I hate to say it, but this whole things sounds like a bad season of "24" (if there was such a thing).

We need Jack Bauer now more than ever!! :)

The plane were going to be blown up over cities and operatives in the U.S. were assigned to tape the explosions and "rain" for propaganda videos.

Can this source be made available?

[sarasota]

I'm only repeating what I heard last night from a "travel expert". I hope he's wrong.

[G Larry]

I wanna know where the rest of those "Egyptian students" are that landed in New York and then disappeared.

Just cuz they were headed for a Montana University doesn't mean that I believe they are all FFoE members....

"Yesterday. One of the terror suspects arrested in London is a pregnant woman"

Pregnant woman arrested by terror police in her pyjamas
13:21pm 11th August 2006

The youngest of the terror suspects arrested in the raids was a heavily pregnant woman from Hackney, London.

The Asian woman was taken by police handcuffed and still wearing pyjamas from a top floor flat in Denver Road.

It has been reported today that the woman, who has not yet been named, is the wife of Muslim convert Oliver Savant. Eye witnesses described her as five foot tall with braided hair.

One witness said: "I heard a man shout and then the door was knocked through. I looked out of the window and saw a team of armed officers - wearing helmets and goggles - pour out of a black unmarked Mercedes people carrier.

"There were another two vans full of police wearing bullet-proof vests. And there were two guys who looked like intelligence agents who were controlling things."

In another raid, a young woman and her six month-old baby was taken into custoday.

It is believed that terrorists were planning to use liquid explosives to blow up the aeroplanes and as a result, airport security checks are forcing mothers to taste their bottles of baby milk before boarding.

I specifically heard the news say that officials said the baby bottles and medicine bottles would be examined before going into cargo.

"the loony left, some of them are undoubtedly on some of the intended planes."

Skimming, at first I thought I read: the loony left, some of them are undoubtedly in on some of the intended plans. Works both ways.

[thelastvirgil]

AMEN, and leave our wives, mothers, and grandmothers the Hell alone. It is time to drop all this PC crapola, and put the bead where it belongs. If we can ban liquids and gels from domestic flights, we can ban the muzzies. The ACLU and CAIR be damned.

Pigs are unclean to both møøselimbs and Jews. Dogs are unclean only to møøslimbs...

Thanks Nully.
I didn't know that.

Slobbery dogs it is then.

:-)

[Lucky9teen]

Now that we're on the road to banning all carry-ons, why can't the terrorists do a remote to cargo in the belly of the plane?

Detonate with their cell phone? Sounds plausible to me.

[Mo1]

The answer was that they were all soul searching for the root cause of why these young men are so unhappy to do something like this.

Ummmm .. it's because they want to rule the world and will kill you to achieve that goal maybe

Why these people can't understand that is beyond me

"Turks recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders on 23 August, 1244"

Check my math on this but if it is 2006 AD and the Turks recaptured Jerusalem in 1244 AD that was 762 years ago.

Now if it is currently 1427 according to the Islamic calendar that would make the recapture of Jerusalem in the year 665. But does the 22nd at midnight make it the year 666 in Islam?

Interesting? Constantinople fell in 1453 AD. Islam 1453 is 26 years from now...exactly 2032...give or take. That's 2000 years since Daniel prophesized the cutting off of the Messiah (Christ) [69*7*(360/365) from 444-445 BC = 32-33 AD].

Let's not forget that it was the St Sophronious, Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, that met Khalifah Omar on the battlefield outside Jerusalem in 639 AD. Khalifah Omar told St Sophronious that he would build a memorial to Muhammad on the temple mount. St Sophronious told Khalifah Omar that "Truly, this is the Abomination of Desolation as spoken of by Daniel the prophet, and it now stands in the holy place."

[World'sGoneInsane]

I've been lurkin over there and I gotta tell ya, I don't know whether to laugh or cry..

I know exactly what you mean. It's fantasyland over there. I checked it out yesterday. You don't know if they are stupid or nuts. Half of them didn't believe the terrorist plot was real. It was..."oh that was just made up." "The government just made that up to scare the sheep." What????

Other comments from DU:
"Elwood P Dowd ...Fri Aug-11-06 02:40 PM
90 days of terror

and then after the November elections everything is back to normal - tax breaks for the rich, destroying Social Security, gutting social services, eliminating freedoms, slashing veteran's benefits, obscene oil profits, bashing gays,
death and destruction in Iraq, more outsourcing/free trade agreements, eliminating the middle class, and the rest of the republican agenda."

Tinfoil hats anyone????

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

And will they remain stabile with the extensive "handling" baggage encounters?

My guess is, no. The chemicals detonate using the oxygen and acetone vapors from the mixture. Both high concentration h2o2 and acetone are volatile and expand rapidly when shaken (h2o2) and heated (acetone).

If they were premixed, they would most likely burst seals and leak everywhere; no go boom.

[sheik yerbouty]

Now that's real interesting!

"Rove is unleashing his dastardly plan" to take attention away from Lamont's win in CT..

At least that's the thinking over at the DU..that this "plot" is nothing more than diverting attention..man, and to think, those people can vote too..:(

DU is fun reading. I don't know if they even realize what they are actually saying. On one hand they claim that Bush is a chimp, and a total idiot without the ability to think, and on the other hand, that Bush is an evil mastermind who literally control's the world and can make world events occur for his political good. They truly believe that somehow Bush orchestrated the Muslim men and got them to make it look like they were going to commit terrorist attacks. They find it an impossibility that Muslim men from around the world would kill innocent people, yet they do strongly believe that Bush pulled off 9/11 and killed innocent people. They believe that the only reason Bush went into Iraq was to kill innocent people.

These DUmmies lack the ability to think logically. When asked which of the following statements is more likely, they would answer "B".

A. There are extreme Muslim men and women who will do everything in their ability to attack Israel and the West, until every person is dead, or until every person has converted to Islam.

OR

B. Bush is a madman, who wants people to think that there are mean Muslims. He orchestrates terrorist attacks, such as 9/11, and then blames the Muslims for these attacks. Bush's motivation for killing innocent, is that he finds it entertaining to watch brown colored people die. Oh, and Bush is obviously a racist.

The democrats, at least the DU brand of democrats are a real threat to society. If they were ever in charge, they would allow Israel and the West to be destroyed. They would probably go around trying to kill Republicans, thinking that they are the ones truly causing the terrorist attacks, rather than the Muslims. Once they had killed all the Republican leadership, they would realize that there really are evil Muslims out killing the innocent. They would ask them, why, what did "we" do wrong? And eventually all of the DU branded Dem's would convert to Islam.

Wow! When you repeat what you hear on DU, it's actually more sad than humorous, that these thoughts prevail in the Dem's mind. I'm not a huge supporter of welfare programs. However, I would have no problem with my tax money going toward better mental health services. The dems apparently really need the help.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

uhhhhh, Perc doesn't burn, too much chlorine.

[Frwy]

The only safe place for these Muslims is in the streets of the good ole' US of A. There they can hide out in the open and be protected by policies like non-profiling, PC practices where we first guarantee not to hurt any of their feelings. The only ones that are not protected are the citizens of the nation because it can't work both ways. At least not above all else. Will we ever wake up and will it be in time? Terror comes in all kinds of packages. Even, supposed "friendlies" in the pretty white building with the big dome in Washington, DC.

Last night I heard on the news that the London police have much more authority than the police here. It's way past time that be rectified.

That's just a few of my beefs.

[browardchad]

Thanks for posting that; never saw the original.

Have you seen any updates on that case, RC?
