U.S. intelligence agencies have issued an internal alert that Islamic terrorists are planning another spectacular attack to rival those carried out on September 11.

The detailed warning was issued within the past two weeks in a classified report that said one target was a U.S. nuclear power plant or one of the Energy Department's nuclear facilities.

We're still at the Cotillion, wearing white gloves and being oh, so politically correct and mannerly--and all the while, the other guests plot a bloody end to the dance.

And very socialist.

Too true! I guess I'll have to hide out with Arwen in the Rivendell district!

I wish I had your optimism. The dismal performance of the security at San Francisco airport yesterday, however, suggests that yes, it is still possible to get past our meager, politically correct security measures. As one astute commentator on Fox mentioned yesterday, we must remember that in most cases, the same people who were working security at the airports yesterday are the same ones who were working security at the airports on September 10th, 2001. Chilling thought, isn't it?

"In San Francisco yesterday, security guards detected bomb residue on the shoes of a passenger seeking to pass through a security checkpoint. The man disappeared before he could be questioned."

So . . . The Ring has NOT been destroyed . .

Do you think that is the ONLY method of killing people? The next attack, should one occur, will likely not involve planes at all. Re-read your Sun Tzu.

Those who are able to adapt and change in accord with the enemy and achieve victory are called divine.

Therefore, of the five elements, none a constant victor, of the four seasons, none has constant position;

the sun has short and long spans, and the moon waxes and wanes.

Somebody's head should roll for that one.

That's why were Federalizing airport security screeners - so they can be held strictly accountable, and fired if they don't perform. < /sarcasm>

And whose head has rolled at the FBI/CIA/NSA/INS/DIA/et al over the failures that resulted in 9/11?

For 8 years, Sinkmaster spent his time assaulting women and covering crime. He had no time to defend the interests of this nation. We are paying for it.

He was afraid to do anything. He was a coward.

Since the President by now knows more of the story about US intelligence leading up to 9-11 than anyone else, and you and I know hardly any of it, and since I generally trust Dubya's judgment, I don't think I have a basis for jumping all over him about this.

Same here. I'd put my life in his hands before I'd put my life in the hands of a libertarian FReeper. Sorry guys. No offence.

I am probably the only Freeper that hated the SOUA. Not for the content or the delivery but for the fact I lived in fear of an attack. I simply could not enjoy it thinking, the president, first lady, the vp, and congress were all in that one big room. I wish I had not read Clancy's book Debt of Honor.

PS I think I will hate the superbowl, and the olympics for the same reason.

I know. I thought about all the people there. One good hit, and we'd be in shambles!
It was kinda scary.

Technically, I'm more of a paleo-conservative with some libertarian leanings.

While I generally trust Dubya's judgement, I don't trust that he has the capability of rooting out incompetance from the bureaucracy due to the vagaries of Federal hiring/firing laws. It's entirely possible there are those he and his lieutenants would like to fire, but can't.

For sure. Get a comfy goverment job, and you're there for life. Try to fire a school teacher on the goverment payroll!

>...the only quiet spot is the antarctic, how long will that last?

[laughs] Heck, man, wrap on the tin foil and get with the real world! Antarctic quiet? Hardly. Check it out:

#1 - posted 4/23/01) What is Happening at the South Pole?

#2 - posted 4/25/01) South Pole Update

From #1:

"So what's happening? Two thoughts immediately spring to mind:

"One is that some "Special Project" has, against all scientific and environmental prudence, indeed drilled through the ice into the Lake Vostok eco-system (clandestinely, of course). And, the participants have suddenly found themselves exposed to "something" for which their bodies literally have no immunity -- something not extant in the rest of Earth's biosphere for between 13,000 and several million years! After the initial reports of "four emergency extractions," the number changed to five ... and now twelve McMurdo personnel are supposedly in need of a dangerous, "emergency medical evacuation" well into the Antarctic winter season. At one level, this has all the earmarks of "something" virulently spreading among the limited winter population at the Base, something that even the fairly complete medical facilities at McMurdo can no longer cope with. Complicating the picture is the fact that the "extractees" are not research scientists or long-term support personnel, but are all employees of Raytheon Corporation -- a high-tech firm that is deeply involved in a variety of black-ops programs for the U.S. government all around the world.

This idea (that these two simultaneous "emergencies" are actually due to some kind of "black ops fiasco" in Antarctica) is reinforced by another little noticed story coming out of the Amundson-Scott Base -- that the doctor being brought in (to replace the ailing doctor) has been asked to also bring in "an emergency supply of salt." She's even been asked to "stuff her own pockets full of salt packets," ostensibly because there is "no room on the rescue aircraft itself." This is obviously a silly, thinly-veiled "cover story" ... designed to tell someone "outside" ... "something." Salt is crucial to survival in outdoor conditions in Antarctica. The air is so dry, that unless someone exposed to the outdoors there has a good supply of salt, they are likely to face the possibility of death by mineral depletion and dehydration. Obviously the Base, after years of operation, would have a pretty good handle on just how much salt is needed until the next re-supply plane arrives. So how is it that they suddenly find themselves desperately without any of it left?!

Maybe, because they suddenly had a unique situation. Maybe because a team of scientists and engineers from Raytheon spent a lot of unplanned days out on the windswept ice, frantically drilling against the clock, in an all-out effort to break through to the Lake below -- and in the process, used far more than the normal complement of salt to survive.

The other possibility for the sudden, simultaneous "evacuations" is even more extraordinary.

What if these Raytheon black ops personnel did indeed find "something" in their secret drilling under Vostok -- and needed to get it back to civilization ASAP for in-depth study. Under this scenario, the whole idea of an "outbreak" is simply a ruse to cover the need for a large airplane (a New Zealand C-130 Hercules) dramatically visiting McMurdo at a time never attempted in all its years before: the only "way out" for something very important from the Continent. How do you cover such an operation? Put all the medical hints out there, and wait for the Internet conspiracists to "figure out" that there has been some kind of outbreak at McMurdo (there has been NO official confirmation of this theory, by the way), all the while covering your real agenda -- which is to get your hands on a genuine artifact from "Zep-Tepi" before the dead of the Antarctic winter makes any such attempt this year impossible!"

Although the above two links actually purport to be true, to be reality, an Austrailian Tom Clancy-type writer recently set an adventure book down there, too, speculating about similar events. If anyone enjoys stories about special forces people battling each other (in this book, US special forces must fight against first French and then British special forces troops!), check out:

Nuclear plants targeted ( Islamic terrorists are planning another spectacular attack in the US )

I'd love to know if that small private plane that went into the Pacific just off the coast
near the nuclear plant just north of San Diego (and not far from Camp Pendleton)
was actually a scouting mission.
As I recall the people aboard were a brother and sister of Middle Eastern origin...
IIRC one died as a result of the crash/ditching.
This happened sometime in November or December, I think.
