got to run. Talk to you all soon.

Take care,
LR

[Cindy]

Take care LibertyRocks and enjoy the days with your family.
Iceskating sounds like a lot of fun.

New OU Bombing Information: The search warrants and other documents were apparently unsealed by U.S. Magistrate Valerie Couch on Friday, Nov. 17. This is being reported by The Oklahoman and the AP. The documents reportedly confirm TATP found in the apartment. In regards to the amount it is not stated, except for a quote from a bomb tech that wasn't even involved in the investigation. The words of his suicide note are reported, as well as information from to apparently questioned individuals - roommate Cheema, and Triangle Frat Brother Lawrence Kincheloe.

According to an article from KRDO-TV Ch. 13 in Colorado Springs the FBI still maintains no known connection to terrorists, but it is unclear if this was re-stated recently or was a throw-back to previous statements.

The Middle East's real bane:
corruption

by Michael Rubin
The Daily Star (Beirut)
November 18, 2005
http://www.meforum.org/article/790

President George W. Bush has made democratization a pillar of his
administration's strategy. "It is the policy of the United States to seek
and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in
every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny," he
declared in his January 20, 2005, inaugural address.

Whether because of Bush or not, democracy has progressed in the
Greater Middle East. Afghans and Iraqis marched to the polls after
decades without the right to vote. Palestinians and Egyptians, too, have
held contested elections after years of stilted referendums and closed
campaigns. Following the assassination of former Lebanese Prime
Minister Rafik Hariri, the Lebanese banded together to advance
democracy and reform.

Progress is shaky, however, its permanence far from assured. While
both Western and Arab media juxtapose bombings with democratization,
the true threat to both political reform and stability in the Middle East is
not terrorism, but corruption; and across the region, the problem is
worsening.

Take the case of the Iraqi Kurds. Long championed as a model of
liberalization, they are becoming a regional embarrassment. Rather than
pursue democracy, the Iraqi Kurdish leadership is more consumed with
self-enrichment. Following Iraq's defeat in 1991, the Kurds rose in
rebellion against Saddam Hussein. The leader of the Kurdish Democratic
Party, Massoud Barzani, returned to Iraqi Kurdistan with little but
respect for his family name. Fourteen years later, his personal worth is
estimated at close to $2 billion. Corruption and nepotism are rife. No
foreign businessman can strike a deal in his region without entering into
partnership with Barzani or a favored relative. Human rights workers in
Irbil say they have met Kurds imprisoned for failing to pay kickbacks.
Across the region, the Barzani family conflates government, party, and
personal property. Local militias uphold not the rule of law, but rather
serve as Barzani's enforcers. The Kurdish Parliament, meanwhile, is
flaccid; its power no greater than that of its Syrian or Libyan
counterparts.

The cost of corruption goes beyond money. An embezzlement scandal
sparked the 1994-97 Kurdish civil war between Barzani and his rival,
Patriotic Union of Kurdistan leader Jalal Talabani, Iraq's current
president. Barzani is not alone. With the complicity of United Nations
officials and cynical politicians, Saddam Hussein siphoned off $1.8 billion
from the UN's oil-for-food program. While children died for lack of
medicine, he built palaces and his family members bought real estate in
Amman.

Corruption has done almost as much to hobble Iraq's reconstruction as
the insurgency. Former Defense Minister Hazem al-Shalaan embezzled
close to $500 million in six months, audacious even by Middle Eastern
standards. Such money could have been used to arm and protect Iraq's
army and fight jihadists. Shaalan's colleagues in the electricity and
transportation ministries also raked off millions.

Iraq is not unique. Visitors to Iran often hear students vent their
frustration with professors who sell grades, doctors who extort money
for treatment, and officials who use their government positions for
personal enrichment. Expediency Council Chairman Ali Akbar Hashemi
Rafsanjani has cornered the lucrative pistachio trade. Revolutionary
foundations have done the same in the oil and import-export markets.
Petrodollar wealth has not reached the population. In 1995, Iranian
courts convicted businessmen linked to the Foundation for the Disabled
and Oppressed for embezzling $400 million. Iranians, however, say the
decision to press charges was more about politics than justice. Far more
corruption goes unpunished. Senior Iranian officials live in luxury little
different from that of the monarch they overthrew.

Palestinian ministers have also used their positions more for
self-enrichment than development. The Palestinian Authority (PA) has
little to show for billions of dollars in foreign aid. Critics of Israel can
point to the bulldozed Gaza airport and complain about border closures,
but it was not the Israeli government that built palatial mansions for
Palestinian ministers or that wired PA President Yasser Arafat's wife
Suha $22 million annually. In 2003, a team of American auditors
estimated Arafat's net worth at $3 billion. At the time of his January
2001 assassination, Palestine Broadcasting Services director Hisham
Makki had $17 million in his bank account; his monthly salary was only
$1,500. In the autumn 2004 issue of Middle East Quarterly, former
Palestine International Bank director Issam Abu Issa detailed the
mechanism by which other Arafat aides pocketed millions of dollars.
Palestinian refugees, meanwhile, live in squalor.

