How many such sleeper agents are there in Western countries? From AAP, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
ACCUSED terrorist Joseph Terrence Thomas was told by an al-Qaeda operative that Osama bin Laden wanted him to act as a sleeper agent in Australia, a Victorian court has heard.Opening the trial of Thomas in the Victorian Supreme Court today, Crown prosecutor Nicholas Robinson said Thomas told Australian Federal Police he had seen bin Laden in "close quarters" on several occasions.
The 32-year-old Werribee man has pleaded not guilty to one count of intentionally receiving funds from a terrorist organisation between November 2002 and January 2003....
Mr Robinson said Thomas told AFP officers he had trained for about three months at an al-Qaeda camp in Afghanistan called Al Farooq around the middle of 2001.
"The accused told police ... that he saw Osama bin Laden in close quarters on a number of occasions," Mr Robinson told the court.
He said that after training at the camp, Thomas went to Pakistan where he stayed in safe houses frequented by al-Qaeda operatives.Mr Robinson said one al-Qaeda member, Khaled Bin Attash, personally handed him $US3500 ($4745) and organised a plane ticket from Pakistan back to Australia.
When AFP agents asked Thomas why Attash wanted him to go back to Australia he said he was to surveil military installations.
"Osama bin Laden wanted an Australian to work for him and to carry out operations in Australia," Mr Robinson said Thomas told police.
"Osama bin Laden wanted an Australian to work for him and to carry out operations in Australia," Mr Robinson said Thomas told police."
George! We have our security problem solved!
Have the VP or the Secretary of Sate give that man a call right now; we'll put him charge of overseeing security operations at Sandi, Livermoore, and White Sands!
We'll sell the idea to the public as ... uh, oh yeah -- a valuable ally in the fight against terror.
Oh heck -- just give it to the speech writers! NOW HURRY!
The fools on the Left like Gore, Kennedy, Screamer Dean or Pelosi should wake up and acknowledge that the West is the target of Islam.
Because they bury their heads in the sand does not mean there is no war going on.
Pitiful bunch of lemmings.
As for the Off With Your Head religion and their cartoon prophet, let's take them out.
"Jihad" Jack Thomas (as he is known)now has the services of one of the best barristers here, Mr Lex Lasry,QC.
He is pleading not guilty. Lasry says he, Thomas, was "naive", but is no terrorist.So how do you define "terrorist"? Having a session with bin laden has got to come pretty close IMHO,or will they wait till he kills someone?
More fun Downunder!
A multicultural channel the government set up, channel SBS, runs more pictures from Abu Graihb. Like,,,we really needed more of them right now!
An Anti-semitic cartoon is sent to the Iranian Press for their competition. The cartoonist didn't send it in - someone else did it as a prank. End result: It gets shown all over Aussie tv, but still no Mo.(The cartoon was pulled in 2002). The cartoonist is upset: not about his cartoon or the obscene competition - because he was used, poor Mr Michael Leunig! He is now a victim of his own offensive cartoons.
A member of parliament, Danna Vale is chastised for saying if we keep having abortions we will become a muslim nation in 50 years. (She is probably right.)
The local muslims are seriously "p***ed off. Funny,,,I would have thought that would make them happy.That is what they want, isn't it?
This is all so frustrating.
Has anyone got any ideas as to how we can legally deport all these nutters as many have suggested? Sadly I cannot see it happening real soon.
How many sleepers in Australia, I would say that there are one hang of a lot, but one can only guess, but ...
A few years ago, before the illegals came to Australia, there was a TV documentary, where the commentator showed a very important man from one of the islands near Australia and this man warned of the coming illegal.
He warned that men from the Middle East etc, were going to come down in boats, destroy their papers and enter Australia as scared refugees. He said that by destroying their papers, no one could send them back, and he also said that most of them were army...
I watched these boats as they came in, there were a few women and children but the boats were mostly full of men???? Now what normal man would leave their wives and children back home to be persecuted, if indeed they were????.
Can anyone remember this documentary???...
