Hell, the way some of the bleeding heart libs on this forum (and elsewhere) are pouting, lets just open up all our classified programs and secrets and give it all away! Might as well give the terrorists the keys to our bases and hand them a jet or two as well.

Unfortunately its going to take another terrorist strike here in the US to get people to realize that WE ARE AT WAR with these people and you do not give secrets away!

Oh yea, the next terrorist attack was just foiled. Tunnels in NYC were going to be targeted. Cannot understand why but a Moslem man was arrested! Who could have imagined it? I would have thought it might be a 68 year old Catholic nun but ya just never know these days!



FBI disrupts New York City tunnel plot By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer
26 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Authorities have disrupted planning by foreign terrorists for an attack on New York City tunnels, two law enforcement officials said Friday.

FBI agents monitoring Internet chat rooms used by extremists learned in recent months of the plot to strike a blow at the city's economy by destroying vital transportation networks, one official said.

Lebanese authorities, acting on a U.S. request, have arrested one of the alleged plotters, identified as Amir Andalousli, the other official said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still under way.

A senior Lebanese security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the suspect was arrested a month ago. He said his real name is as Assem Hammoud, and that the native of Beirut admitted to the plot.

Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y., said, "This is one instance where intelligence was on top of its game and discovered the plot when it was just in the talking phase."

The planning for the tunnel attacks was first reported by the New York Daily News in its Friday editions, the first anniversary of the attacks on the London transportation system that killed 52 people.