The situation is little different in Cairo and Amman, where President
Hosni Mubarak and King Abdullah II build palaces rather than schools. In
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, residents pump sewage from tanks several days
per week. However, the money allocated for a more efficient sewer
system has disappeared.

According to Transparency International, Oman and Israel are tied as
the "cleanest" of Middle Eastern countries. However, they rank only 28th
overall. The African countries of Swaziland, Malawi and Madagascar rank
above Yemen, Libya and the PA. Troubled sub-Saharan Africa should not
be the model to which Arab countries aspire.

Terrorism is tragic. A car bomb in Baghdad, Beirut or Basra can
devastate dozens of lives. But corruption affects millions. Saddam
Hussein's embezzlement condemned many thousands of children to
death from preventable disease. The danger is not that the victims of
corruption turn to terrorism. Mali is one of the five poorest countries on
earth, and yet Freedom House ranks it as the most democratic country
in the Islamic world. Mali does not produce terrorists; Saudi Arabia does.

Rather, the danger is in disillusionment. Iraqi Kurds, stifled by the
corruption of their leaders, are supporting Islamist parties. While former
Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi describes himself as the great secularist
hope, his administration's corruption drove even liberal Iraqis to vote for
an Islamist alternative. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad became Iran's president
not because Iranians supported his hard-line views, but because of their
disgust with Rafsanjani, who, to most Iranians, is regarded as corruption
incarnate. The greatest political beneficiary of PA corruption has been
Hamas. Likewise, Turks swept Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's
Justice and Development Party to power not because they endorsed its
religious vision, but because of anger with the endemic corruption of the
mainstream parties.

When Islamists come to power, democracy takes a hit. So too do
liberalism, women's rights and tolerance. Washington may preach
democracy; Arab reformers may debate whether reform should be
gradual, rapid, top-down or bottom-up. But until Arab citizens hold their
leaders accountable, in the press, on the Internet, and on the street, the
democracy debate will be moot.

Institute, is editor of the Middle East Quarterly.

Nearly 50 Iraqis Killed in Suicide Attacks [interesting Zarqawi info]
Washington Post ^ | 11/20/05 | Naseer Nouri and Dlovan Brwari

Posted on 11/19/2005 6:06:58 PM PST by saquin

BAGHDAD, Nov. 19 -- Suicide bombers killed at least 49 people Saturday in attacks targeting a Shiite Muslim funeral in eastern Iraq and an outdoor market in Baghdad, while a disagreement among the country's faction leaders nearly ended a national reconciliation conference on its first day.


[...]

A U.S. and Iraqi raid on a suspected al Qaeda in Iraq safe house in Mosul sparked a three-hour firefight in which four insurgents and four policemen were killed and three guerrillas blew themselves up, said Gov. Duraid Kashmoulaof Nineveh province.

Iraqi and U.S. forces had suspected Abu Musab Zarqawi, leader of Iraq's most feared insurgent group, might be at the house, Kashmoula said. Zarqawi's whereabouts have been the topic of a stream of murky reports; U.S. military officials have said they believe Zarqawi has vowed not to be taken alive.

The U.S. military was examining the dead late Saturday, the governor said. U.S. military spokesmen in Baghdad said they had no information other than word of the firefight.

AL-ARIAN TRIAL UPDATE...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1525479/posts


"Al-Arian jurors switched for deliberations"
sptimes.com ^ | Published November 15, 2005 | By MEG LAUGHLIN

Posted on 11/19/2005 10:09:42 PM PST by F15Eagle

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TAMPA - As the Sami Al-Arian trial headed to the jury Monday, the judge made an abrupt change that could affect the outcome.

U.S. District Judge James S. Moody announced that a juror whom two other jurors had accused of being biased in favor of the government would not take part in deliberations. He was replaced by an alternate juror who complained about him in late August.

The two jurors who complained said the juror in question, who wore Hawaiian shirts, had made "pro-government comments" and appeared to have "already made up his mind" that Al-Arian was guilty.

Moody announced Monday that the "Hawaiian shirt" juror was now an alternate. The next alternate in line then joined the jury, which begins deliberations this morning.

Former federal prosecutor and criminal defense attorney Neal Sonnett, who is not involved in the case, said the juror change could affect the results: "It appears a juror with a possible bias has been replaced with a juror sensitive enough to report that possible bias. This could shift the course of deliberations."

Moody's concluding comments to jurors Monday were brief: "Parts of this trial have been more exciting than others. When I finish, you'll go to the jury room and begin your discussions." He then read the jurors instructions to follow during their deliberations.

