FWIW Jerome,

Today FBI said an attack on the Capitol building on or with a few days of 9/11 was foiled when some of the enablers of the terror act were detained sending the perps scattering out of the country or underground in the US. Jerome, I am not naive and this could be pure propaganda on the governments part but given what happened I have to give the govt the benefit of the doubt. And of course even if it is true, it still doesnt change the fact that 90% plus of the detainees are probably innocent of any wrong doing as relates to terror. So the civil libertarian in us is juxtaposed against the need for security, particularly for our loved ones. For now i choose to be safe first. Mike

The reason we should continue working your "muslim barrios" of the US is the immediacy of the threat that sleeper cells pose to the American people. Newsweek reports the disruption of an action cell and a support cell which was in the process of a post 9/11 attack on Washington DC. The priorities are right - safety first, then pursuit of the terrorists to the ends of the earth. Should that include Saudi Arabia? Absolutely.
