Interesting. And what about the 4-6 ME terrorists in the quarry practicing rifle shooting around the start of this. Was that an URBAN MYTH???

It's not an urban myth, but it actually happened about a year ago...shortly after 911. These guys were practicing at a remote quarry in WA and caught the attention of locals who called the police.

Though they were all ultimately released after that incident, it led to a series of events which exposed the cell in Portland (after a year long stake out and investigation).

I wished I had saved the thread about a terrorist training camp found in rural Alabama, complete with what was described as a modern 300 yard firing range. I'll search for it.

Matter of fact, IIRC, complaints of constant shooting is what got the LE ball rolling on that case.

Actually, the Oregon al-Queda wannabes were spotted A YEAR AGO shooting in the quarry, and dressed in their Muslim garb. A local law enforcement officer spotted them, which led to the Feds putting them under observation. They were only arrested recently, after the Fed prosecutors got all their ducks in a row to charge them.