The essence of what jurors will have to decide in the 51-count case: whether terrorism was supported by money that Al-Arian, Sameeh Hammoudeh, Ghassan Ballut and Hatem Fariz raised through the school and other organizations and sent to Israel's Occupied Territories for charitable purposes, sometimes linked to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Prosecutors say the money did. Defense attorneys say the money didn't.

"If you run with the pack, you're in," federal prosecutor Cherie Krigsman told jurors, referring to the defendants' link to the PIJ."

"General: Indonesians in on Thai insurgency"

Loudspeaker call to Islamize America
By Nonie Darwish
The Islamist movement in the United States has no
intention of expressing sensitivity to the majority
Judeo-Christian culture of America. Even 9/11 has not
slowed them down, but might even have given more fuel
to their cherished dream of seeing America and its
government Moslem.

The City Council of Hamtramck, Michigan, gave its
preliminary approval to the Bangladeshi al-Islah
mosque to carry the Arabic call to prayer five times a
day through a loudspeaker. The Moslem call for prayer,
in Arabic, says: “Allah is great. I confess that there
is no God but Allah. I confess that Mohamed is his
messenger. Call for prayer, call for prayer.” This is
repeated for two minutes.

Devout Moslems already know when it is time to pray
and in this day and age there are certainly other ways
to call people for prayers that conforms to noise
regulation and respects the wish of the general public
not to hear loudspeakers 5 times a day praising a God
that is different from theirs and in whose name the
terrorists of 9/11 committed their atrocity. How far
are we Arab/Moslem Americans going to keep pushing the
envelope to test America’s patience? To whose benefit
these loudspeakers are being installed? Could the
loudspeakers be another sign of an audacious,
in-your-face conquest of America to please those who
finance these mosques?

Americans are the most tolerant people in the world
and it seems that the more tolerant they become, the
more they are taken advantage of. How far will our
tolerant Judeo-Christian culture be pushed around? And
how many times will Christians give the other cheek to
prove they love those who despise them?

Arab/Moslem Americans should reciprocate the tolerance
and sensitivity to the rest of America. They should
not demand from America to tolerate unwelcome
loudspeakers even if the politicians in the city
council want to please the Arab population for their
vote. Mosques in the US should know better because in
most Moslem countries, Jewish synagogues and Christian
churches are not even permitted to be built, much less
promoted via public-address loudspeakers.

At a time when American youth are dying to stabilize
Iraq and bring democracy to a Moslem country, the last
thing I want to see as an Arab American is my fellow
Americans upset at us for forcing Koran read to them
through amplifiers.

Mosques all over the Middle East have used and abused
loudspeakers to spread not only the call for prayers,
but also Friday sermons. In many Arab capitals you can
often hear a prayer to destroy the infidels
(non-Moslems) and the Jews, the enemies of God, over
loudspeakers that are often used as tools of
incitement and indoctrination. People in congested and
noisy Arab cities such as Cairo often hear 3 or 4
mosque loudspeakers simultaneously since there could
be 4 or more mosques in one square mile. The dawn
prayer can come as early as 5 am and many Moslems in
the Middle East hate it, but are too afraid to say
anything about it.

Why is America importing fear, oppression and
insensitivity to the American general public? There is
a fine line between tolerance and self destruction.

"according to Muslim prophecy, the U.S. capitol will surrender to Islam."

Sometimes by the words some of the old farts speak in DC, I think they have surrendered already. By not attacking this problem head on and by molly coddling the islamics and lastly and most importantly by not securing the border they are surrendering our freedom and safety. The day will come [and I hope it doesn't] that the citizens will ask "Why did we allow them to lead us down this path?" We are already so overrun in many southwest areas.

A story was told to me yesterday from someone who owns ranch land at least 4-5 hours away from the border, but in a rural area. He said they were planning on building a home down there, but have changed their mind based on information from their neighbors which is that the illegals come through there on their way to ?? [who knows where] Some have been warned to leave them alone or there would be consequences. We are being invaded, some brave sheriffs and congressmen and a few media are reporting this but very few are listening!!

If we didn't have this illegal entry problem, many of our other problems would not be so severe including crime, debt, lack of medical care, cost of insurance etc. I could go on, but I've said it before.

[WestCoastGal]

Morning granny I can't get the video either. Hoping someone can capture some of it for us. BUT, here is something Jill has posted that is VERY troubling......

"In all of the time that I have been monitoring the Jihadi forums, I have never seen the chatter coming from all different directions , ALL pointing to the same conclusion...A MAJOR, and I MEAN A MAJOR TERRORIST STRIKE in our homeland. Sure there is always talk about the destruction of America....but this time the Jihadi's are pulling out their archives and reposting some of the most disturbing threats Al Qaeda has made"
