2. I thought I heard yesterday that we picked up some guy in Afghanistan

And he just opened right up and spilled the beans.

I hope they didn't torture him or he may have just said what Bush wanted to hear to stop the pain.

Thats how we got the terrorists wearing scuba gear plot.

9. the OP said "muslim," not "terrorist"
Apparently, it was a muslim man who became concerned about the behavior of another member of his community following terrorist attacks in london last july. He contacted authoriities, and the investigation grew from there.

6. But they also said the thing was infiltrated a year ago.

This story has already collapsed, they just don't know how to save face at this point.

7. Do we ever get tips from "Jews", "Bhudists", or "Atheists"?
why is there always this focus about someone's faith?

I guess its okay to hate "Muslims".....

8. ABC said last night that part of the reason they captured the terroriststs
was from the "listening in" program. SEE! Wiretaps do get terrorists! :eyes:

They also made Pakistan out to be less than helpful claiming that they would only allow investigations to go so far and then they refused help.

They also took great pains in pointing out that one of the captured terrorists only converted to Islam 6 months ago. Listen for conservative talk to take that soundbite and run with the "all of Islam are terrorists!" meme.

Was anyone else getting ill from the scare tactics being used on the news last night?
