ABC Pimps for the WH AGAIN.. leaks 6-month old Terra Plot on eve of SOTU
http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=2813235&page=1

...and, the f*ckers have a "related" poll on the web page: 'Is Iraq's Success Tied to our Safety'".

They're STILL playing the Terra Card over there? Is the public that idiotic to fall for this crap again? What is ABC they going to do next: re-run the original un-cut 'Path To 9-11"?



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."

<snip>

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.


The plot was discovered six months ago, roughly the same time that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, was killed by coalition forces. Sources tell ABC News that the suspects involved in the effort to launch the U.S. attack were closely associated with Zarqawi.

1. MSNBC had it as "breaking"news. Obviously just released by the WH. The story
was so convoluted it was difficult to follow, and at the end the guy reporting basically said there wasn't much to it.
