Default And Oh, BTW the FBI disrupts terrorist plot to blow up Holland Tunnel

In case you only read the NY Times......

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/sto...p-364959c.html

They were "spying" on them! quick call Ted Kennedy this must be stopped! I'm sure that their "rights" were violated!

Unbelievable! the "Paper of Record" has nothing about it....


But you can read about the horrendous treatement of some Algerian at the bloody hands of the US! Incredible! Is anyone at eht newspaper even an AMerican?

The ACLU is on line 1 for you. They wish to defend these "freedom fighters"' rights as they were clearly violated.

How dare we interrupt their scheme!

They have waited a year to release this terror plot that was foiled, just in time for midterm elections, brilliant strategy.

Actually they didn't release it, it was a 'leak' irresponsibly printed by the press. The jerks in the press managed to upset an ongoing investigation and make Foreign Security services less likely to work with us. The FBI guy at the news conf was Pi***d about it.

A lot of the operations shouldn't be made public. But the press doesn't give a **** about our security.


Congrats for the ongoing work by the people keeping us safe.

According to the Associated Press, a Lebanese security official said Hammoud confessed to plotting to attack New York City tunnels in October or November of this year and said he was acting on Osama bin Laden's orders. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

Hammoud told investigators he was acting "on a religious order from bin Laden and said 'I am proud to carry out his orders'," the official said.

Mershon and other officials complained about the leak of the story to the New York Daily News, which first reported a plot existed, saying it complicated relationships with other countries involved in the investigation.

The Holland Tunnel was not targeted, as the Daily News reported, Mershon said.

Rep. Peter King said he was first briefed of the plot shortly after becoming Homeland Security Chairman in September.

"I can confirm that for the last 9 to 10 months I have been aware of a plot to attack New York transit system and lower Manhattan," said King.

King said he could not discuss the plot further because the information was classified.

New York's Democrat Senators Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton also said they were breifed Thursday night by the FBI about the plot. The plot was first reported by the New York Daily News.

"This is one instance where intelligence was on top of its game and discovered the plot when it was just in the talking phase," Schumer said
So the info was leaked.

That's of course good news. I heard on the radio that they were tracked down through internet chat rooms. If that's true, then it goes to show you that we don't need to trample on the Constitution and our rights in order to hunt down terrorists. Of course, we'll have to wait for more news.

As far as the New York Times goes, my guess is FTW posted an early morning edition cover, printed before the story broke. The story now appears on the NYT home page.

There are 5 guys they are looking for since the story is now public it will be more difficult to find them.

Another great hob by the main stream media. /scarcasm
