New year's evil?
Federal agents are scrambling to stop a new Y2K worry: terror
By JOHANNA MCGEARY
cover photo

December 27, 1999
Web posted at: 11:30 a.m. EST (1630 GMT)

The terror of terrorism is what you don't know. You can listen all you want to warnings to be vigilant. Cops can scan crowds; dogs can sniff luggage; border crossings can be tightened; you can report parcels left unattended. But if--when--it comes, you won't be warned. "We're not confident we can stop it," admits an Administration official.

Nonetheless, the Clinton team is determined to try. It lives in dread of an NSSE--the Disneyesque abbreviation for a national-security special event that triggers special precautions. But with Y2K happening all across the world, a flood of threats has washed in from every corner of the globe, and suspicious characters have been arrested. There's no shortage of danger out there. The government has conducted drills in 27 cities for an NSSE, but the real strategy is "Raise your defenses and plan for the aftermath." So when the Administration's heavy hitters convened in the basement of the White House Monday afternoon to hash over a subject so sensitive that few of their top aides were allowed in, they had a surfeit of possibilities to worry about but precious little that was concrete and even less they could do.

And the list goes on and on and on.....

3. The Newsmax
article is a good one particularly since NM is a RW rag.

And after 5 years of not really looking the trail hasd gone cold. How the RW can sweep that under the rug shows how delusional they really are.

8. what was the Clinton administration's position with Pakistan?
Now that I have seen Press for Truth I realize what a major factor the ISI was in the attacks. Does anyone know Clinton's position on Pakistan? I am curious.

17. The rethugs have been and still are our biggest enemy
Such petty little assholes, their hatred of clinton led up to 9/11. Their hatred of other cultures, people's, life styles, will keep reaping terrible results.

Let us hope that this november brings us all some much needed hope!!!
