Remember the FBI raid on the Arab owned and operated Internet hosting firm in Texas a few weeks back? Was there ever a followup to what that was all about? Secret warrants and stuff. Possible connections to terrorists, etc. I recall this every time people suggest that we were sitting around doing nothing. Perhaps we were working on it, but simply failed to succeed in preventing what we knew was coming. Most likely, multiple plans were in place. For all we know, several possible terrorist attacks were already prevented and this one just happened to slip through. There are so many arm chair generals running around. None of us have any idea how big the war really is and if Tuesday's attack was simply a "stray bomb" that happened to slip through.

I remember discussing this with another Freeper, and she said that she wondered if they went early, because of this raid. In other words, when the terrorists found out about the raid, they committed their terror earlier than had originally been planned, in order to keep the FBI from discovering what they were up to. This could be the reason that some of them were arrested today trying to fly other places. And, perhaps why they did not do as many acts of terror as they had planned

I have thought there was something related about this raid and the terrorist attacks, as soon as the towers were hit.

Two men were taken into custody off of a Carnival Cruise line this morning by the feds. This was in Miami. Fox didn't say if they were trying to do something to the ship or if they were just traveling, or if they were just wanted for questioning. Anyone else hear anything on this from other sources?
