Thomas, as usual all you have to offer are insults and stupidity. Why don't you go put your head back in the dark place where it usually stays.

If BJboy was still Pres, these camps would still be up and running. ROD PARA MOUNTAINS, Afghanistan, Jan. 27 — Within weeks of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, al-Qaida’s leaders in this remote region of Afghanistan were showing videos of planes hitting the World Trade Center, heralding the success of Osama bin Laden’s terror network and seeking to inspire future radicals to stage global attacks, documents uncovered by MSNBC.com show. THE DOCUMENTS, unearthed this week in the rubble of a large al-Qaida training camp in southern Afghanistan, portray a chillingly efficient organization that boasted to new terrorist recruits of its involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks. The al-Qaida camp in the Rod Para Mountains, known as Meivand by U.S. intelligence officials because of its proximity to a village of the same name, lies 30 miles west of Kandahar and a one-hour drive over unmarked desert tracks that frequently disappear with no warning. Meivand, which was destroyed on Jan. 1 by U.S. warplanes, was one of al-Qaida’s largest training camps in Afghanistan, with infrastructure to support up to 700 fighters. Above ground, the camp consisted of more than 50 buildings, including a hospital. The facilities extended into a large cave complex used for storage and housing. Though reduced to rubble, there is evidence of a running water supply and underground wiring for electricity. msnbc.com
