Bush saves us again. If a dem ever become Pres they won't do a thing to protect us. 4 Charged in JFK Airport Terror Plot Jun 2 12:34 PM US/Eastern By ADAM GOLDMAN Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Three people were arrested and one other was being sought Saturday in connection to a plan to set off explosives in a fuel line that feeds John F. Kennedy International Airport and runs through residential neighborhoods, officials close to the investigation said. The plot, which never got past the planning stages, did not involve airplanes or passenger terminals, according to the two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the arrests had not yet been announced. Details were to be given out at a 1 p.m. news conference. The pipeline takes fuel from a facility in Linden, N.J., to the airport. Other lines service LaGuardia Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport. The arrests mark the latest in a series of alleged homegrown terrorism plots targeting high-profile American landmarks. A year ago, seven men were arrested in what officials called the early stages of a plot to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and destroy FBI offices and other buildings. A month later, authorities broke up a plot to bomb underwater New York City train tunnels to flood lower Manhattan. And six people were arrested a month ago in an alleged plot to unleash a bloody rampage on Fort Dix in New Jersey. ___

Making a choice, during an active military campaign, to deliberately* allow one's opponents to escape from a trap, an encirclement.* The Pakistanis where not our opponents in an active military campaign. As you have pointed out we are not at war with them. If your referring to the idea of letting Al Qaeda escape, you have not established that idea. OTOH at Dunkirk, it is clear and without a doubt that through, mistakes, misunderstandings, and/or deliberate policy on the part of the Germans, the British where able to escape. "entirely different" these two times, because there was a 'declared war' in one case and only a semi-declared war in the other? I'm sorry, Tim... but that doesn't sound very logical to me.... Your begging the question. "semi-declared war" hasn't been established. Obvious open major war is very different then alleged but unproven low level proxy war.
