i suppose this is one good thing about the decentralization of Al-Qaeda -- when you have groups with little or no central command, and groups that are "inspired" by AQ as opposed to actually employed by them, then you get a good watering down of the talent pool, which makes them much easier to catch.

I don't know if it's election year fear mongering or the real deal.
No physical evidence existed, and if they had them under surveillance, I think they should have waited for them to acquire something instead of relying on wild ideas. From CNN.com Quote:

Wow, I wondered who they tortured to get those guys?
Sorry. Just couldn't pass that one up. |

it's just really sad that all threats, real or not, are going to be impossible to talk about without the following questions being raised:
1. how politically motivated? 2. was torture involved? while all wars are, to some extent, wielded as political tools by both parties, it seems to me that, for Rove at least, this war has been nothing but a political tool. |

Yeah, i'll wait until more info gets out. As Irvine alluded, it's sad that now we're so cynical of our law-enforcement authorities that we actually have to wonder if this is only a PR stunt. They make such a huge splash about these things and many times the story just putters out (like the British case last month of the two suspected terrorists who turned out to be completely benign...one even got shot in the raid).
Here's more weird reports about this from CTV (Canadian Television website): http://sympaticomsn.ctv.ca/servlet/A...i_probe_060623 A man who called himself Brother Corey told CNN late Thursday that five of the men were his "brothers" and they belonged to a group called the "Seas of David." He described the "Seas of David" as a religious group that blends the teachings of Christianity and Islam. --------------- "Blends" the teachings of Christianity and Islam? Now there's a valiant attempt at bridging the gaps between the two religions. It's getting nutty out there. |

and keep in mind, it's entirely possible that there is nothing political about this.
but given Republican history -- Tom Ridge admitting, after he stepped down, that many of the "Orange Alerts" were near total fabrications, and the fact that they tended to take place right after something major happened for Kerry, like announcing a running mate or the whole Democratic Convention -- it's simply hard not to be suspicious. |

It's sad that it's come to this, we have to be so careful about believing things the government says to us.

What rights do they have anyway if they wanted to destroy the very country that protects them? You can't have it both ways.....it's like the guy who killed his parents and pleaded for mercy because he was an orphan...... |
