What about that "bottle rocket" that crossed a plane recently out of LAX?

No Major al-Qaida Ability Seen in U.S.

So I guess the Democrats are right to say it's time to bring all the troops home.

IIRC, our intelligence community didn't see the end of the Soviet Union
until chunks of The Berlin Wall were hitting them on the head.
So, I don't expect them to be perfect at detecting a group that
thrives on secrecy and leaderless cells.
And has demonstated a resiliency to keep coming back at targets
no matter how long it takes...e.g., the World Trade Center.

U.S. counterterrorism agencies have not detected a significant al- Qaida operational capability in the United States since the 2003

Ok, but what about those little operations? You know, like those pesky homicide bombers and car bombs. And how about that fanatic cleric they arrested last week because he was preaching jihad? Oh, but I don't suppose anyone's going to admit to all that funny stuff going on in OKC and the dozen or so airplane incidents like the "band" and the threat written on the bathroom wall a couple days ago. But thanks anyway for letting us know we can all sleep safe tonight.

According to the "experts" of their time Battleship Row at Pearl Harbor could not be attacked with torpedos.

Several hundred people would beg to differ if they could.

The FBI is lying and I would bet that if the second airplane that hit the World Trade Center had not been on television,the authorties would have blamed the incident on pilot error.

That's good news. Now let's go after those Earth Liberation Front nut jobs and render them to some third world countries.

...Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said in a speech Thursday that there is no alternative to constant pressure in the anti-terror effort. "We are continuing, every day, to evaluate and employ existing laws and tools that can help us in this fight," Gonzales told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York as he pressed for renewal of the Patriot Act...


"Borders erased on schedule masters.

We'll use the Patriot Act to control the dissidents who don't want to pay for the Guatemalatization of the Continent." He told the puppetmasters who rule his transnationalist world.

"Good thing they won't get to vote on it." He chuckled.

"Since the Iyman Faris case and other investigations, the FBI and other agencies are just not detecting an operational capability by the al-Qaida organization in the United States of imminent significance,"

Of course they also did not detect any "operational capability by the al-Qaida organization in the United States of imminent significance" in late 1990 and into September of '91 either.

Then there is the report of three Middle Eastern appearing, men with a SAM or RPG launcher near Tinker AFB on July 14th. They also had a video camera and were apparently tracking a B-1 at low altitude near Tinker (Tinker is the Depot for B-1s) They were near the lake just south of the base Michelle Malkin reports that the Air Force Issued a Battle Staff Directive (#41) on the incident.

Even if it is true [no serious ability], one ought to reckon that it is either not true at all, or may be true only temporarily, and not let one's guard down.

Until the feds get undercover agents into the mosques (popping up everywhere) this country is not safe...in fact it's the furthest thing from safe.

BTW- "rendition" helps...keep doimg it.

Doubt is a luxury we can’t afford anymore. So we must always be on guard.
