I would like to believe this guy is cooperating with the FBI -- BUT, I'm not sure I would trust him at all.

Lying to an Arab is a game (apologies to the Arabs who don't lie). Arabs lie to show they can "get over" on someone. I would take this with "a grain of salt"...

Last week, the FBI put out an urgent alert for Adman El Shukrijumah, a 27-year-old Saudi student who had pilot training and attended college in south Florida.

They have been getting lots of reported sightings of this guy - there's another thread in Breaking News about it now...

We're in the beginning of a long period of "21st Century warfare" with Islamism. The sooner the politicians and media deal with this soberly and justly, the better.

I'm a little suprised that we haven't been hit since 9-11.

I may be all wet here, but as far as I know the logical step of calling in ALL visas from Middle Eastern countries, requiring the holders of those visas to come in for an interview and additional background check, was never taken.

Perhaps the way they are doing this--actually identifying people who represent credible threats based on actual intelligence--is better than my idea.

But all it would take is for ONE of these cells to get to its target, and you'll have another building on the ground, and scores of people dead.

Frightening thought.

"some of the names given by Mohammed were new." Must have a few people wondering. Nah, he would never give up that. Would he?

Isn't he still out of country, in the Middle East??? He is getting tortured, sloooowww torture....now doesn't that give you a warm feeling??? I makes me smile.

I can't find a news link for it, but I heard on a Bay Area radio station this evening that three "men" were arrested after "filming traffic for a college project" on the Bay Bridge last night. Apparently there are infrared cameras that detect movement even at night on the Bay Bridge and picked up these guys. No ethnicity mentioned...

Like we couldn't figure out that NYC was a prime target. Duh! Let's see, economic hub of the nation, most vulnerable because Manhattan is an island connected by bridges and tunnels, and boasts the largest concentration of Jews on the planet, except for Al-Queda's much beloved Israel.

The confession must have been jaw-dropping!

In an English accent: I'm stunned, I tell ya. And astonished!

Last week, the FBI put out an urgent alert for Adman El Shukrijumah, a 27-year-old Saudi student who had pilot training and attended college in south Florida.

Mohammed led the agents to Shukrijumah, who is considered a potential field conductor on the level of Mohamed Atta, the ringleader of the Sept. 11 hijack team.

Shukrijumah hasn't been located, but he is believed to be associated with José Padilla, the American al Qaeda operative being held as an "enemy combatant" after he was arrested in the United States scouting for a dirty-bomb attack, officials said.

I know someone who believes she saw the spitting image of this guy north of Tampa on Monday morning. Sent in a tip to the FBI on it, hopefully it won't get buried. If it's him, he was with 3 other men at a restaurant on I-75.

"The open-ended terror plans were said to be proposed by al Qaeda's field operatives and then given final blessing - and money to carry them out - by Osama bin Laden."

Speak of the devil, wasn't Osama going to release his latest message after the US started launching missiles on Iraq?
