Has anyone noticed that the terrorist cells are shown on the same map as published in USA Today election map of 2000?

[PokeyJoe]

yeah, that's really an interesting observation.

Hmmmmm . . .

Perhaps there is something in context with the full story? I'll go back and give it another read.

Yep, the two maps are superimposed. Revealing, no?

...and that most of them are located in the blue(Dem) areas.

RE: Superimposed map.

I think the origin of the electorate/terror cells map is as follows:

Several months ago there were some articles about cells. There were also separate articles about the election. I suggested it would be curious to see one superimposed over the other. [I did not have an upload site and was in the process of re-stocking a new computer, so I didn't have the imaging/graphics software available at the time.]

Someone else took my suggestion and within minutes produced the election/terror cells overlay.

I think that is where the map shown in post #5 originated.

This original overlay concept was derived on FR and not in any newspaper. If any newspaper/media has used it, they borrowed the idea from here. The overlay may now shows up frequently with regard to terror cell discussions. The map was originated for comparative curiosity.

FYI
