Whew, my heart is at peace now that I know airport security is fervent in their quest to thwart terrorists. (/sarcasm)

The biggest conspiracy nuts on this forum are cultural conservatives.

Probably true. I don't know that they're likely to be strong Bush supporters though. More likely Buchananites.

Good for her! I was watching Fox News this morning and one of the anchors (male) was talking to a woman scientist who studied the sun about today's eclipse. He asked her something like did she think this would interest more women to get into the field, "after all, this would entail a lot of math...", Like women can't do math?!! He really irritated me, the way he said it.

Watch what Bloomberg DOES not what he says.

Yesterday's PR parade was downright QUIET.

There was NO gridlock.

NO drunken PRs in junkmobiles with 500 watt stereos blasting salsa.

Somehow Bloomberg managed to do something Giuliani failed to do, which is civilize the PR parade.

He covers his rump politically with PC words, but is actually making this place more livable.

I thought they found him smuggling plutonium in his gym shorts or somthing.

In the movies, they always show that insects grow to giant sizes if exposed to radiation? I wonder if ...

NEVER FORGET

...The Truthteller the Deomcrats fear the most in a new -Time of War- ...MONSOOR IJAZ... stated twice last week on the Judicial Watch Radio Shows which air on..

.. www.JudicialWatch.org ..

...that ..OSAMA bin LADEN's.. Al Qaeda in West Pakistan is stirring up the current confrontation between Pakistan and India to divert us away from their own push to gain control of Pakistan's Nuclear Storage Facilities and Nuclear Weapons.

...GOAL: To transfer Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons into Sea Cargo Containers and to load them onto Container Ships bound for the USA ...for detonation.

...MONSOOR IJAZ... will be testifying before the Senate's current Sept 11th Investigation Committee, while backed by his own paperwork of the time, that CLINTON said .."NO".. 3-Times (As in Bibilcal) to ..MONSOOR's.. 3 Offers to bring ..OSAMA bin LADEN.. to the USA from the Sudan for prosecution for his Terrorist activities against us during the 1990's. (Bombing of 2 U.S. Embassies in Africa, Bombing to the USS COLE, etc.)

...No wonder Democrat Party Leaders started personally attacking ..MONSOOR IJAZ.. last Thursday, after his Wednesday Judicial Watch Radio Show Guest Appearance ... just like they did ..KENNETH STARR.. when things got really -Hot- for CLINTON during his Impeachment...?

NEVER FORGET

When you consider the timing, it is almost a foregone conclusion that whoever this 'terrorist' is, he was paraded in front of the camera now to sell the new govt expansion. How anybody could miss this seems incredible to me.

Yeah and I could spin it the opposite way. Hey you caught this guy without the reorganization, so why go to all the effort and expense of expanding the government?

He was convicted of a gun charge in Florida in the early 90's and spent a year in state prison. They're also saying that he was "familiar" with DC.

Think about palestine, and how they teach their children to die for the Jihad. I would not put it past them to load a 5yo with explosives and put him/her on a plane.

Her father made that exact same comment to me.

Matter of degree and ability to prove direct military/paramilitary action specifically against the US, perhaps? Johnny was simply a foot soldier in Afghanistan. Jose was an in-our-country operative looking to nuke us.

1,000 Washington State residents were polled with the question ''Would you rather be bombed with a dirty bomb or a clean bomb''. The results are in and most feel whatever is good for the enviornment they are in favor of.

I hve been on the phone and have just finished reading through this thread. I thought I would address come comments here in one reply:

The arrested person was a Puerto Rican, not a Mexican. He is a US citizen, and his passport reads Jose Padilla, not the Arabic name.

I agree that looking at people like the Israelis do is a good idea. The Israelis do not do profiling in the way it is being discussed by most people on this forum.

My objection to screening by ethnicity is that IT WON'T WORK. I have repeatedly pointed out the cases of John Walker Lindh and Richard Reid, and now we have Jose Padilla. I imagine sooner or later we will have some arrests that are blonde, blue-eyed Sven types as well. These people have been recruiting in our country for a long time.

The connection with a gang member is especially disturbing. I think there is a real danger in that connection.

To those who think profiling would get 90% of the terrorists, I would remind you that the 10% can do a heck of a lot of damage. I want to catch them ALL.

One thing I have speculated on is the possible connection of Islamic terrorists and other terrorist and subversive groups, and the fact that they might be hooked up with the anarchists and the eco-freaks, who have become increasingly violent over the last six years. If the eco-freaks and gang members are in on this, we have a problem way bigger than just the Arabs.

Finally, the reason this was released today is because he was transferred from DOJ custody to DOD custody. If they hadn't announced it, the democrats would be all over it as a secret police movement, and howling about Pueerto Ricans being targeted, etc. etc. The idea that they would stage an arrest in this type of situation is absolutely a DU idea, and deserves no consideration.

The conspiracy nut in me wonders what's to keep Ridge & Company from staging something to justify their existence.

You'll never know for sure, unless you apply Reynolds Wrap to your cranium...
