re: Notice that it was another nitwit plot? Going to blow a hole in the Holland Tunnel and flood the financial district. Completely oblivious to the fact that the financial district isn't below sea level, so even if they blow a big enough hole to flood the tunnel, it won't flood the district...

Come on CJ, Ten and Steve are shaking in their boots. These guys were actually talking about blowing up the Holland tunnel. No money, no explosives, no one in the US... but they were a real danger.

The thought just occurred to me, remember when Mindmeld was "talking" about nuking Mecca? Is that a terrorist plot; should he be arrested? And Steve "talking" about killing the "cockroaches" (now offered amnesty) is that a terrorist plot; should he be arrested? And the folks talking about turning Iran/Iraq into "sand" with nukes...

I'm confused; where do you draw the terrorist line? At the US border?

Maybe SI posters and terrorists are mutually exclusive... or maybe not.

"another nitwit plot"

It was also a bunch of disaffected America-haters communicating through e-mail about a plot for which they had neither the money or the means to carry out. A lot of hate talk. If they're monitoring Arab e-mail, they could probably bust a group like this every day until November!

"Good question. What IS the big deal?"

Notice that it was another nitwit plot? Going to blow a hole in the Holland Tunnel and flood the financial district. Completely oblivious to the fact that the financial district isn't below sea level, so even if they blow a big enough hole to flood the tunnel, it won't flood the district...


And yet the terrorist mess in Bombay yesterday was extremely well crafted and executed. Funny, how real terrorism is so much more professional and sophisticated than the current plots Bush is uncovering here in the US. Do you think his minions will fall for it nonetheless. Of course.
