A U.S.-Based Al Qaeda 'Sleeper Cell' Was Poised to Launch a Post-Sept. 11 Attack on a Major Washington Target; Would-Be Terrorists Went Underground or Fled U.S.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- A U.S.-based cell of the Al Qaeda terror network nearly launched an attack on a major target in Washington, D.C. after September 11, Newsweek has learned. Intelligence sources say a Qaeda "sleeper cell" in the U.S. was poised to launch the attack -- perhaps against the Capitol Building. The sources believe that the FBI, in its sweep against visa violators and other illegals of Mideast backgrounds, picked up ...

Were any feelings hurt? If so, we should apologize and pay reparations.

[swampfox98]

you got it...Leahy wants terrorists and non-US citizens to have our rights.

I don't think you realize how right you are about that. American citizens' rights are on the back burner now, as more and more illegal immigrats will be taking up residence in this country during the remainder of the Bush term. It is not only the Democrats who put these aliens first -- the Republicans are right there giving our country away.

[Demidog]

Much of what has been foiled has been kept from the public.

B.S.

It would be in all the papers just like when the DEA siezes xxxx number of "street value" drugs.

They haven't prevented a thing and they certainly won't do it using "immigration charges."

[Demidog]

Who's Demicrap?

[Standing Wolf]

Thank you, John Ashcroft!

[lafayette76]

They haven't prevented a thing

The government has failed miserably. Their failures are so numerous and monumental, that it could easily be argued that they *allowed* all this stuff to happen. I can't believe anyone takes them seriously anymore. Perhaps this is where "World Government" is supposed to step in and save the day, you know, save us from all the world's nasty mean Osama terrorists. Oh United Nations, save me! save me!

Do the floor Nurses know you've escaped your cell?

Your "contribution" here on this issue I see has been entertaining already....You are here at this thread for one reason only -- to trash John Ashcroft and his policies that so far have succeeded in protecting us from another terrorist attack....Had your fun for the day? Good, now please avail yourself to the nearest nurse or intern and have them escort you back to your "room."

[anniegetyourgun]

I didn't realize I had mistakenly posted something to you. I thought I was talking to Clintonh8r. I'll not bother you again.

[lafayette76]

Thanks for what? Gross incompetence? What the heck has he done except get on TV and terrorize people with vague bogus "warnings"?

[lafayette76]

That's ok - no problem.

[davidosborne]

Ashcroft saves the just and the unjust. Ashcroft does right while being trashed. Thanks Ashcroft, it can't be easy.

Certainly Worth REPEATING..

God Bless John Ashcroft!

[Demidog]

I'm here telling it like it is. There is no real evidence that ashcroft has done anything productive except to jail people for no real reason other than their skin is the wrong color.

I notice that your only response ever is to call people names.

[davidosborne]

I see that you have been decieved by the lies from LEFT.. Show me just ONE sliver of evidence that John Ashcroft is racist... I take it you did not watch the weeklong senate confirmation hearings where this man was GRILLED, and CALLED a racist.. I recall one such appearance by a well known congresswoman who stated that John Ashcroft is a racist because "I know a racist when I see one"... Now there is some "evidence" that just makes me sick..

I will pray that your eyes will be opened to see the truth..

God Bless America!!

[muawiyah]

It's not BS demidog. The story is about the 60 guys down the street who hatted up for the nether regions rather than support their hard-core terrorist buddies.

I suspect they got wise to the idea they would have to die, and they didn't want to die.

Uh, you did know there was a large terrorist support cell in Northern Virginia didn't you?

Oh, you didn't! Well, any of these guys show up, maybe I will give them your name and address. I am sure they'd like to meet someone who thinks they don't exist.

You were booted off this site after 9/11 for blaming the attacks on America.

Jim let you back on, and you continue to trash.

The rags in jail, all 500-600 of them, are there because of visa violations, which is why they can continue to be held.

You and lafayette76 are contrarians. I recognize your scam because I've done it myself, in the past.

Now, however, you're just making a joke of yourself.

You don't know what mayhem has been prevented and, frankly, you'll probably never know.

You ought to thank Ashcroft for saving your sorry a**. Most on this site wouldn't bother.

[Demidog]

You are not being accurate in any way. Many of the "rags" as you racists call them, are American citizens and are in jail simply because they aren't white.

[Demidog]

Well, any of these guys show up, maybe I will give them your name and address.

Please do. My Berretta and I will have a nice conversation with them if they exist and show up here.

[F16Fighter]

You Sir/Madam are the one who has obsessed on the liberal-speak monicker "racist" repeatedly on another threadwhen referring to John Ashcroft OR anyone who believes concentrating on male Middle Eastern "types" suspects (like ALL 19 who blew up the WTCs) instead of female Irish old ladies is akin to a criminal act.

Perhaps to be "fair" we ought to concentrate on all 270,000,000 American citizens as terrorist suspects, eh?

[F16Fighter]

Oh??

Our race-baiting "friend" Demidog was booted off this site after 9/11 for blaming the attacks on America?

Figures -- I knew there had to be some mental instability there.

[Demidog]

What we should concentrate on is arresting those who have committed crimes and leave the racial profiling to Jesse Jackson and other race-baiters like him.
