Holy crap! I'm watching the news right now and the FBI arrested an illegal alien from Jordan, 19 years old, who tried to blow up Fountain Place in downtown Dallas today. I worked in that building for over 10 years until my company moved into our own building last year. The guy said he was trained by Al Queda and wanted to kill Americans. Fortunately the FBI was on this plot for months and the bomb was a dud. I'm sure there is more to follow.
Lordy, I worked in Yemen for years, was there when the USS Cole was bombed, and never felt any personal threat at all. I guess what really bothers me now is that our President wants to deal with terrorists, terrorist nations and illegals by writing them a business letter. Next time we might not be so lucky.

This is the reason why we need to keep the Patriot Act...to keep track of these idiots. A lot of people have forgotten 9/11...it could easily happen again. Also noticed a bomb plot was foiled in NYC, and another one in Illinois (by a dumba** American dude).

Well, according to a US Intelligence estimate back in 2007, Al Queda already leaders already operate throughout South Africa.
With my own awareness of the poor performance of our security forces , as well as the fact that many senior members of our ANC goverment were former Marxist acttivists, as well as members of other radical groups - I do beleive that the US Intelligence estimate is very accurate......
