"These discussions reportedly involved the use of suicide bombers or explosives placed on subway/passenger rail systems."
More on the New York City jihad plot. "Sources: Al Qaeda Targets Amtrak N'east Corridor," by Marcia Kramer for CBS, November 26:
NEW YORK (CBS) ― The world's economic fears were violently pushed aside on Wednesday by another global threat -- terrorism.A massive coordinated attack was launched in Mumbai, India just hours after the FBI warned that Al Qaeda may be targeting New York's subways and railroads.
If Al Qaeda terrorists have their way there will be chaos and mayhem here this holiday season, a mass transit bomb plot that would probably affect all the subway and train lines at Penn and Grand Central stations.
"The threat is serious, the threat is significant, and it is plausible," said Congressman Peter King, R-Long Island, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee.
Uniformed officers, including this NYPD Counter Terrorism Squad members and Amtrak cops with M-16s, flooded Penn Station Wednesday after the FBI said it had received a "plausible but unsubstantiated" report that Al Qaeda operatives discussed a plan two months ago to bomb New York City's mass transit system.
The report said: "These discussions reportedly involved the use of suicide bombers or explosives placed on subway/passenger rail systems."...

.................
One of the targets in Mumbai is that city's vast and always busy Victoria Train Station (I don't recall the station's new name). Apparently gunmen were planting bombs on trains. At this point reports are too vague--I'm not sure if they were doing this stealthily, or out in the open.
It doesn't surprise me that they are targeting the stations here in the US here as well.

Mr. Spencer - But isn't saying Al Qaeda is behind it almost like saying jihadists, and thus 'radical' Islam, are behind it? I thought the government couldn't say that anymore. Will the government someday be forced to stop saying Al Qaeda? They must stop and catch these terrorist monkeys, BUT without insulting any potential terrorists, or their friends and supporters.
You do amazing work, please stay safe and healthy, and keep up the great job!
Btw, please enjoy my FREE ebook, your URL is on page 7.

I am with you, Let's win their hearts and minds, and also let us not forget to sit and talk .
They love to argue.
It will give them more time to figure out how to stab us in the back.

So if there is an another attack in New York city, will the Empire State Building still be lit up with green lights to celebrate Eid?

Everyone needs to be aware of their surroundings and report anything that may be suspicious. The most important point is to NOT be feared of these cowards.

Note to those paying attention to public security: hijabis (bagheaded females, regardless of race) with strollers and digital cameras, often in packs, taking photographs for the "family back home."

Bush hit the snooze button.

No it is the religion of peace there all these moderate Muslims. I wonder how do these Islamic Jihadis get their food, lodging, etc. You bet staying with the Moderate Muslims. Islam will get another free ride. Muslims will not be held accountable for their members who carry out these attacks because their religion calls. Why all this silence from the UMMAH and the Moderate Muslims?

I agree that Bush's policies and actions could have been better. But I don't think anyone can seriously argue that Algore or war-hero/protester Kerry would have been an improvement.

Thanks for posting your Philosophy of Liberty animation again; very appropriate for this libertarian on a contemplative Thanksgiving Day. I will, once again, pass it on.
And the answer to your question, ImNoDhimmi, is - unfortunately - yes. Undoubtedly. Dhimmitude runs rampant in these parts. (Can you tell I'm not feeling very optimistic?)

"Everyone needs to be aware of their surroundings and report anything that may be suspicious. "
Yeah, make sure to keep an eye on suspicious blue-haired old white ladies and whatever we do, don't pay special attention to MIddle Eastern looking men or women. Better to sacrifice hundreds of lives than be a "racist".

Thanks Vee, everyone should watch 'The Philosophy of Liberty' cartoon, and also pass on and go see 'Halt Terrorism - The Top Seven Things a Citizen Can Do', over at Citizen Warrior. A great site for teaching us believers how to educate our more Jihad-ignorant friends.
