Forget jail, Gitmo, or civilian court. Put these scum in a C-130, fly up to 15,000 feet, and make them take a walk.

Dude, what a waste of fuel.

But but but Michael Moore once said, ""There is no terrorist threat in this country. This is a lie. This is the biggest lie we've been told."

I wouldn't zero-in on that day, necessarily. A couple of days either side deserve caution.

A terror "expert" said last night that these types never have a Plan B. I wouldn't take that to the bank.

The survival of the West is truly at stake in this war.

Islam has been on the march since its demonic beginnings, and this is only its latest big push.

Yes Iowa went red, but not on this side. Very "blue" (eastern edge, right on I-80
)

I heard the explosions were to be over the water so there would be no way to determine what caused them.

The Vatican is there, the head of the historic Christian church.

Everybody knows that Constantinople is the head of the TRUE historic Church. Ever heard of the Hagia Sophia? (Just giving you a hard time ;-))

I do agree that Rome is very likely to be a prime target of the Islamofacists.

According to eyewitness testimony of 20 or so people, there was a streak in the sky (I remember seeing actual photos on TV) heading in the direction of the plane and then a huge explosion. I believe it was taken out by a SAM. Even Kerry referred to that flight as an act of terrorism when speaking to Larry king one night. The comments were posted here.

I hope I'm wrong but I wonder if the cell phones have anything to do with planes. 600 just that we know of.

Tin foil hat firmly on head...I'm thinking it's a multi-prong plan. Drudge just reported a traffic stop where the perps had 1000 cell phones. Another report has police finding a check for $1 million in a car involved in a fatal traffic accident (NJ I think).

They could blow up a bunch of planes followed by IMDs triggered by cell phone across the US. Likely to be other stuff we haven't thought of yet. The terror campaign might be intended to distract us from responding when Iran makes a move on Israel on or around the 22nd. < /tinfoil >

I'd be scoping out two other countries this very moment and check for more moving parts of this terrorist cell. One is France and one is Spain. Both are coastal countries with lots of flights to the U.S. The uncaptured remainder of the British cell could easily have jumped in a car and gone through the Chunnel to France to hop on a French plane leaving for the U.S. Spain is now under a Socialist gov't and therefore not to be trusted. How well are they policing their airports? I hope our U.S. intelligence is checking out France and Spain bigtime.

"ABSOLUTELY!

We are in a STATE OF EMERGENCY right now. Who knows how many other groups are at this moment planning to take out untold numbers of planes?

These monsters are, with very few exceptions, young Muslim men between the ages of 17 and 45. When are we going to wake up and defend ourselves???

Political correctness be damned! Our survival is at stake!"
