You may not have noticed because most of the plots were foiled, but 2009 saw an unprecedented surge in terror "events" on U.S. soil. When analysts tally these events, they refer to anything from a disrupted plot to U.S. citizens traveling abroad to seek terror training or a lone gunman running amok in the U.S. And by the calculations of Rand Corporation expert Brian Jenkins, more terrorist threats were uncovered in the U.S. during 2009 than in any year since 2001.

I suspect it is the release of this kind of information that has hit its peak in 2009.

Released as proof of how our president is protecting his sheep perhaps?

This was on Drudge. The ‘guy’ is a poster child for the Democrat party. Let them reap what they sow.

Terrorism experts and Muslim community leaders caution that the spurt in such events doesn't necessarily add up to a trend. For one thing, the cases are unconnected.

I can think of a connection!

We can’t tell if 2009 is a peak until at least the end of 2010. Idiot journalists.

Time-Lies, why should I believe them now.

Besides, the world is supposed to love this nation now. We have a new president who has praised the muslims around the world at every opportunity he can.

They are all lone nuts who belong to the same bloody death cult and in some instances have even consulted with the same Imam.
