Well then, ...we'll just have to let them go, since George Bush obviously violated their civil rights.

Are all pilots armed now? If there is an unarmed pilot shouldn't we know what plane he/she is flying so we can stay home?

"Allen stressed that the plans seemed designed to kill passengers, not crash into a city on the ground. "We have no evidence there was targeting of cities," said Allen, "This was an effort to destroy multiple aircraft in flight — not against any territory of the United States."

This I don't believe. A terrorist wants to kill as many people as possible - just as they did on 9/11. There is NO WAY in this world you can convince me that terrorist ONLY WANTED TO KILL THE PEOPLE ON THE PLANE in the MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN. Come on!

Of course cities were targeted. They want the most death for their plans and blowing up in the middle of the ocean would not accomplish that.

I heard the judge this afternoon with Gibby, I am pretty sure I heard him say that they went to a judge to get the permit to wiretap

This is the sort of thing the New York Times attempted to stop happening.

It's pretty clear they're working for the enemy now.

Just watching FOX news right now ... news flash ... announcing that an undercover British agent infiltrated a UK terrorist group that foiled the plan. WHY oh WHY announce THIS? Now that agent will be useless. Guess the ratings will compensate for that. Geesh! How stupid. Some things should NOT be reported.

The Brits released the information. Earlier this morning his identity was probably not a mystery to the 20+ terrorists not yet arrested.
