One little question...

[cornermouse]

While watching the media trumpet far and wide that we have undercovered a network of terrorist worldwide...

At the time of 9/11, were we not told that these terror cells were planned to be small and independent of each other? Were we not told that they maybe had contact with one key person and were unaware of the identity of personnel of other planted terrorist cells? Granted, we could have somehow accidentally caught a key person, but what about today's claim that they're going into local mosques and asking for help? I'm as happy to capture terrorists as anyone else, but this doesn't add up.

4. No it doesn't

but it has everything to do with an extremist sect of Islam trying to hijack the entire religion. In states where the fundamentalists are in power, they persecute progressive/liberal Muslims, destroying their shrines, arresting and torturing people.

Check Muslim/Islam group for more information on this.

3. Most people realized early on - based on Oklahoma - that terrorist.......

.....cells were designed to be small and therefore harder to detect. That much was and is a given. To be truly affective in tracking these terrorists - not just the ones that serve a momentary convenient purpose for Idiot Boy - we need MANY MORE feet on the ground. Those CIA, NSA, etc agents need to get out from in front of their computer monitors and hit the cement so to speak. By the time something hits the computer it's into the final planning stages but we need that early planning info. We also need to get over this "absolute proof" crap because as with anything else in life there will always be a few "hanging shads" that just don't connect. That, however, doesn't mean there isn't a pretty clear pattern of behavior.

5. You should be afraid.

Because of Generic Argument "A". Three months from now, you'll need to be afraid because of the opposite of Generic Argument "A". In another three months, they'll come out with Generic Argument "B".

Recycle, rinse, repeat.

Note that they never actually SOLVE the problems they concentrate on, but just make you aware that you're in danger.
