Hiram Torres, that was the name, thanks. Seems to be a different guy. But he's someone else they could use, if he's still alive.

Robert Mueller, FBI: "FBI and CIA worked to bring about the arrest."

Amazing.

[kcvl]

It was in the discussion stage. Substantial discusions.

[Arizflash]

What's that got to do with anything? We were discussing this one news flash about this one subject. They stopped one of these jerks from hurting Americans. Good day and good job. What's wrong you can't see that?

[twigs]

what's to keep Ridge & Company from staging something to justify their existence.

He doesn't need to. He's a patriot and he's on our side.

[aristeides]

The polls for the administration will go sky-high after this.

[kcvl]

Planning stage...he was on a recon mission.

Islam is NOT a religion! It is another "-ism" that needs to be treated as such. PCness be damned!!! Ship every mother-loving muslim out of the states NOW! Remember the WTC was attacked TWICE (93 and 02). Its just a matter of time before they attack again IF we let muslims stay in this country!!!!

Agreed! Every time I tell friends and family that every non-citizen muslim should be deported, I get this "religious" arugment. I tell them that Islam is NOT a religion. It is a POLITICAL SYSTEM intent on the destruction of our WAY OF LIFE--more dangerous than Communism during the Cold War.

That's what it sounds like to me.

I was just typing it without really hearing it.

Actually I would guess the opposite. The release of info today is likely intended as a reminder for everyone to stay vigilant.

These terrorists like symbolism, and perhaps in their dates. Tuesday is the 11th, 9 months after 9/11(9 months in a pregnancy, so perhaps a date to 'give birth' to the 'offspring' of the first attacks), a good date for a coordinated attack without communicating among themselves. Also a partial eclipse during a sunset either tonight or tomorrow visible here, more symbolism(crescent sun, their moon eclipsing our sun, etc.) Not saying that I expect an attack in the next 2 days, but if one is looking for patterns to predict their likely actions, these are good candidates.

I also wonder if info from this guys interrogation was behind the flurry of warnings last month.

"Good point. Let's fire Ashcroft and crew and put you in charge."

Been there and don't want to be incharge. I enjoy retirement life now. Though I do not trust everything that the Government says and does. Anyone who does this is a damn fool. However, the job the CIA and FBI did on this one should not go unoticed. However the release to me now seems to be a political decision.

[kcvl]

Can't tell anymore about the terrorist NO COMMENT. Wouldn't answer where it was to be used maybe in Washington but won't comment.

Just track a known Al Qaeda member until he shows up in a crowded place with a briefcase. Arrest him, and take it from there. Or, if that's not possible, pick any Middle Eastern man with a briefcase. Oh, but nothing remotely like that could ever happen in our great nation. Our leaders are much too trustworthy and honest to sacrifice the life of an innocent person (especially a foreigner).

You are a Libertarian arent you?

"Ashcroft, speaking from Russia, announces arrest of US citizen turned Islamic terrorist (Muslin name included) on plot to import and explode dirty radioactive bomb."

Don't let the facts get in the way of advancing your agenda at any cost.

Got it, Thanks :)

#3 guy to Osama was the big mouth who spilled his guts. Jose is a US citizen that is why they used him. Authorities don't know how close they came to using the dirty bomb according to Fox News.
