Details Emerge About Possible [Iraqi] Terror Threat

[NinetySix]

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2007 — Mimicking the hijackers who executed the Sept. 11 attacks, insurgents reportedly tied to al Qaeda in Iraq considered using student visas to slip terrorists into the United States to orchestrate a new attack on American soil.

Lt. Gen. Michael D. Maples, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, recently testified that documents captured by coalition forces during a raid of a safe house believed to house Iraqi members of al Qaeda six months ago "revealed was planning terrorist operations in the U.S."

At the time, Maples offered little additional insight into the possible terror plot. ABC News, however, has learned new details of what remains a classified incident that has been dealt with at the highest levels of government.

Wow, that's some REALLY scary propaganda. And it's on the level -- it's from ABC NEWS, so it MUST be true! Now that I know what they were up to, I'm on-board with your Surge™, Mister Prrzzdent.

9. Yeah, monitor the hell out of them!

And if they're jaywalking, arrest them on the assumption that they're crossing the street to plant a bomb.

By the way, were you trying to impugn American bravery?!?


(BTW, forgive me if my irony/snideness/sarcasm switch is stuck in the "on" position this morning.)

7. I must be either old or cool. This stuff does not worry me.

I can not recall one time I have lived in that some nut cases were not doing this.Some place, all the time, some fringe group think they can get what they want by this stuff and even reading history I find they are also been around for ever. They have blow us kings, children and places where one prays. It is just how some nuts work and it will be with us even with out a Bush in office. Can anyone on this site tell me when this stuff was not going on someplace? And like every thing else it does not stay at the same level but goes up and down in how much is done.
