With current alert for coastline attack risks, this is interesting. Combined Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor is the nation's largest shipping port.

Feinstein's comments about local al Qaida cells are also informative. Good news that the Chief seems to favor pre-emption, and to omit cconcerns for political correctness.

What method of execution do you favor after these Al Qaeda have gotten a fair military tribunal and have been convicted?

"What method of execution do you favor after these Al Qaeda have gotten a fair military tribunal and have been convicted?"

Hadn't thought of it, yet. I personally favor very slow, and very painful. (regardless of the USSC) paleo enough?

How about you?

[FairOpinion]

I think this sounds significant and it is even more significant, than it sounds.

Clearly some 200 AQ types don't hang around LA for nothing.

"U.S Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., also warned of the ongoing threat of terrorism during an address she gave Wednesday to the West Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce."

This does seem to tie in with the latest warning.

[KC_Conspirator]

Stragely enough DiFi has expressed concern about terrorists - but she will be shut up as usual by uber leftists who will cry "racism" at this latest action.

>>How about you?

Firing squad, then feed'em to the hogs, with *.avi video files of all of the above (especially the latter) sent back to their friends and relatives back home, to get the message across.

[FairOpinion]

What happened to wrapping their bodies in pigskin?

[FairOpinion]

On second thought, you are right, there probably wouldn't be much left after the hogs get through dining on them.

Los Angeles police have detained about 200 people believed to have connections to foreign terrorists, Police Chief William Bratton said Wednesday during a morning call-in radio program.

I hate journalists. Ok, so they've detained 200 people. When? Is it 200 people since 9-11-01? Or 200 people in the last week? Or what?

To detain a couple hundred people in a couple of years is nothing. But to think these people have all been hauled in within the last few days is big time creepy.

[FairOpinion]

I know what you mean -- I was getting the impression it was recent, otherwise they would have said something like " over the past year" or some such.

Note also DiFi's comment about how we would be shocked if we knew the real number of terrorist cells operating here.

Then there was that FoxNews alert about the FBI alert for the US coast line a few hours ago today -- though I haven't heard anything more.

And of course the 9-11 anniversary is coming up and we also had a couple of major attacks in Jerusalem and Baghdad.

And AQ claimed responsibility for the blackout. I don't know whether or not they had anything to do with it, but in general I think there are signs pointing to preparations for future attacks.

I just hope we can foil them all.

[Susannah]

"I just hope we can foil them all."

If al Qaeda attacks the USA, it will be played as Bush's fault for messing around in the mideast.

[snippy_about_it]

bump and ping.

[gaspar]

Come on, DiFi, I'm a big boy, I can take it. Shock me! How many cells are there? This is just another Senate blowhard who raises expectations/fears and then like the other congressional worms with whom she works quickly disappears into the rotting Senate woodwork. She should have kept her mouth shut, but deviousness is a Senate trademark.

[StriperSniper]

Feinstein also complained that California is still not getting its fair share of Homeland Security funding to prepare for domestic terrorism,

Two things, first, they want the money to prepare for the aftermath, not prevention, afterall, they can't score political points without an 'I told you so'. Second, even if Washington gave them the money, the police can't even ask foriegners if they belong in this country, but can give them cheap tuition or maybe soon a drivers licence.

These traitors should STFU!

[SAMWolf]

Sounds like the Portland area of Oregon.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

The accusation wouldn't fly very long, like many of the rest launched by the left! al qaeda's terrorism plans and hatred for America predates GWB's presidency and his mideast involvement.

[goody2shooz]

Send the prisoners to work -- at hog farms!!

[Paleo Conservative]

Send the prisoners to work -- at hog farms!!

Work? I would rather feed them to the hogs.

[goody2shooz]

Sounds like the Portland area of Oregon.

Exactly what I was thinking too. We live in Longview, Washington, just fifty miles downriver.
