1. some believe the explosions at Texas oil refineries were inside jobs, too.

[Just Me]

12. I've wondered about those explosions and the series of cruise ships,...

,...with passengers ending up sick with "food poisoning"? :shrug:

Surely, the BushCO/neoconster regime would not conceal terrorist acts that have occured since 9/11, would they? }(

16. Norovirus has nothing to do with terrorists

There are thousands of cases of norovirus a year, I doubt there is a terrorist plot to give people diarrhea.

2. Recommended.

We need to keep reminding people about this so that the Bush Crime Family can't set up another "terrist" attack when the "Patriot" Act expires.

[Walt Starr]

3. And remind them of the fact that spying on American citizens did nothing

to stop terrorist attacks by homegrown American terrorists!

4. Personally Stopping Terrorist

When talking about stopping terrorist, I always speak up with my own contribution to stopping terrorist. I live on a side road that leads into my town, more like the back door to town. I watch this road daily to monitor terrorist activity. With my diligence, I have yet to let a single terrorist by.

If I do see a terrorist, I could call the local police, but with all the cuts from lack of federal help, they wouldn't be able to respond. Still going to man my post. Just doing my part to keep America free.

9. Department of Homeland Security T- Shirt

I have a friend (some of my best friends are bikers and NRA members and Cops) with a T-shirt that says

THE ORIGINAL DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY--

Amendment II -- A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

14. My point is.

The government can say they are stopping the terrorist, but are they doing any better then me. I take what they say they have stopped with a grain of salt.

18. Mike Chertoff and DHS remind me of my cat

I live in a high rise - and I have never seen a mouse in the condo - ever - so I guess the cat is doing a good job ---->

She sure does a job on the catnip mice.

5. Don't forget the bombing of the mosque in OH yesterday...

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1428576

CINCINNATI Dec 21, 2005 — Two explosions caused minor exterior damage at a mosque complex about two hours after evening prayers, and federal agents joined the investigation.

No injuries were reported and police hadn't found any witnesses to the Tuesday night explosions at the Islamic Association of Cincinnati mosque, police Capt. Gene Hamann said.

The FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were involved in the case, joining Cincinnati and State Highway Patrol state investigators, FBI Special agent Mike Brooks said.

6. but but but

oh wait, you're right.

[RagingInMiami]

7. The anthrax letter to Daschle's office was postmarked Oct. 9th

And the USA Patriot Act was passed Oct. 12, 2001.

Not only were these terrorist attacks homegrown, they appeared to have an agenda.

[Beam Me Up]

8. An agenda. And then the investigations were just dropped.

Hmm hmm hmm.

[RagingInMiami]

10. As well as the letters

[centristo]

23. damn

i never knew that. that's a little chilling.

[Al-CIAda]

26. Why did the White House go on Cipro weeks BEFORE the Anthrax 'attacks'?

27. Why did the White House go on Cipro weeks BEFORE the Anthrax 'attacks'?

11. Don't forget the bomb-in-the-car in D.C. earlier this year

Oh, wait that was staged by the admin.

[Norquist Nemesis]

13. Given the CorpNews fondness for the GOP

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if a few of things that have happened and are reported with the tag line "terrorism is not suspected" really were just that.

Unless there were an attack of the magnitude of the WTC, would they even tell us? Or would it be kept under wraps, all in the name of National Security? I can imagine law enforcement and government telling reporters "not a terror attack" on the reasoning of not creating fear and panic...at least until late 2007 when Democrats are showing a strong performance in the run for the WH.

15. Don't forget the beltway snipers and that guy in Ohio, too. n/t

Pizza pal tipped police to Ohio suspect
McCoy arrested in Las Vegas

Thursday, May 6, 2004 Posted: 11:25 AM EDT (1525 GMT)

COLUMBUS, Ohio (CNN) -- The suspect in the Ohio highway shootings was arrested Wednesday after a man recognized him in a Las Vegas sports bar.

Charles McCoy Jr., the suspect in the two dozen Ohio shootings which includes one fatality, was captured without incident.

Beltway sniper attacks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Beltway sniper attacks took place during three weeks of October 2002 in the Mid-Atlantic United States. Ten people were killed and three others critically injured by spree killers in and around Washington, D.C., in various locations throughout the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area and along Interstate 95 in Virginia. It was later learned that the rampage apparently began the month before with murders and robbery in other states which had resulted in 3 deaths.

The ordeal finally ended on October 24, when police arrested John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo at a highway rest area off of Interstate 70 near Hagerstown, Maryland, after receiving two telephone tips from alert citizens. It was later learned that the three-week-long rampage was motivated, at least in part, by a plot to extort $10 million from government agencies.

In 2004, Muhammad was sentenced to death and Malvo to several sentences of life imprisonment without parole in Virginia for several of the attacks. Many more criminal charges are pending against each man, although a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in another case in March 2005 effectively precludes a death penalty for Malvo. Muhammad's death penalty was affirmed by the Virginia Supreme Court on April 22, 2005, and he is awaiting execution.

Neither sniper was legally allowed to acquire firearms in the U.S. The dealer responsible for the rifle used in the attacks had an extensive record of firearms violations, and had not reported the gun missing (after it had apparently been shoplifted by Malvo) as required by law. A civil lawsuit alleging negligence against both the gun dealer and the manufacturer who made and distributed the weapon resulted in a US$2.5 million out-of-court settlement for survivors and families of victims. Gun control advocates considered the settlement a victory in their efforts to reduce gun-related violence in the United States.

19. Don't forget the massive power outage in Aug 2003

20. Tularemia bioterrorism at Sept 24 march in DC:

Bioterrorist attack in Washington, D.C.?
By: IO ERROR
Posted: October 20, 2005 8:11 am

On September 24, six bioweapons air sensors around the Mall in Washington, D.C., registered positive for airborne traces of francisella tularensis, bacteria with flu-like symptoms that can be deadly if untreated. At the same time, 300,000 people were on the Mall protesting the Iraq war. So far as anyone can tell, nobody died. Was it a terrorist attack gone wrong, the government running some kind of test, or something else?

First, what we do know.

On Sep. 24, a large anti-war protest took place on the Mall in Washington, D.C. The march was organized by United for Peace and Justice, a group the FBI has previously placed under surveillance when it protested the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City.

That same day, and no other day before or since, six biohazard sensors around the Mall detected “low levels” of the tularemia bacteria.

The U.S. military keeps stockpiles of tularemia for use as a biological weapon.

It wasn’t until six days later that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning to U.S. doctors to be on the lookout for tularemia cases.

21. I include 9/11

And I exclude the entire argument of terrorism. Because once the last terrorist is dead, terrorism will still exist. It's an idea. You can't kill ideas.


9/11 should be included. By doing so, it puts the responsibility on the Bush administration. Not the terrorists. And rightly so, since the entire argument has been turned upside down. I mean, 9/11 was not a surprise.

[Czolgosz]

22. Property crime environmental protests are wrong but they are not terrorism

That's my view, but the * administration calls it "ecoterrorism."

If you buy * administration claim that claim that environmentalists who engage in property crimes as a form of protest are "ecoterrorists," then you cannot also buy the * administration claim that there have been no terror attacks in the US since 9/11:

I don't approve of these acts, but since they are not directed at killing or injuring civilians (or even non-civilians for that matter) I certainly do not consider these acts terrorism, but * does, and so his anti-terror nonsense fails the sniff test under his own under definition of terrorism.

24. And, don't forget

Weren't the DC Snipers self-professed terrorists? I know Maryland, Virginia & DC were pretty terrified at the time.
