My biggest concern is if the Feds used that damn Patriot Act to find this guy, and if they violated his civil rights in any way. That's the most important thing right now. <\sarcasm>

ALERT...ISLAM ONLINE.net: "BIN LADEN AIDE URGES ATTACKS AGAINST WESTERNERS: TAPE" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "DUBAI, May 21 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - Al-Jazeera satellite channel aired an audiotape allegedly from Osama Bin Laden's deputy in the al-Qaeda network in which he called on Muslims to launch war against western targets. A voice said to be that of Ayman Al-Zawahiri said Muslims should force Westerners out of the "land of Islam" by attacking them and "emulating" the September 11 hijackings in the United States. "O Muslims, muster your resolve and hit the embassies of America, England, Australia and Norway, their interests, their companies and their employees ... Set the ground ablaze under their feet... Kick these criminals out of your homelands. The tape appeared to have been recorded during the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, as Zawahiri made no mention of the recent bomb attacks against western targets in Morocco and Saudi Arabia, bin Laden's birthplace. The voice in the tape said enemies will not be forced out by protests and conferences, but rather they only know the "language of bloodshed". "The crusaders and the Jews only understand the language of murder, bloodshed. They can only be persuaded through returning coffins, devastated interests, burning towers and collapsed economies," the voice intoned, referring to New York's World Trade Center towers which were razed by plane hijackers in September 11 attacks. Zawahiri lashed out at Arab countries he said were helping the U.S. invasion of Iraq, naming Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen and Jordan, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported.")

You and I probably had the same discomforting thoughts that the evil Ashcroft used the new laws to stop this brave America or visitor from exercising his constitution rights to kill innocent Americans. When will this evil Ashcroft and GW be stopped? (Sarcasm off!)

What do you make of: "
an alarming rise of terrorist 'chatter,' similar to chatter heard right before the Sept. 11 attacks."
Can't turn on TV news without hearing about "chatter." I can see how a spike in transmissions was, looking back, detected before 9/11. But two years later, Al Qaeda is having a conference call before every attack?

According to a top law-enforcement official, the Ohio truck driver is not the only al Qaeda member operating inside the U.S.
I love articles that print the "well, duh" lines.
Any details on what bridge he was going to blow up?

Glad they caught this ONE. Keep talking Khalid.
To: kattracks
I wonder how long he has been in custody... since I can't imagine he was captured today, interrogated today, and the story is already in the papers today.
To: BagCamAddict
"The unidentified driver told his interrogators that he was ordered by his al Qaeda bosses to obtain tools that could be used to loosen bolts on a suspension bridge. "

I read this quite some time ago. Maybe they captured him a while ago, and got some info out of him.
This is the first I read about driving a truck under passenger planes and blowing them up.
I think as they capture terrorists, they slowly get more and more info out of them.

Taking a more sophisticated tack, the organization is recruiting Canadians ... Hmmmm. I never trusted Neil Young. And what about Peter Jennings?

"Oh brother, further attacks are to come in the next 48 hours. All good Muslims in New York, Boston and other cities on the East Coast should leave."
I see the terrorists are taking a page our of our talking head bull vs bear "predictions" on cable news. Just make some outlandish statement and hope that it sticks.

Taking a more sophisticated tack, the organization is recruiting Canadians, women, African-Americans and Arabs with "clean passports" as spies and suicide bombers who would have a better chance of slipping through security. Oh, that's just great! Now, I'll probably end up like that black guy at the end of Night of the Living Dead--misunderstood and dead!
