By Lisa Myers NBC NEWS WASHINGTON, March 6 — The FBI is conducting an intensive hunt for potential “sleeper cells” of Iraqi agents planted to strike in the event of war after two attachés at Iraq’s U.N. mission in New York were caught filming bridges and tunnels, U.S. officials told NBC News. At least 70 Iraqi nationals are under active surveillance, law enforcement officials said, and agents have spread out to interview thousands of Iraqi men in an attempt to track down hundreds who came to the United States after the 1991 Gulf War and disappeared.

5th floor was also the floor Samir Khalid's wife worked on, as well as THE floor gummit informant Gary Cagan reconnoitered for the Kingman faction.

"Right now the DU's are talking about how they can destroy Blair to get to Bush. They're heads are completely empty."

I don't think their heads are what's empty. It's their hearts and souls. Empty. Devoid of any valid honesty.

But they're not stupid per se--they're smart enough or crafty enough to maneuver liberals into high positions in our society. They're experts at manipulating public opinion, and at pulling the wool over the public's eyes.

To call them "stupid" or "empty-headed" puts everyone at a disadvantage: this is a sly and clever enemy we face on a day-to-day basis, and we should not underestimate the evil of which they are capable.

In truth, I think this has been, and continues to be, one of the Republican Party's greatest shortcomings: underestimating the enemy.

And enemy they are--as much (at least) as the AlQaeda. More subtle, perhaps, but in many ways at least as dangerous.

"Yep, if we visualize peace, the sleepers will become our friends and then go home. Ted and Tom and Joe would never lie to us... "

OMIGAWSH!!! You mean I was supposed to be visualizing PEACE? All this time I've been visualizing PEAS--fine, green, garden-fresh peas. No wonder it wasn't working!

Funny how that happens. It seems Iraq has quite a few "dual-purpose" humans.

Hilton: 9-11 Hijackers funded by the US Government

Stanley Hilton, Bob Dole's former senior advisor and Wolfowitz schoolmate appeared on the Alex Jones Show tonight. (03/11/03)

He discussed information that he was privy to, based on classified depositions of 9-11 witnesses.

Interviews with an American ex-wife of one of the 9-11 hijackers revealed that she met Mohammed Atta and his younger brother and that this group were double-agents operating in a series of cells that were aided and abetted by the US government.

She mentioned that these "cells" were not comprised of muslim fundamentalists, but "playboys" and that they also participated in the OKC bombing and the first WTC attack.

Hilton is representing 400 families suing Bush and others in the federal government for "causing, aiding and abetting 9/11". Listen (MP3) | Transcript

Hijackers lived closeby CIA

You remember Linda Millis. Her husband was John Millis who was second in command to Porter Goss (met with Atta's paymaster on 9/11 in Washington.) John Millis was strangely suicided in a motel in Virginia.

"I know that Georgia isn't considered a priority target like NYC or Washington D.C...."

God bless you for following up on this. You were right to keep sounding an alarm and if the GBI is on it, it'll be handled. Just HOW MANY major corporations have their headquarters located in Atlanta? How big a deal is the airport there? Seems like if you want to go anywhere in the world you have to catch a connection in Atlanta. Count on it, Atlanta is a major target. Although considering the number of armed folks who regularly carry a concealed firearm (remember the reciprocity with Florida and other states...all those tourists might be armed, too) there, I doubt it'll be a mall shooting or something similar.
