Threat Matrix: 2009

Critical Threats: Blank When None
Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

I know this has probably already been discussed but has any news come out on either the Indian man who checked in the panty bomber or the other discussed here..........

FBI also arrested a different Indian man while we were held in customs after a bomb sniffing dog detected a bomb in his carry on bag and he was searched after we landed. This was later confirmed while we were in customs when an FBI agent said to us “You are being moved to another area because this area is not safe. Read between the lines. Some of you saw what just happened.”(The arrest of the other Indian man). I am not sure why this hasn’t made it into any news story, but I stood about 15-20 feet away from the other Indian man when he was cuffed and arrested after his search.

What also didn’t make the news is that we were held on the plane for 20 minutes AFTER IT LANDED!. A bomb could have gone off then. This wasn’t too smart of security to not let us off the plane immediately.

I don’t want to fly anywhere at this point, but in some cases we have no choice. So just pray hard and do what my cousin does - drink :)

Thanks Oorang. Heard on the radio coming home that they towed the van away and are trying to locate the owner. It was on a side street right outside the NASDAQ building.

I see a lot of TM alumni back. It is a safe haven to come back to with a wealth of information.

Yesterday’s bathroom boy was described as a Nigerian petroleum engineer. But guess where he worked? That’s right, Yemen. ~ 10 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2416227/posts?page=10#10

Is there any doubt the second bomber on the following night heard the news and deactivated his bomb in the bathroom.
He was testing security procedures. After the 1st bomber was apprehended by passengers the 2nd sought to determine how long he would be left undisturbed in the restroom. ~ 7 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2416273/posts?page=7#7

And there was another pair [detained by authorities] I heard about yesterday [Orlando to Phoenix flight] that were talking loudly in a foreign language and watching a video on a laptop of some war movie.

Just think, Obama is about to release 90 Yemeni’s in GITMO back to Yemen! ~ 7 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2416237/posts?page=7#7

It is also being reported that the FBI is looking for a man who recorded the ENTIRE FLIGHT on video!! Per the Drudge Report! “Her daughter said that ahead of them was a man who videotaped the entire flight, including the attempted detonation. “He sat up and videotaped the entire thing, very calmly,” said Patricia. “We do know that the FBI is looking for him intensely. Since then, we’ve heard nothing about it.” “We heard what sounded like an electrical pop to me. Everybody looked above their seats, kind of like startled, panicked. Shortly thereafter, we heard the screams. We could not see what was going on. We were too far back. We heard shouting, and you could hear the mayhem happening.”

reported this morning on Fox & friends that he boarded the plane without a passport. A well dressed Indian man was with him at the airport and convenced them to let him board the flight without his passport. But yet Obama’s minions are claiming he acted alone and is not part of a larger plot. ~ 6 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2416281/posts?page=6#6

Comment:

State Department system designed to keep track of active U.S. visas twice failed

No, it’s failed countless times all the way back to Atta & Co. The State Dept. has no idea how many “students” are here on expired visas.

the first failure came on Nov. 19, 2009

No, dad reported him SIX MONTHS ago back in JUNE. Not only that, we knew about him and had him on some list TWO YEARS ago. Beware the cover up! ~ 7

Revenge of the ‘Shoe Bomber’
Wall Street Journal ^ | JULY 29, 2009 | DEBRA BURLINGAME
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2416237/posts

The terrorist sues to resume his jihad from prison. The Obama administration caves in.

“....On June 17, at the Administrative Maximum (ADX) penitentiary in Florence, Colo., one of those albatrosses, inmate number 24079-038, began his day with a whole new range of possibilities. Eight days earlier, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Denver filed notice in federal court that the Special Administrative Measures (SAMs) which applied to that prisoner­Richard C. Reid, a.k.a. the “Shoe Bomber” ­were being allowed to expire. SAMs are security directives, renewable yearly, issued by the attorney general when “there is a substantial risk that a prisoner’s communications, correspondence or contacts with persons could result in death or serious bodily injury” to others. ....”

Yemeni forces storm al-Qaida hide-out, arrest 1
Dec.30.09

SAN'A, Yemen — Yemeni security forces stormed an al-Qaida hide-out Wednesday in a principle militant stronghold in the country's west, setting off clashes, officials said, as a security chief vowed to fight the group's powerful local branch until it was eliminated.

A government statement said at least one suspected al-Qaida member was arrested during the fighting in Hudaydah province. The province, along Yemen's Red Sea coast, was home to most of the assailants in a bombing and shooting attack outside the U.S. Embassy in 2008 that killed 10 Yemeni guards and four civilians.

"The (Interior) Ministry will continue tracking down al-Qaida terrorists and will continue its strikes against the group until it is totally eliminated," said Deputy Interior Minister Brig. Gen. Saleh al-Zawari. He was speaking to senior military officials at a meeting in Mareb, one of three provinces where al-Qaida militants are believed to have taken shelter.

The group's growing presence in Yemen, an impoverished and lawless country on the edge of the Arabian Peninsula, has drawn attention with the attempted attack on a U.S. airliner on Friday. U.S. investigators say the Nigerian suspect in the attack told them that he received training and instructions from al-Qaida operatives in Yemen. Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula set up its Yemen base in January when operatives from Saudi Arabia and Yemen merged.

A security official who gave more details on Wednesday's raid said it resulted from a tip and targeted a home five miles (eight kilometers) north of the Bajil district. He said one suspected al-Qaida member was injured and several who fled were being pursued.

Muslim Guerilla Training in New York
December 30, 2009

The Christian Action Network has been provided with two tapes never before seen by the public. The first shows female Muslim recruits receiving paramilitary training at a 70-acre isolated compound in New York called “Islamberg.” The second shows members of the Muslims of the Americas organization declaring the U.S. a Muslim state and avowing that they will fight the enemies targeting American-Muslims and pledging allegiance to their Pakistan-based leader. To watch a highlight of the footage, click here.

Thanks, O.

After all today’s news, I’m already wondering what is a nice breakfast wine. Does red or white go with oatmeal and English muffins?

I’m afraid it might be a long weekend and I want to be “tolerant”. (actually, under stress, my choice is Oreos and ice cold milk.....just can’t beat it.)

I inquired about being pinged concerning Israel and Middle east events. Directed here and understand Mesta Machine and Cindy keep eyeball on Israel...looks like others as well.

Am still new on these threads, realize takes time for people to get to know about me. For this thread know my concerns for Israel and love for the Jewish people has been many years now.
But at no time has my concern been greater than since this administration took office. Not to mention the movements occuring on the world stage and the dangers we all see esculating.

If you wouldn’t mind please do pink me as developments change. I am seriously concerned, as are you.

Thank you ...caww
