Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - September 2006

[nwctwx]

Five Years Later, We're Still Not Safe
-Full Story-

In the five years since terrorists flew hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans have accepted inconvenience, sacrificed personal liberties and paid billions of dollars for a security clampdown that touches virtually every aspect of their lives.

And we're still not safe.

A close examination of the federal government's homeland security effort shows that there have been major accomplishments since the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. But it also reveals how vulnerable the nation remains to catastrophe.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan -- A U.S. Air Force officer went missing while shopping in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek, the U.S. air base in this Central Asian nation said Tuesday.

Maj. Jill Metzger separated from a group of other service members while visiting the central department store in Bishkek on Monday afternoon and has not been seen since, the Manas air base press service said."

Thanks MamaDearest for that followup.

"Britain discovers secret army of well-trained jihadi terrorists

Wake up world, they're everywhere, including a city or town near all of us. They are better protected by PC behavior, liberals, activist organizations, the entertainment industry and the use of our own laws against us, than any of us will ever be.*

*Judging by the inaction (or "tolerance") of politicians world-wide.

"They are better protected by PC behavior, liberals, activist organizations, the entertainment industry and the use of our own laws against us, than any of us will ever be."

DITTO that.

You're welcome Cindy.

By the way, your opinion of Ahmadinejad IS SPOT ON!

The carrot and stick game he is playing with world leaders regarding the threat of economic sanctions appears to be an ego booster for him and his cohorts in the axis of evil world.

[MamaDearest]

You're welcome Cindy. Promised myself I will try to go back on the thread periodically and see if there are updates on posts made the prior week or so.....lots of loose ends and no ties in most news stories.

[Cindy]

"The carrot and stick game he is playing with world leaders..."

I agree.

[MamaDearest]

Excellent work tracking this story.

Oorang, you don't get nearly as much credit for what you bring to this thread as you deserve. Your research is superb, ALWAYS informative and you go the extra mile to get to the bottom of what you find, many times going places many of us would never dream of venturing.

Velveeta, you are the eyes and ears of the thread in so many ways. I don't know how many times I have stopped in my tracks to read and reread articles you bring to us.

Thank you both for your hard and diligent work here, particularly on this emergency transmitter story.

[Cindy]

BIG DITTO.

Post 9/11 vocabulary test

Snip: Take a post-9/11 pop quiz. It's never too late to start pulling your head from the sand...

Muslim Press: US doomed; will dominate Europe

Snip:

8) The really ironic thing is now that it is coming out of the mouth of the Islamist's that their goal is to take over Britain, and shape it as part of the Caliph, the British are still hitting the 'snooze' button -- and requesting some more sensitivity training for their police/intelligence officers, and wanting to change their national flag to avoid inflaming the Muslim masses.

9) Britain better start the deportations immediately, and the US needs to follow suit, or we will all live to regret it.

Kidnapped Sudanese newspaper editor beheaded

Snip: Mohammed Taha ran the al-Wifaq paper and was taken from his home on Tuesday night by an unknown group of armed men. Last year, he was put on trial for blasphemy after his pro-government paper reprinted an article questioning the parentage of the prophet Muhammad. The charges were later dropped but if convicted of blasphemy under Sharia law, he could have been put to death.

Has anyone heard anything about this hostage situation in Arizona?

Freeper thread is full of the usual....

Here's some news about this ongoing situation:

Authorities: Six armed people holed up at high school in northeastern Arizona
>>GANADO, Ariz. Arizona authorities say six armed people are holed up at a high school in northeastern Arizona.

It's not clear whether the six were holding students hostage at Ganado (guh-NAH'-doh) High School or whether the six armed people are students.

A police spokesman in nearby Window Rock says a male is believed to be armed with a gun and that five females have knives. Officials say the incident started in the mid-afternoon. The area around the school has been sealed off.<<

No students were taken hostage, nor was there a standoff with police, as some authorities had said early on, said Deborah McCarley, a spokeswoman for the FBI, which had an agent at Ganado High School after authorities received the report.
