if this is true not sure what their goal would have been

Oh but the bomb scare and now this has *nothing* to do with anything.....it was the wind the brought down the plane....right....

 

[Genx87]

I'd think by now AQ would take credit.

Babies and 90 year old women are on our "terror watch list".

"Terrorist watch lists are notoriously unreliable."

It's still way too early to draw any conclusions - first impressions and conjecture in disasters such as this are essentially disproved months later (with much less fanfare)

 

[woodie1]

As stated above, if this was terrorism you'd think they would have taken credit by now. Or, why haven't they taken credit?

 

[dsity]

did you guys not read the article?

However, Al Qaeda did not take responsibility for the 9/11 attacks for months afterward. That's not unusual, says Thomas. No one claimed responsibility immediately after the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. A Libyan national was later convicted of conspiracy to plant a bomb on the plane and is serving a life sentence. "It's not unusual for there not to be an immediate claim," says Thomas. "Still, I'd temper all speculation until the black boxes are found."

What a cunning plan to strike fear into the residents of South Atlantis!

Where's Patrick Duffy when you need him?

 

[hellod9]

There are 1,000,000+ people on the US "terror" watch list. With numbers that large we should be terrified of either the terrorists or the government. Which do you pick?

LOL'd heartily. :thumbsup:

 

[EagleKeeper]

While a name may be on the list; there are probably anywhere from a dozen to hundreds with the same name.

Only a coward would fall for that, you're a coward, thus you fall for it. The Big Lie is nothing more than a tool to make you think you need protection. Since you're a bed wetting coward, you need it.

I work in Manhattan. Sure, thousands died, but the last thing I'd want is for other people take advantage of my death, give up freedoms, and "avenge" me.

Fucking jokes like you are the ones who give the government more power. Imaginary "safety" items, such as making babies take off their shoes in the airport and harassing people over a bottle of water is what it buys you.

Let me know when your balls drop. That is, if you even have a pair of raisins to drop into that tiny, constricted, sack of yours.

Be afraid of the public's intolerance fr any terrorism, willing to accept authoritarian measures to 'protect us' when there's an attack.

Look at how it's assumed that Obama would absurdly be politically destroyed if there's an attack, with Bush and Cheney 'proven right' about something and Republicans returned.

That's a terrible political environment that pushes the government to do bad things to try to 'prevent an attack'.

Imagine if the public had no tolerance for murder and insisted it be practically eliminated - what steps would the government have to take to do that?

Want to do some good, sign up for the ACLU and encourage people to not lose their minds if there's an attack, to value their liberties, and to oppose the Cheney power grab.

I'm beginning to think the (over)reaction to 9/11 was worse than 9/11 itself.

 

[Patranus]

Look, it might just be coincidental but remember that there were BOMB THREATS against the plane.

Beginning? I've thought that the last 5 years.

Link to proof about threats against that plane? I see general threats, which people say happen every once in a while.

No, there where bomb threat against a different flight 4 days prior. Bomb threats, unfortunately, are fairly common. The jet threatened was delayed and searched.

The one thing I said right when 9/11 happened was that it was important our nation not let it change our nation for the worse, causing harm the terrorirts could not.

Unfortunately, the nation did just that, led by the exploitations of the Republican leaders, but the citizens were largely supporting them.

We need people to value rights and freedom over the panic if there's an attack. If there were an attack today, people should look to Obama, not Cheney, for the policy.

It was planned out once 9/11 happened. The government took the opertunity offered by the attack and did a major power grab. It wasn't overreaction, it was designed. how do you think they had the patriot act so fast. It was sitting somewhere just waiting for an event such as 9/11.
