anybody get the feeling that there is a huge disinformation campaign going on?

We claim to have no intelligence on the "cells", yet we have detained hundreds of people who are in these cells. We are now having people detained in the UK and in Spain. Sweden has several people under surveillance.

We freeze assets of these people who we have no information on.

We have big boats and airplanes heading in Afghanistan's direction, yet our guys are saying "don't expect a big invasion/military action.

I think that we know a lot more than we are letting on and are just claiming ignorance so that they are lulled into a false sense of security.

Further, I think that we are planning something big and that is why it is taking a while to get into action. Again, we are letting them think that we aren't going to make a big military move to let them think that they are safe and so that they put their guard down.

Not only do I think your analogy is correct I would add that I wont stand for playing by two different sets of rules. Lets just be "dinner table" honest here. Our people were innocent too so if a few of their people die.....oh well....we needed to thin the herd anyhow. I think the globe is getting heavy on that side. It could throw the whole tilt of the earth off balance. Geez.....that could lead to destruction of the rain forests. Bomb them early and bomb them OFTEN

very well stated......If you stand there and do nothing, you are going to get your head cracked just as meaningfully as the guy who throws the brick at the cop. If you are a good guy, at this point, you have a responsibility to get yourself out of harm's way or suffer the same consequences as the bad guys.
