From Drudge:
An Iraqi group has kidnapped three Japanese hostages, including one woman, and promised to burn them alive if Japan does not withdraw its forces from Iraq.

Prayers going out. Thanks for the update.

Threat info was from abroad - people oversees, embassies, military abroad to be alert. Clarke in contact with her frequently. Talked with Tennent several times a day about threats (foreign threats). She talked with Powell, Rummy, AG but still nothing domestic. But she wasn't there obviously in 2000. Customs agent at Canada border was lucky and got bad guy so wasn't Clarke shaking trees that got him. Customs agent got it right even while not on alert.

I think it's the nature of the conservative to be more professional and controlled.

[You Dirty Rats]

Iraqis threatening the Japanese with War Atrocities? Do they know who they are messing with?

BONZAI!!!!!!

[homemom]

Oh crap--milinnium threat--she's attributing the breakup of the plot to a customs agent, NOT clinton and his croneys!

No special alerts at that time????

THAT's going to kill the dems. Back to Price is Right????

[Colonel_Flagg]

I like she calls him Dick Clarke, not Mr. Clarke or something else more dignified

Well, it makes sense. He has a good beat and he's easy to dance all over.

[SuziQ]

I wish she would say that out loud!

LOL! Don't we ALL!

[jackbill]

I'm so glad that she brought this up. The Clinton admin. has been trying to take credit for this when, as Dr. Rice said, it was an alert customs agent. Period.

[Howlin]

A complete SMACKDOWN of the "shake the tree" theory in regards to the Washington "bomber!!"

[cajungirl]

Boxer! John Kerry says they are a legitimate voice {wonder if they got the fire permit}

[Mr. Silverback]

Just said Richard Clarke got a lucky break when the Millenium bombing plot was exposed. That's a direct hit!

[mombonn]

LOL - re millennium terror try - she just said clarke would call it a lucky break, she'd call it an alert border agent.

[NYC Republican]

It looks and sounds like a group of Shoney's regulars has wandered into a Hell's Angels road house

LOL!

[texasbluebell]

I'm afraid you're right, but it puts us at a disadvantage and the creeps know it.

[Mygirlsmom]

They aren't interested in asking a question - they want to throw out as many "facts" (bits and pieces of out of context information that gives the impression that the administration got specific info as to what was going to happen and sat on it)

Let's remember, people. Threats or no threats, who in world would have been able to predict that a grand attack against the U.S. would have been brought about by a few guys carrying BOX CUTTERS?

[Coop]

Repeat it often. Black Conservative Republican Women. (Add 5-10% to W's black vote total and the election is over)

Even if you lose 5-10% of us who are insulted by your constant obsession with someone's skin color?
