"US Warned of Glasgow Threat Two Weeks Ago," by Richard Esposito and Rhonda Schwartz for ABC News' The Blotter:
U.S. law enforcement officials received intelligence reports two weeks ago warning of a possible terror attack in Glasgow against "airport infrastructure or aircraft," a senior US law enforcement officials tells the Blotter on ABCNews.com.
The intelligence reports also warned that airports and aircraft in the Czech Republic could be the targets of al Qaeda-connected terrorists.
The warnings were kept secret for operational reasons, according to officials. In public, the White House and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff have continued to maintain they know of no specific or credible threats involving the United States, even though the intelligence reports specify US aircraft as possible targets.
A US official told ABCNews.com that the intelligence reports led to the assignment of Federal Air Marshals to flights into and out of both Glasgow and Prague.
Air marshals had been added to flights into and out of Germany late last month, based on similar warnings.
This is off topic, but I would love help in finding an old posting here from several months ago.
It was an article stating appm. 18 or so reasons on "Why a muslims can not be a good citizen or trusted in a democracy." It was something like that so if anyone knows the article please let me know on this article here.
Thanks.

I went to Oldham last week, there were hardly any Pakistanis, they are usually like dog sh**, everywhere. I thought something was up.
Gordon Brown is a Scot. Does that explain things?
GET THE MUSLIMS OUT OF ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND AND IRELAND! NOW!!! DEPORT THEM TO THEIR ORIGINAL CRAPISTANS, NOW!

Send the Pakis packing boys, send the Pakis packing.
This is just another neocon plot to instill fear and control the public in order to install a fundamentalist christian government. At least that is what many on the left are thinking, if not outright saying.
"London-istan calling..."
LOL sanman

In other words, no American GOVERNMENT personnel were in danger. As far as non government affiliated Americans traveling - sucks to be them. They are somehow not worthy of a warning.
That's the tip of the iceberg what we've been tipped off about...these are just diversions by wannabe sympathizers with still a week to go before their intended target date, based on their continued pattern...with the window being between now and September 12th (anyone checked the moon phases, solar & lunar eclipse schedules during this time?-it's a really REALLY BIG CLUE).
At least the UK upped their threat level...the mental midgets here in the US haven't...and that "bumper sticker" mentality will prove to be a lot more sticky than the naive ones ever dreamed, especially when it hits their sand-planted heads right in the face, followed by fists of citizens they fooled recently.
JCOM, I think you're being way to kind about the boys-in-blue, the British authorities, etc. We are as clueless about Islam , Jihad et al, as across the pond. Surely the US and the UK govt , etc are at the bottom of the World awareness league.
It's no surprise because the UK and the US top the PC league
Thus far, what I haven't seen anywhere here or on CNN for that matter, is the word "muslims". Is "muslims" a forbidden word now? Why can't such a large majority of westerners overcome their political-correctness-induced mental disability and see (and say or write) things the way they are?
It's the muslims, stupid!
Once it infests the psyche, it takes over everything.
political correctness simply means politics over all else, to the Nth degree...and historically that has proven to mean relegating its most implacable enemy:
common sense.
pc has been the first, last, and all-else-in-between hallmark of the most totalitarian regimes in history...and it now has infested the entire western world to varying degrees. It didn't happen overnight-it was a slow process (which was predicted long ago, and excoriated...only to be proven true).
Until we purge the enemy within, we will never defeat the enemy without...and don't count on getting anything accurate from the pc likes of the commie news network (cnn)-they reek of said cancer.
political correctness, the unquestionable absolute opposite of common sense, is a mental disorder.
It is killing us.
OK, in later posts to this one, 2 of the Jihadis arrested are doctors, who are described as "cleanskins" and completely off the books. If this Jihadis do not have connections to other terror groups, how did the US Government pass on a warning about an attack at Glasgow Airport? How did they get the info?
They won't give that out, any more than any other intel group would...
...just as we wouldn't explain how we baited the japanese navy into their own trap at Midway 1942
(see "AF reports fresh water condensor broken down")
...to do otherwise would be tantamount to the Brits telling the Germans they captured the ENIGMA machine during WWII...and the reasons are perfectly justified in such cases (never tip your hand to the enemy).
