I bet you a 25 megaton airburst if something does happen, things will go badly for those responsible.

It's better than saying nothing. On the off chance that something DOES happen, at least he covered his ass. :)

Ashcroft wouldn't have made anything public if there weren't a real, and possible threat of something occuring. Anything can happen any given day.

Yeah. Your guys' attitude is rather disheartening. How soon we forget . . . :(

How can the US Government expect the American people to be on ready/red alert status all the freakin' time?

Why did they term it "two men and a dozen associates" Why not just a group of about 12 people have made threatening gestures or somesuch?

I assume its either : a) the two men are senior/leader and have been positively identified or b) the associates are all women.

this same thing has been told to us how many times since 9/11? Are we supposed to suddenly believe it?

<< FBI link with details >>

Either someone at the FBI likes to scream, or has a broken CAPS LOCK key

Israel does it. Every adult is required to serve in the military. It's not uncommon to walk around and see ordinary citizens carrying their machine guns home from training. School field trips are generally accompanied by squads of soldiers.

So the way I see it, we either give a little bit of alertness now until the terrorist situation is taken care of, or be prepared to turn the country into an armed camp like Israel.

Warnings are far preferable to watching the World Trade Center collapse. Grow up! :disgust:

As a result of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and on-going interviews of detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, information has become available regarding threats to U.S. interests. Recent information indicates a planned attack may occur in the United States or against U.S. interests in the country of Yemen on or around 02/12/02. One or more operatives may be involved in the attack, including fawaz yahya al-rabeei, also known as (aka) furqan. Al-rabeei is believed to be a yemeni national born in saudi arabia in 1979. He may be traveling on yemeni passport 00452004. Other al-rabeei aka's include fawaz yahia hassan aribii, fawaz al-rubai, fawaz yehia hassan al-rabie, fawaz yahya hasan al-rabi'i, fawaz yahya al-ribi (al-ruba'i, al-rabia'i, al-rabi'i), forqan al-tajiki, furqan al-tajiki, furgan al-tajiki, furqan the chechen, faris al-baraq, sa'id, musharraf, and salem al-farhan.
Al-rabeei's current whereabouts are unknown.
No physical descriptors for al-rabeei are available at this time.
Below are known associates of al-rabeei.
Currently, no physical descriptors are known.


Then there's a list of terrorists, but you guys can read it when the site is back up. I've done a case-replace on this, because everything was in capitalized, so some names are in lower caps. Anyway, you guys figure it out. ;)
