--liberals -ACLU-NYT might have learned anything from plot uncovered by internet/phone survailance to flood tunnels in New York--or do you think they will still beat the drums about non profiling--and abuse of citizens rights--and if they and the kennedy's -kerry's -boxers and feinstiens continue to beat same drum and NYT continues to aid enemy--do you think there may just be a few that see the light --or do you think there will have to be another catastrophe to wake them up?

shit...sorry smurph....can`t do it....

""WASHINGTON - Authorities have disrupted planning by foreign terrorists for an attack on New York City tunnels, two law enforcement officials said Friday.

FBI agents monitoring Internet chat rooms used by extremists learned in recent months of the plot to strike a blow at the city’s economy by destroying vital transportation networks, one official said.

Lebanese authorities, acting on a U.S. request, have arrested one of the alleged plotters, identified as Amir Andalousli, the other official said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still under way.

A senior Lebanese security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the suspect was arrested a month ago. He said his real name is as Assem Hammoud, and that the native of Beirut admitted to the plot.

Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y., said, “This is one instance where intelligence was on top of its game and discovered the plot when it was just in the talking phase.”

schumer sure has gall.....

notice anything missing from the article?....like the word "muslim"?....

jeez, go to a mosque, wrap women in bedsheets, and show an unnatural affection for goats and camels and the media treats you like you're lord voldemort or something....


i did see a mention in the n.y.t.`s....

"The conspirators come from "a broad strata" of Lebanese society.... We`re sure that their ranks include Maronites, Orthodox Christians, Druze, and secularists.""/sarcasm......

"It's unlikely that any plan to flood the financial district would work because it is above the level of the Hudson River."

can you say "morons looking for a pronoun"?

????

if the plotters really want to flood lower manhattan, why don't they just wait until the polar ice caps melt and the sea level rises?....

al gore`s movie proved that.... :yup

Actually, Fox was saying the same thing today. I have no idea, but apparently that's the consensus.

Also, by Fox's account, it was sniffed out by monitoring Muslim internet chatrooms. Didn't say anything about 'phones' or anything else about the internet.

Let's try to stick to facts here, or at least when bashing news outlets, throw them all in there.

Heck I thought they just said most were from here. Home grown?

No, supposedly none of them have ever been to the States.

 

[djv]

Never been here and somehow are just going to come and plant bombs?

Well, I don't doubt it was a real plot, but it was discovered a year ago at the very beginning stages, according to reports from Fox.

Who knows, but since then i'm sure we've pursued/indentified a lot of these guys and gotten some captured by 'unnamed' foreign agencies according to reports from Fox.

So whatever the case, it's not a bad thing.

 

[djv]

Heck no catch them first ask questions later I agree.

DJV- You might be thinking of the plot to bomb the Sears Tower in Chicago. Those guys were all homegrown (I think).

.............................................................

Uh if they went into the holland tunnel and brougt in a huge truck and set it off.

Your telling me that the water that would shoot thru that tunnel at 200 mph would not flood some shit in the financial district.

oh ok

 

[THE KOD]

If these morons have been talking about this for a year, its hard to believe that we are not going to get hit again by them.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

I can't believe we haven't been hit in almost 5 years since 911.
We got to be top of list of their agenda.
A little talked about part of this sting is apparently we chose to have them inerogated elsewhere. Not hard to understand why.
Couldn't get much info with attorneys-rights groups and NYT reporting every move. Wonder if NYT has any remorse on their big hoopla about us holding terrorist in prisons in other countries.
--and wonder if if folks start realizing they and ACLU are as dangerous if not more so than terrorist to our security.
I could think of some dandy commercials to run come 08--and I'd definately run the one with the wolves again.

..............................................................................

So how many tons of water would come in here ?

It would be a catastrophe of major proportions.

 

[djv]

I don't know if we can count that high. But one of those wise engineers said. Pressure or something like that and water running up hill would slow then stop. They said water might not even come in.

"--and wonder if if folks start realizing they and ACLU are as dangerous if not more so than terrorist to our security."

a free press and the ACLU are more dangerous than Al Qaeda...no need to ever think again, just lap up Limbaugh, Hannity, and O'Reilly and pat yourself on the back for being one American who "gets it"...the world is flat, the earth was created 5,000 years ago, global warming is a communist plot, and gays are bad....etc, etc, etc.....
