Threat Matrix: November 2006

[nwctwx]

The Price of Victory
-Full Story-

The "bombshell" revelation from last April's National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), which was leaked to the New York Times in September, was that the war in Iraq had resulted in more terrorism, not less. As reported by United Press International's Claude Salhani, "Did we really need 16 intelligence agencies to tell us that? Ten minutes of watching the newscast of your choice, from Al-Jazeera to Fox News, would be enough to convince most observers." But the key question is why the war has provoked the global Jihad.

One answer has to be the influence in the Arab world of the America-
hating network Al-Jazeera. The AIM DVD on "Terror Television" shows film footage of captured terrorists saying they came to Iraq to kill Americans because of the words and images on Al-Jazeera.

Are Middle Eastern terrorists posing as Mexican immigrants?

Click to watch video

A warning from some Texas congressmen: Middle Eastern terrorists may be trying to pose as Mexican immigrants.

But is it a warning based on fact or politics?

Some people in Houston are worried about the message.

You couldn’t miss it during the election.

Texas politicians saying the border needed protection, not just to stop undocumented workers, but terrorists.

A month before the election, Mike McCaul, a congressman from a district northwest of Houston, released a report

(snip)

The FBI director has confirmed that there’s Middle Easterners with known al-Qaida connections assuming false Hispanic identities entering the United States illegally and disappearing," he said. (snip)

I was just watching Glen Beck. Excellent program tonight.

[SlowBoat407]

Thanks, Cindy. I recorded Beck, I'll be watching it later tonight.

[Velveeta]

Brigitte Gabriel did a fabulous job on the show, as usual.

[SlowBoat407]

Cant' wait to see it. I was actually recording it for her, since obviously she didn't get to watch and her hubby was away from the vcr at the time.

[Velveeta]

Here's the transcript to pass along to her as well, with my regards. :-)

Yes, my husband and I were glad the show aired.

Nothing there was really news to me (or TMers),
but the fact that the show got on the air and to
a CNN audience is a good thing.

Fly At Your Own Risk: Mishandled Threats On Planes

Airline Employees Are Concerned That Passenger Safety Is Not The First Concern

(snip)

Browne says she recently learned first-hand how some security threats are handled. On Oct. 5, she was working a flight from O'Hare International Airport to Spokane, Wash., when she learned that the airplane had been threatened with a bomb. A handwritten note had been found in one of the seat pockets.

The crew she says was told bomb-sniffing dogs cleared the aircraft before take-off. She later learned that wasn't true. Browne says it was the cleaning crew that searched for any threats.(snip)(More at link, much more)

Fultondale Homeowner Shoots Alleged Robber (AL)
NBC13 ^ | November 15, 2006 | Staff

Posted on 11/15/2006 9:14:14 PM PST by DaveLoneRanger

A 66-year-old Fultondale man said someone tried to rob him and an acquaintance at knifepoint, so he shot and killed the 49-year-old alleged robber at 1325 Seventh Ave.

It happened at 1325 7th Avenue, where, police said, the 49-year-old suspect threatened the homeowner and his friend.

Police said the homeowner had been robbed in the past, so when the thief ordered him to go to a closet in search of more money, the homeowner was able to grab a gun and shoot the suspect, James Greg Aldridge.

Authorities said Aldridge had a long criminal history.

No charges have been filed against the homeowner.

Just watched the show.

Like you, I was not surprised at what I saw, but I hope that some people who think CNN is credible will start to believe that there are people out there who want to do bad things to us.
