Breaking CNN. Terror arrests in Miami.

[maveric]

Suspects were planning on blowing up Sears Tower in Chicago.

1. dammit that was my idea....

I hate copycat terra-ists.

[nevergiveup]

2. Hang on

Between now and the election we are going to be hearing a lot about foiled terrorist plots on American soil.

[madokie]

12. so that is the reason for keeping the detainees in gitmo, they need

a 'towel head' to trot out from time to time in the alleged plots and then give them trials and they seem to be on the up and up. protecting up poor defensive murkins. FUCK

[Gold Metal Flake]

3. So did they find this cell by carpet bombing Florida?

Or were they using those old, lame, Clintonesque "law enforcement" techniques?

[Gold Metal Flake]

4. Oops. For got to ask...

Does this constitute fighting them over here?

[originalpckelly]

5. We should wait and see...

like I have said about a hundred times before. We haven't even heard the details. I doubt they will make this smell any better, but I still think we should wait for our own credibility.

It does appear from the little we know that this was some sort of sting operation. Only time will tell if it involved some form of entrapment.


We should be suspicious about everything that comes out between now and November, but we should present the facts to prove what we are saying. That way we will have some chance of getting people to understand their fears are being used.

[dysfunctional press]

6. "planning"...?

it'll be interesting to see how close they got to the "execution" phase of the plan- and how workable the plan was...and if they had the ability to carry out the plan...among other things.

between this and the wmd story- it seems almost like they might be trying to divert attention away from murderous marines or something.

7. good thing

we are fighting them over there so we don't have to fight thewm over here!!! :sarcasm:

[flordehinojos]

8. OOPS some more people headed for guantanamo. no charges. no witnesses. no

trials. no court dates. the cuban national anthem has a line which says, "VIVIR EN CADENAS ES MORIR" translation: "To live in chains is to die"--these guys are going to be chained up in guantanamo. they might be the next suicide prisoners of the guantamo gulag.

9. I thought we were fighting them over there so we didn't have to fight them

here. :shrug:

[frustrated_lefty]

10. Alert is now chartreuse. Get out the spandex.

[KharmaTrain]

11. The Plane Was Gonna Fly From Miami To Chicago?

Some dumb terrorists. That's over 1,000 miles and all most the fuel is spent. The 9/11 hijackers knew for "maximum" effect to hijack cross-country flights that were loaded to the gills with fuel.

Flying a plane into the Sears Tower isn't like the WTC...a far smaller target at the top to aim and...and with little fuel to start the internal fires that weakened the structure, it like asking Richard Reid to tie his shoes.

Sounds more like another CNN scare alert...get the sheep skittish...guess they couldn't find an attacking shark or bear.
