Seven charged over 'Chicago plot'
BBC ^ | June 23, 2006 | BBC

The US authorities have charged seven men with involvement in a plot to destroy the nation's tallest building, the Sears Tower in Chicago. The men were arrested at a warehouse in Miami, in an undercover operation.

The FBI says the suspects, believed to be Muslims, had pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda, but had no contacts with it.

The group, which was infiltrated by an agent posing as an al-Qaeda member, includes two foreigners - one of them a Haitian - and five US citizens.

"They were persons who for whatever reason came to view their home country as the enemy," US Attorney-General Alberto Gonzales told reporters.

The "Religion of Peace" strikes again. Time to realize that Traditional (not "Radical") Islam is a totalitarian political-religious ideology bent on nothing less than world conquest and subjugation by war, terror or other means. This is not a "War on Terror", but a war on Islamic Revolutionaries-Imperialists. It's time to put all Islamic organizations under intense scrutiny and make clear that certain aspects of Islam, like Jihad or Sharia Law are unacceptable in the US or any civilized country for that matter and those who want to practice Islam in its fullest must give up Citizenship and LEAVE the country.

US and any other country that wants to remain free must declare themselves, Jihad Free and Sharia Free zones and demand that THEIR laws are superior to those of Islam and whenever they come into conflict, the laws of civilized countries should prevail.

Losers often do view winners as the enemy. Nothing more than left wing rhetoric from vermin that should be exterminated.

Isn't that part of the Democrat party platform? I know that I've heard all of the Democrat spoksemen express that sentiment.

I'm wondering how many of these guys spent time in the penal system and met some nice, inspirational Imams paid for with our tax dollars.

I am surprised that the article did not describe them as "Florida youths" or some other lie.

They are being portrayed as homegrown terrorists by the MSM who is turning against it's own country only due to our actions against other muslim countries. The message is that Bush is only inflaming hate within our country and outside our country because of his foreign policy.

Don't be surprised when Kerry, Pelosi, Murtha, and the rest of the traitorous ilk in this country jump on this for their own anti-american, pro-power purposes.

And this Reason is a 5 letter word spelled "I-S-L-A-M" in traditional interpretation.

Have you seen the New York Slimes headlines? The hard copy headlines are

"Bank Data Is Sifted by U.S. in Secret to Block Terror"
Under a secret Bush administration program initiated weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, counterterrorism officials have gained access to financial records from a vast international database and examined banking transactions involving thousands of Americans and others in the United States, according to government and industry officials.

Scary isn't it...that the govt can now trace al quaeda funds flowing in and out of the country...what about the rights of terrorists?


Meanwhile.....
The terrorists in Miami are buried in page 9 or something...
