2. Terror Suspects Charged in NATO Bomb Plot

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - A Turkish court filed terrorism charges against nine suspects Monday in connection with an alleged plot to set off a bomb at a NATO summit in Istanbul next month that President Bush is scheduled to attend.

Private CNN-Turk television said three of the suspects had been plotting a suicide attack on Bush and other Western leaders at the summit, but officials could not confirm the report.

3. Nine In Turkey

And how many others in the US that have been covered up by the SS/Media?

4. I hate to hear about assassination plots on ANY leaders.

and that includes Bush. I want him out of office, not playing the martyr roll like the Pubs would do for the next CENTURY! Besides I really think it would be worse if Cheney or Hastert were President.

I am not surprised by the threat though. I'm sure there have been many since he has consistently made enemies everywhere!

19. We have had 4 assasinations in the US

that were successful and at least 4 maybe 5 attempts.

Assasinations

Lincoln, J W Booth
Garfield Charles Giteau
Mckinley Colgiz ( sp? )
Kennedy No idea - It could not have gone down the way the Warren
Commission stated.

Attempts I know of

Teddy Rosevelt Forgot - an anarchist ?
Gerald Ford Squeaky From
Ronald Reagon Hinkley

and mayby Cllinton. ( remember the small plane crashing into the White House? )

I think it was Stokley Carmichael ( sp ) that said violence is as American as Apple Pie.

A number of presidents fought duels... or was it just Andrew Jackson?
I am not really trying to make a point, I just find this information fascinating.
I guess my sense is this is nothing new to American history.

26. Reagan is already a GOP martyr...

...and he's not even dead yet.

[notadmblnd]

27. I suspect it's just made up

story to evoke sympathy for the chimpmiester

[Solly Mack]

5. I'm only surprised there haven't been more headlines like this

over the last 4 years.

[Just Me]

6. *GULP* I hate to think of Cheney as official ruler,...

,...or, being in such fragile health, Cheney having a heart attack and Delay taking over.

YIKES!!!

I suppose there will be a helluva lot more of these plots against our leadership. See what neocon - PNAC policy gets you: increased terrorism and decreased sense of security. Stupid people.

23. It wouldn't be DeLay...it would be Hastert

...who would do everything DeLay told him to do.

[Jane Austin]

25. All the more reason to defeat DeLay!

Richard Morrison has a real chance of beating DeLay in November.

Please send him $10 today (you can split your large Starbucks with a friend for a few days.)

7. Macedonian police accused of faking terrorism to impress U.S.

Macedonian police gunned down seven innocent immigrants, then claimed they were terrorists, in a killing staged to impress the United States, authorities said Friday.

9. I wonder about this too

It's easy to say "We foiled an attempt" and then fake the evidence.

I know I shouldn't think this way but I can't help it.

[krkaufman]

12. Well, remember...

Not to keep the conspiracy theories afloat, but remember... it was Turkey where those guys were apprehended transporting "YOURANIUM" (who then, mysteriously, were allowed to walk free).

So I don't put too much stock in Turkish intelligence services.

[hang a left]

16. I never believe this shit either.

He will have 500 freaking Secret Service people around him, just like his trip to England. Plus they will probably be there for a month before sniffing out every inch of the place.

[dArKeR]

28. I wonder how many times the truth is never uncovered.

[Just Me]

10. Oh, yeah. See, I have a short memory, too.

Thanks for the reminder!!! :bounce:

[0007]

24. I read that -

Indeed I hope an assassination doesn't happens to this sorry moustache. Perhaps if junior lost his speech and ability to hear temporary that might be OK. I certainly don't want this schmuck to thrown an ace duce.

[leetrisck]

8. "which bush is expected to attend" - not a threat

specifically against bush but the entire group -

[Toucano]

14. You caught that too.

It couldn't have been aimed at Chirac. Oh, no. It's all about Bush.

[maddezmom]

15. BUSH, BUSH, BUSH...it's about meeeeeeeeeee!!!

it's not like he's the only one planning of attending....

[hang a left]

17. And this is telling

"but officials could not confirm the report."

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. Subject line needs to be changed to reflect actual article headline

eom

[opihimoimoi]

13. For a moment, I was thinking of Col Stemmenburger with the Bomb in

the Bunker deal. Damn.

[sniffa]

18. damn

oh weLL.

[daleo]

20. I expected a bigger distraction

So maybe this is for real.

[JohnOneillsMemory]

21. Again, they'll have anti-aircraft guns in place. Just like in July '01.

Because they fucking well knew what could happen with planes used as missiles.

[OneBlueSky]

22. LOL . . . the juxtapositon of that headline and your tag line . . .

is hilarious . . . :)

"9 charged in plot against Bush"

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world . . ."

[KansDem]

29. Hmmm...Turkey's intelligence agencies broke up this plot...

It appears they can "connect the dots" much better than Bush...
