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 Iraqs 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.

Crossing one of the major Bay area bridges the other night, my wife and I were a little rattled as all of the toll takers were swarthy- looking men with towels on their heads.

CAIR would like to remind you that Islam does not condone terrorism. CAIR can have a collective heart attack.

Would you mind defining what Iraqi mission means?

My father is worried about Folsom Dam near Sacramento being blown up. He observed that the World Trade Center attack was years in the planning and he wonders if Muslims haven't bought lake property and appear to get on well with their neighbors while enjoying water sports in their big motor boats while they are secretly storing explosives and waiting for the go signal.
I live on the opposite coast and saw a 20 something middle eastern male taking pictures of a water tower near where my son lives. I turned my car around to get the tag number off his dark pick up truck but he sped off.

Cables on suspension bridges are several feet in diameter - unless they're going to "cut" them with a bomb...nothing's getting cut.The wires connecting the cables to the roadway are much thinner, however...

Through Al Qanada, probably.

But if we leave Iraq alone, all those sleepers will leave us alone--won't they? I'm sure they will because Ted Kennedy, Tom Daschole, and Joe LIEberman all say so, and they wouldn't lie to us would they?

Right now the DU's are talking about how they can destroy Blair to get to Bush. They're heads are completely empty.
Thank the good Lord these people don't run our country.
Tonight, even though my husband is a stock market guy and not into politics, he said he felt more secure right now because there's adults in charge in Washington. (Smart man)

I would like to remind cair that they themselves are LIARS!!

"...all of the toll takers were swarthy- looking men with towels on their heads."Relax. Ninety-nine out of a hundred turbans you see are worn by Sikhs, who are righteous folk. Sikhism has nothing to do with Islamit's basically a monotheistic form of Hinduism.

They may use acid at strategic structural points.
To: valkyrieanne
And these Iraqis have entered the country *how?*I do not understand this. Normally, the victor enters the vanquished's territory, not the other way around.
To: areafiftyone
This is one reason I love FR, the privileged information we share here. Thanks, Areafiftyone. It is scary, but I'm happier the FBI was there, than NOT having them check it out.
