The reaction of the Democrats to this latest bit of bad news for them.As there are few details in this report, I am declining further comment.
Nothing to see, move along...
I'm sure Murtha will be sweating it, whether we put undies on any of their heads.
No mention of the Florida anthrax attack that preceded the DC attack.
There is, however, this thread, which is related.
So is AP saying that anti-Communist Cubans could be behind this threat? Are they really that much in similarity in the nature of their plots?
How many Mohammeds did they pick up this time?
I'll take five in the pool...
Sears Tower, thy sin is just being the tallest building in U.S.
The reaction of the Democrats to this latest bit of bad news for them.Holy crap and Calypso Louie, Batman!
Place your bets on 1. Religion 2. Ethnicity.
Could be the Lubavitch Ladies. There's always a chance.

"The residents said FBI agents spent several hours in the neighborhood showing photos of the suspects and seeking information. They said the men had lived in the area about a year.
The men slept in the warehouse, said Tashawn Rose, 29. "They would come out late at night and exercise. It seemed like a military boot camp that they were working on there. They would come out and stand guard."
She talked to one of the men about a month ago: "They seemed brainwashed. They said they had given their lives to Allah."
Ok, my pure speculation... prison trained radical Islamic transformed idiots. Just my guess, shoot me if you want? Fastest growing religion in our prisons, fueled on hate towards the white establishment according to one author on the subject.
They were black muslime prison converts to the religion of pieces, apparently.

Official: 7 Arrested In Connection With Terrorism Plot
FBI Conducts Terrorism-Related Investigation In Florida

LIBERTY CITY, Fla. -- Seven people were arrested Thursday in connection with the early stages of a plot to attack Chicago's Sears Tower and other buildings in the United States, a federal law enforcement official said.
The official told The Associated Press the alleged plotters were mainly Americans with no apparent ties to al-Qaida or other foreign terrorist organizations. He spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to pre-empt news conferences planned for Friday in Washington and Miami.
FBI agents investigating terrorism-related activities were conducting a number of raids Thursday, federal officials said.
Miami U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta said in a statement that it was an ongoing operation and that more details would be released Friday.
"There is no imminent threat to Miami or any other area because of these operations," said Richard Kolko, spokesman for FBI headquarters in Washington. He declined further comment.
Several streets were cordoned off during the search.
A Miami Police Department SWAT team assisted federal agents in the search. Armed agents could be seen in the area.
Several warrants were served at a housing complex, a reporter at affiliate station WTVJ said.
South Florida has been linked to several terrorism investigations in the past. Several of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers, including ringleader Mohamed Atta, lived and trained in the area.
Jose Padilla, a former resident once accused of plotting to detonate a radioactive bomb in the country, is charged in Miami with being part of a North American terror support cell to al-Qaida and other violent Islamic extremist organizations. He has been in federal custody since 2002 and is scheduled for trial in September.
Padilla was originally designated an "enemy combatant" and held for 3½ years without charge by the Bush administration shortly after his May 2002 arrest at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Several plots by Cuban-Americans against the government of Fidel Castro have also been based in Miami.
