Where are all the Al Qaeda sleeper cells Bush said were in America?
Seems like with our hands all tied up with Katrina they would have had the opportunity of a lifetime to do some dastardly deeds if they were so inclined to harm America. Makes me wonder if there actually are any Al Qaeda sleeper cells in America? Just saying.

FBI Director Says No Signs That Terrorists Plan to Take Advantage of Katrina's Devastation

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. intelligence agencies have not detected any signs that terrorists are planning attacks because of Hurricane Katrina despite weaknesses the storm exposed in disaster readiness, FBI Director Robert Mueller said Wednesday.

"We have not seen any indication that terrorists see this as a unique opportunity or that this would in any way trigger an attack that perhaps was not in the staging process before," Mueller told reporters at a briefing at FBI headquarters.

While many federal resources have been diverted to the Gulf Coast, Mueller said the FBI has not let down its guard.

The FBI has sent 350 to 400 of its 12,000 agents to the New Orleans area to help local police and monitor billions of dollars in federal reconstruction contracts.

2. Oh, you mean that Al Booshqa gang of terrorists?
They are the only terrorists I can imagine doing anything.

I guess when you make up a threat of phony terrorist cells, you should take into account some other facts so as not to appear foolish. Oh, wait. Too late.

5. They went to South America and we are trying to protect Paraguay
Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 06:53 PM by higher class
- that is what the military (or is it the State Dept.) claims as a reason for U.S. military is moving into Paraguay - to prevent terrorists crossing the border from Brazil and Argentina. Paraguay, the new home of Rev Moon - he bought millions of acres. The U.S. regime also seems to be very interested in the world's largest aqua fir.
