NEWS: Tunnel Terrorists Nabbed

POLITICS: Tunnel Terrorists Nabbed

Possibly inspired by the Discovery Channel's entertaining programming featuring a potentially flooded New York city following a "solar storm," three men were taken into custody today to thwart their attempt to flood lower manhattan by destroying a tunnel.

These arrests, if they lead to convictions, will be significant scores for law enforcement agencies who have been tasked with the exceedingly difficult program of trying to stop terrorist plots before they've been hatched. It also answers one question that has been nagging the minds of many Americans since 9/11, will we ever know if anti-terror law enforcement is working, since the government wouldn't want to divulge details of every plotter they caught? The answer is yes, since a "leak" in FBI, and likely other law enforcement agencies, is incapable of containing his or her exuberance at this triumph of intelligence and investigation and refrain from going to the press after something good happens. Not that I'm not pleased at the arrest of these people who, for whatever misguided purpose, seek to terrorize one of the areas in the US with the highest concentration of people opposed to Bush's foreign policies. But let's not go on pretending that the government is constantly putting away terrorists that they just aren't telling us about.

Dopes didn't realize you can't flood lower Manhattan by blowing up a tunnel since Manhattan is all above sea level. The only thing that would be flooded would be the tunnel itself and Ground Zero.

I don't get it.

We should be expecting more and more of these arrests as we get closer to November 7th.

After that, strangely, they will drop off.

You couldn't flood Manhattan with a two-foot snowstorm (Nor'easter) last February, so how is water from a below sea level tunnel going to "flood" more than just the tunnel ramps at the surface?

Next the media will tell us that the South Asia tsunami was an Al-Qeida plot.....

I dont want to sound like a nut..
But has anybody ever questioned if these stories are real.
its no lie that the Reaganites are notorious for fueling their countries fear to get what they want.. and since bush has lied to all of us before.. perhaps this shit is a lie too..


Just a thought.. what do you think

Agreed, agreed, and agreed..

its pretty sad when you start not to care because you cant trust the information your getting.. people should be very concerned with this... but we arnt.. can you blame us

The laws of physics do not apply near elections.

The Washington press corps takes a break from a heavy session of reiteration......

The timing's amazing: on the one year anniversary of the London bombings. How'd've thought it?

Maybe that's why they've been pushing SUVs so hard? Amphibious day to day vehicles for navigating the modern, underwater city!

Be careful with what you say or the all mighty Illuminati may wisk you off in the night...(insert sacrasm here)

You are right, they should arrest Al Gore for making up global warming.

Hey buddy, ever here of these:

Many will say September 11, 2001. The answer as far as the United State
is concerned is 1979, 22 years prior to September 2001, with the
following attacks on us:

* Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979;
* Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983;
* Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983;
* Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988;
* First New York World Trade Center attack 1993;
* Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996;
* Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998;
* Dares Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998;
* Aden, Yemen USS Cole 2000;
* New York World Trade Center 2001;
* Pentagon 2001.

Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were 7,581 terrorist
attacks worldwide.

Hey did you notice that 5 of those attacks occured on Clinton's watch? Maybe you think Clinton is one of those looney right wingers.

I am sorry, but is being obtuse a thing with you?

I'm just asking is all.

You are the one suggesting that there is some right wing shadow conspirecy that some how is able to not only fake news stories about terror plots but is able to control the left wing liberal media to boot. That is a hard pill for me to swallow. I am sure you know who the Illuminati are and if you do then my remark should be easily understood.

that tunnel is well under the bed of the river. wouldnt a blast just shoot out the ends of the tunnel? to be honest, it makes me paranoid even bringing it up.

vermicious_knid is right, the damned Trilateral Commission is to blame for all terrorist attacks on the U.S. Damn that David Rockefeller.

I feel you are a victim of selective perception. Also, there is no such thing as the Illuminati, you watch too much TV.

ummmmmm..there are arrests like this all over the world, not just in america

Yea its ridiculous! Almost as ridiculous as your facial hair! OH SNAP!

shit - you're right

this can only mean that their privacy was invaded.

What about their human rights and civil liberties?

Well, gee, no, I didn't say any of that. My point was simply that this administation controls the security apparatus and therefore controls the when, where and how of the release of information.

In order the win the midterm elections the Repulicans need Americans to be fearful. Bush (Rove) is simply doing his part.
